the Secretary's and Treasurer's Reports were read and passed, and the 

 Officers and Committee elected to serve for the present year. 



The Astronomical sub-section has also had an active session, 

 during which Mr. Martin delivered a course of twelve lectures, and also 

 conducted the same number of class meetings. This section numbered 

 twenty-eight members — four ladies and twenty-four gentlemen; the 

 average attendance was fourteen. The lectures were free to the public . 

 they were also attended by many members of the Association who did 

 not join the class. These Lectures were given in connection with the 

 Cambridge University. 



Several additional specimens have been added .to the various 

 departments of the museum. Much remains to be done in the way of 

 classifying and arranging the specimens which the Association possesses. 



At the commencement of last session, a Library was started, which 

 has received considerable support. All things considered, the position 

 of the Association, and the work it has accomplished during the year, 

 the Committee flatter themselves that their labours have not been in 

 vain.
