The Society has again had the honour of being elected a Corres- 

 ponding Society of the British Association, and we were represented by 

 our President at the Manchester Meeting. The British Association has 

 generously resolved to present each of the Corresponding Societies with 

 a copy of their Report, and we have therefore to report the addition to 

 our Library of the volumes for 1886 and 18S7. 



The Popular Lectures have been again revived during the past 

 Winter on a somewhat broader basis than formerly. In spite of a slight 

 loss, the result must be regarded as satisfactory, since the payment of 

 Lecturers, the issue of Members' Free Tickets, and Season Tickets at 

 a reduced price, are fresh departures in connection with our Lectures. 

 Seventy Members' Tickets were issued, and had these been paid for at 

 the same rate as the Season Tickets, the deficit would have been con- 

 verted into a surplus. We recommend that the Lectures be continued 

 next Winter on the same lines as during the past Session.
