■Guthrie Tait,'' by C. G. Knott (4to., Cambridge, 191 1), presented 

 by Mr. W. A. Tait. 



Prof. F. E. Weiss, D.Sc., F.L.S., exhibited a specimen of 

 the fungus Gyninosporavgimn parasitic on the common Juniper. 

 This fungus appears in spring in the form of orange-coloured, 

 finger-like processes on the stem and branches of the Juniper, 

 and its spores are then carried by the wind to the leaves of the 

 Mountain Ash or Hawthorn, on which it lives parasitically 

 •during the summer. It completes its life-history by re-infecting 

 the Juniper in the autumn. 



Dr. G. HiCKLiNG read a paper, written by Dr. Henry Wilde, 

 F.R.S,, entitled ''On the Periodic Times of Saturn's 

 Rings." 



The paper is printed in full in the Memoirs. 



Mr. R. L. Taylor, F.C.S., F.I.C., communicated a paper,

The paper is printed in the Alemoirs.
