MICROSCOPICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY SECTION. 



Annual Meeting, April 13tli, 1885. 



Dr. Alcock, President of the Section, in the Chair. 



Annual Report of the Section, April, 1885. 



There have been 7 meetings of the Section during the 

 past session, at which the attendance has been satisfactory. 

 During the same period (J meetings of the Council have been 

 held. 



The balance in the hands of the Treasurer continues to 

 increase, and stands at £194 8s. lid., on the 7th April, 

 1885 ; but this amount includes the unexpended balance of 

 a grant of £100 made for the purchase of Natural History 

 works by the Council of the Parent Society from their 

 " Natural History Fund." The Council of the Section con- 

 sider it desirable to keep their expenditure against these 

 grants under a separate heading, and for that reason the 

 payments made on this account during the past session 

 (£41 19s.) appear separate from the ordinary expenditure 

 of the Section, in the accompanying statement of the 

 Treasurer. The Council think it right to put on record a 

 statement of the whole of the payments which they have 

 made during the last eleven years against grants made from 

 the Natural History Fund, and the Treasurer has made the 

 accompanying abstract of the receipts and expenditure of 

 this fund, showing a credit balance of £55 ISs. Id., on the 

 7th April, 1885.
