On Saturday, 5th October, a visit was paid to the 
Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincolns 
Inn Fields. Prof. Charles Stewart, LL.D.) Fe BeS., the 
Conservator of the Museum, kindly conducted the party 
and pointed out and explained all the more salient 
features of the splendid collections. The Members are 
very much indebted to Prof. Stewart for the trouble he 
took, and for the most interesting and lucid lecture he 
gave, which lasted nearly two hours.

A series of ‘‘Class Meetings,” for the discussion of 
Astronomical matters, was held during the early part of 
the year. The meetings were presided over by Mr. P. 
E. Vizard, and the text book chosen was Lockyer’s 
“Elementary Astronomy.” Various subjects were dis- 
cussed, such as Time and its measurements, Universal 
Gravitation, etc. Six meetings were held and a con- 
siderable amount of interest was shown by the members 
who attended. 
A number of visits have been paid to the Society’s 
Telescope during the year, the attendance register 
showing a total of 71. Owing to the inclement weather, 
several of the demonstrations arranged for could not 
take place, but a series of weekly visits was made 
‘during June and July. It is hoped that further regular 
meetings will be held during 1902.
