The Section was represented at the Annual Conference of the 

 Midland Union of Natural History Societies by its Chairman, 

 H. Arnold-Bemrose, Esq., M.A., F.G.S. The Conference was held 

 at Dudley, on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 13th and 14th, 1891. 



The Midland Union is anxious to visit Derby, and the Committee 

 hope to be able to arrange for this visit either next or the following 

 year. 



The accompanying Balance Sheet is not all that could be 

 desired ; the chief defect appears to be the non-payment of a good 

 many annual subscriptions. If members will kindly bear this in 

 mind when they receive, as many shortly will, notice of arrears, 

 the matter will be set straight, and your Council will have no 

 further cause to be other than satisfied with the results of the 

 fourteenth year of our proceedings.
