The cost of Volume 1 in parts (5) has been reduced to 5/- 

 to Members, and they may also obtain single parts at a 

 reduction of 20 per cent. ; as there are a fair number of copies of 

 most of the parts in hand, I trust that members who have not 

 complete sets, will avail themselves of the opportunity of 

 purchasing them before the stock is exhausted. 



Your committee appointed the Eev. J. Cowley Fowler, 13. A., 

 F.G.S., to the position of Editor, which, we are pleased to say, he 

 has accepted. 



Library. — The following works have been added to the Society's 

 Library during the year : — Vol. 1, Part 2, of the Hull Society's 

 Proceedings; Vol. 1, Part 2, of the Weardale Naturalists' Field 

 Club Transactions, both presented by the Societies. 



The Naturalist for 1904, and the Yorkshire Naturalist Union 

 Transactions, Part 31 : — 



If the Society had a permanent room and Library 

 accommodation (that is if there is a desire for such by the 

 members), I think the Library is a portion of our work which 

 might be further developed, and prove of practical use to our 

 members. 



SECEETARY'S REPORT FOR 1905-6. 



I have pleasure in submitting the following Report, this being 

 my 8th Annual Report, and the 25th year of the Club's 

 existence. 



While no great advance on previous years has been made, I 

 think the value of the work done by the Club has been maintained. 

 During the past 12 months, 7 Summer Meetings and 8 Winter 

 Meetings have been held, and another part of our Proceedings 

 has been published. The Club has had, I think, during the past 

 year, more assistance from its members in arranging its Summer 

 and Winter Meetings, than, has been the case in any previons 

 year.
