REPORT OF COMMITTEE EOR 1883. 



Your Committee have the pleasure to report that the number 

 of members attending the monthly Scientific meetings during the 

 past year has been steadily increasing, especially on those 

 evenings when papers have been read. It is much to be desired 

 that more members would make written or verbal communications 

 to the Society, on any subject of Natural History or Science with 

 which they may be familiar, and thus materially add to the interest 

 of the evening meetings. 



The following papers and addresses have been presented 

 during the past year : — 



February 7, The Cells of Melicerta Ringens, il'ustrated by Microscopical 

 preparations, CoL. HoRSLEV, R.E. On Testacella Haliotoidea,
