Oedinaet Meeting, 13th March, 1879. 



J. GwTN Jeffreys, Esq., LL.D., F.E.S., etc., President, in the Chair. 



The President, in expressing his thanks for having been elected 

 to the office at the preceding meeting, said that such societies as 

 this did a great deal of good in the promotion of science, not so 

 much by popularising it as by encouraging and enabling many of 

 the members to become scientific workers. There is no one, he 

 said, however gifted, who can undertake the investigation of every 

 department of Natural History ; each must study a special branch, 

 and it is by the combination of advantages and opportunities that 

 each of us in some degree possess that science is advanced. 



Mr. Robert Thornton Andrews, Castle Street, Hertford ; Mr. 

 John Flower, 6, Fairfield Road, Croydon; Mr. Charles Edward 

 Key.ser, Meriy Hill House, Bushey, and 47, Wilton Crescent, London, 

 S.W. ; and Mr. Herbert Wailes, Park Road, Watford, were elected 

 Members of the Society. 



The following lecture was delivered : — 



" The Study of Geology." By J. Logan Lobley, F.G.S., F R.G.S.
