SCIENCE TEACHING. 
Several of the Societies refer to this matter, but the suggestions 
do not afford the Council sufficient ground on which to formulate 
a scheme. One Society proposes that a prize be awarded to such 
students in connection with any of the Local Societies as shall 
obtain a first class in the Advanced Course of the Science Examin- 
ations held in connection with South Kensington. Another 
suggests a prize to the member of a Local Society who shall 
during the year produce the best Botanical, &c. Collection, with 
essay on the same. But the matter requires consideration. 
SuB-COMMITTEES. 
In addition to the Sub-Committees already appointed for the 
systematic recording of such matters as might be valuable in 
Geology, &c., the Maryport Society has appointed another in 
Entomology, whilst the Keswick Society is also appointing others. 
For the guidance of such Committees, we may quote from the 
last British Association Report (Leeds). Several of the Com- 
mittees then appointed are desirous of obtaining assistance from 
Local Societies, so that their reports may be more valuable. 
Amongst the subjects we may notice the following :— 
. The application of Photography to the elucidation of the 
Meteorological Phenomena.

. Seasonal Variations in the Temperature of Lakes, Rivers, and 
Estuaries in various parts of the United Kingdom. 
3. Recording the Position, Height above the Sea, Lithological 
Character, Size, and Origin of the Erratic Blocks of England, 
Wales, and Ireland, reporting other matters of interest con- 
nected with the same, and taking measures for their pres- 
ervation. 
4. The Collection, Preservation, and Systematic Registration of 
Photographs of Geological interest. 
5. Disappearance of Native Plants from their Local Habitats,
