numerically, 
Twenty-nine Members have been elected during the year, and 
the number now on the books is one hundred and ninety. 
On May 29th, 1879, the Society had a very interesting Field 
Day; Tilberthwaite Ghyll and Coniston being visited under the 
leadership of the Rev. J. C. Ward. 
The Conversazione, by which the Winter Session was opened, 
was largely attended, and the Committee have to acknowledge the 
assistance and support which they received from Members of the 
Society and others, who kindly lent many objects of interest on 
the occasion. 
There have been five Public Lectures and six Ordinary 
Meetings. The Lectures have been generally well attended ; but 
the attendance at the Ordinary Meetings has been unequal.
