Announcement of the Lecture Committee. 



The six courses of Lectures previously given by the Cincinnati 

 Society of Natural History, were thoroughly successful in giving 

 satisfaction to the large audiences assembled, and were also of utility 

 from a scientific and educational point of view. 



The Lecture Committee submits the following program to the 

 public of Cincinnati, trusting and believing that the present course 

 will not only meet with the success of the former ones, but will fully 

 sustain the reputation already established. 



Lectures will be given on Friday evenings at 8 o'clock, in the 

 rooms of the Society, 108 Broadway. 



The number of tickets of admission issued for each lecture, 

 will be limited to the accommodation of the Hall, and may be ob- 

 tained at the rooms of the Society, or from members of the Lecture 



Committee.
