The Committee of the Association, in presenting their fourteenth 
Annual Report, have much pleasure in stating that 31 New 
Members have been added during the past Session, but, owing to 
resignations and removal, the number of Members on the register 
has only increased from 269 to 280. 
Eleven papers have been read by Members and their local 
friends, and one special lecture was given by J. E. Taylor, 
Ph. D., F.L.S., F.G.S., &c., of Ipswich, on “Bees, their Relation 
to Agriculture and to Horticulture.” 
An effort has been made to increase the usefulness of the Associ- 
ation, by inviting some of the Benefit and other Societies of the 
Town, to inspect the Museum and Loan Collection and to hear 
scientific addresses. Of the six entertainments given, two were 
very well attended. 
The Library has been increased by a gift of 33 vols. The 
Committee beg to call the attention of Associate Members to the 
fact of the Honorary Librarian being at the Rooms on Tuesday 
evenings. 
A loan collection of Drawings has been obtained from the 
South Kensington Museum, and the Committee desire to thank 
Lord Lonsdale, Mrs. Robertson Walker, Messrs. Ainsworth, 
Mr. J. G. Dees, Mr. R. Russell, Dr. Ablett, Dr. Parker, 
Mr. W. Whittle, Mrs. D. Robertson, Mr. J. Robertson, Mr. J. 
Vivian, Mr. Jacques, The Proprietors of the Graphic, The 
President, and many other friends, for the valuable collection of 
Pictures, Pottery, and other interesting objects lent to increase 
the exhibits of the Museum.
