The meetings of our Society have been well attended this 
Session ; but the number of Members has fallen from 126 to 103. 
This diminution, however, has been mostly caused by the removal 
of Members from the neighbourhood. 
There were two Field-days held last summer. The first 
Excursion was to Abbey Town, where the Abbey, Raby Court, &c., 
were inspected. The Rev. A. F. Sheppard reading a paper on the 
“Old Abbey.” The Members of the Carlisle Scientific Society 
and Field Naturalists’ Club joined us on this occasion. 
The second Excursion was to Lanercost, Naworth, and Gilsland, 
but owing to the wet morning very few attended. 
The Committee take this opportunity of thanking those gentle- 
men who so kindly came from other Societies to help us. They 
regret the removal of the Rey. W. Horne, M.A., the President, as 
he always did his utmost to further the interests of the Society. 
Although the subscription for the Session is only 2s. 6d., the 
Society has a good balance in hand.
