 proceedings before the paper of the evening is read, has been well 

 maintained. The number of exhibits has been better than in 

 previous years, and the Society is indebted to many members and 

 friends, who live at a distance, for many valuable and interesting 

 contributions.

 was an excursion to the cliffs and shore at Dover on June 3rd, in 

 conjunction with the Dover Field Club. In July, a very enjoyable 

 excursion was made by train to Westenhanger, and thence on foot 

 across country to Lyminge. The last excursion was to Heme Bay 

 and Reculver in August. The number of members present at these 

 excursions was very satisfactory.
