Dec. 3rd — " Barrows and their contents." J. Ward. 



The Section also made an excursion to the Butterley Iron 

 Works, on Nov. 7th, following upon Mr. Carulla's paper. 



Mr. Hill received, and conducted the visitors over the works. 



At the April meeting it was resolved to join the Midland 

 Union of Natural History Societies, and Mr. Mello's paper on 

 " The Dover coal basin " has since been printed in their Journal. 



The accompanying balance sheet gives the Society a financial 



position as good as that of last year, and your Council feels 



satisfied with the results of the thirteenth year of our 



proceedings.
