Mr. Pre.sident and Members of the Cincinnati 

 SociETv of Naturae History: 



On behalf of the Photographic Section, I have to report an 

 undiminished interest in all matters pertaining to Photography. 



Our membership is now 113. 



We have lost during the past year by death, none. 



B}- removal from the cit}', two. 



And by resignation, nine. 



And have dropped from membership, for non-payment of 

 dues, 31. 



While we have gained ten new members. 



In accordance with the custom inaugurated .some years 

 since, our Annual Outing was given on May 30th last (Decora- 

 tion Day), and was attended by more than one hundred mem- 

 bers of this Section and their friends. The place selected 

 was Foster's Crossing, on the Little Miami R. R., a very 

 beautiful spot, and convenient of access. In addition to the 

 Annual Outing, a number of Saturday afternoon excursions 

 were planned, carried into execution during the past Summer 

 by a limited number of our members, and proved a most 

 enjoyable relaxation from the cares of business and pro- 

 fessional life.
