Vil.— From The Hamilton Scientific Association for the Promotion of 
Literature, Science and Art, through Dr. BuRGEss. 
Your council is pleased to report a most prosperous year. Fifty- 
one new members have joined the Association. A new section has 
been formed—the Astronomical, which is most active, has a large 
membership, and holds fortnightly meetings. The Camera section 
still keeps up its enthusiasm and is preparing for another annual 
exhibition. The Geological section still has the able support of Col. 
Grant, and has added many new fossils to our collection, besides send- 
ing a number to different museums. 
During the year the museum has been kept open each Saturday 
afternoon for visitors. 
In all there have been thirty-three meetings held at which papers 
have been read and discussed. Those read before the general Asso- 
ciation have mostly been of high scientific interest, of which the fol- 
lowing is a list:— 
1901. 
Nov. 14.— Opening Meeting—Inaugural Address, Pres., Dr. Morgan.
