by the lecturers. The intermixture of select readings with original 
papers and discussions, gave a varied interest to the meetings, 
which increased rather than diminished towards the end of the 
Session. 
The Society joined the Carlisle Society in a Field Day at 
Penton, and spent a very pleasant Summer afternoon in that 
beautiful locality, which was rendered more interesting by the 
papers upon local subjects, that were read by J. Clifton Ward, 
Esq.; R. S. Ferguson, Esq.; and Mr. Geo. Dawson. 
The number of members ‘this year has been 37 against 42 
last year. The income from members’ subscriptions and admission 
to lectures has covered all expenses, and leaves a small balance in 
the hands of the Treasurer.
