 lantern slides of insects, flowers, and micro-photographs, 6cc. jNIr. Turner's 

 exposition was illustrated b\- many beautiful examples of the process, shown by 

 the lantern. 



A very considerable discussion on methods and results ensued, caiTied on by 

 the President, :Mr. John Spiller, F.C.S., Mr. F. H. Varley, F.R.A.S., Mr. 

 Briscoe, B.Sc, Mr. Crouch, the Lecturer, and others. But as these remarks 

 pertained mainly to points of photographic practice, they are unsuitable for 

 reporting here. The object of ^Mr. Turner's exposition was to show what a 

 beautiful and practical method had been placed in the hands of the naturalist..

Photographs of Colchester Charters and Essex Churches. — Mr. J.

 Shenstone, F.L.S. (one of the Vice- P res idsnts of the Club) of the Charters of the 

 Borough of Colchester, from Richard II. downwards, together with many other 

 Charters and records of historical interest. The photographs were made for and 

 presented to the Xew Town Hall, and were printed by the carbon process, but a 

 very few copies (12) \vere struck off and acquired by residents of the town. Mr.

Palaeolithic Implements from Leyton. — The Secretary exhibited on 

 behalf of Dr. Frank Comer, F.G.S., a set of over 30 Palaeolithic Implements found 

 in making excavations in the vallev of the Fillibrook at Levton, Essex. Some ot 

 them, from the gravel about 6 feet down, were much rolled and water worn ; but 

 at the 9 feet level sharper specimens occurred, and this level appeared to have 

 been the "living floor" of the makers of these implements. Dr. Corner 

 had presented the whole series to the Club's Museum. 



Mr. W. AVhitaker, F.R S., made some remarks on the implements, which he 

 considered to be very interesting, coming as they did from one locality. It was 

 most desirable for tinds of this kind to be kept together. 



The President, in suggesting that Dr. Corner should be thanked for his 

 donation, alluded to the excellent scientific work of Mr. Worthington Smith in 

 collecting and studying the implements unearthed in particular spots. Caje in 

 this respect had enabled ^Ir. -Smith to prove the existence of working-places or 

 " Palaeolithic Floors " on the margins of the old Thames and Lea. 

 The vote of thanks was cordially given.
