On the whole, our Lectures' have been pretty well attended, 
but there is great room for improvement. 
This Society has made some progress during the year, but 
not as much as might have been expected, considering the popu- 
lation. 
The number of members on the books is 103, as against 83 
last year. 
The Committee beg to express their thanks to those friends 
from other Societies, who favoured them with Papers, and trust 
to receive a continuance of such help. 
It is with the utmost sorrow the Committee have heard of the 
death of the Society’s earliest and best friend, the Rev. J. Clifton 
Ward, F.G.S. We shall miss his cheerful assistance and instructive 
lectures more than we can express.
