The thanks of the Club are due to the Rev. J. Cowley Fowler, 

 B.A., the Editor of Part 1, Vol. 2, and to all the members who 

 contributed papers to the number. 



The sale of the Proceedings, as will be noticed from the 

 Treasurer's Report, is an increase on previous years, and if 

 members would only make them more widely known, we should 

 probably have a considerably larger income from this source. 



Library. — The following Works have been added to the 

 Society's Library during the year: — Vol. III., Part 3, of the Hull 

 Society's Proceedings, and the Naturalist for 1905. 



Museum. — Mr. Baker Hudson has informed me that the 

 Museum authorities have given permission to us to hold our 

 meetings at the Museum, and have placed a room at our disposal 

 when required. Under the Curator, Mr. Baker Hudson, and the 

 Assistant Curator, Mr. Frank Elgee, the Museum collection is 

 being got into shape, and will, no doubt, in time become of very 

 valuable assistance to local students, and should also stimulate 

 workers and possibly become the means of enlarging the Club 

 membership, but to do this it must not be lost sight of that the 

 collection should become more an index of the Natural Fauna and 

 Flora of the Cleveland district, and the more this is kept in 

 view the more valuable will the Museum, as an educational 

 agency, become, in my opinion.
