REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL & CHEMICAL SECTION, 



1888-9. 



Chairman: Horace T. Brown, F.R.S., F.G.S., F.I.C. 



Owing to various causes, this Section has nothing of any importance 

 to chronicle for the past year, except the communication, by the Chair- 

 man, of the results of his exhaustive survey of the neighbourhood to the 

 Geological Society in a Paper, entitled "The Permian Rocks of the 

 Leicestershire Coal Field." 



The Section has sustained a severe loss in the removal from Burton 

 of its late energetic Secretary — Mr. T. Cuthbert Day.

REPORT OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION, 1888-89. 



Chairman: C. O'Sullivan, F.R.S. 



This Section was formed in February, and has since held several 

 Evening Meetings as follows: — 



Feb. 18th — Inaugural Meeting. 



Mar. 6th — Paper by Mr. J. G. Wells on "Retouching and Finishing." 



Apl. loth — Paper by Mr. R. Churchill on "Makeshifts." 



Sep. 20th — Discussion of the results of the Members' Summer Work. 



A Sectional Excursion took place to Lichfield on June ist, when a 

 number of pictures of the Cathedral were obtained. The Members hope, 

 from time to time, to give exhibitions of their work; and feel that 

 if, in return, the Committee could see their way to giving grants for 

 the purchase cf Photographic Literature, &c., they would be amply 

 rewarded.

Hon. Sec.
