the works of some of the musical composei"s, w-ith specimens of a few of 

 their compositions, would justly come within the scope of the purposes 

 of the Society, and they consequently made arrangements with Mr 

 Dannreuther for a lecture on Chopin and Liszt, with pianoforte illustra- 

 tions. The result was such as to lead them to believe that they mil 

 cany out the wishes of the Membei-s if they arrange for a lectme of this 

 kind in each Session. As usual, the Watt anni\ei-sary lecture was made 

 a special feature, and the Committee were fortunate in obtaining the 

 services of Mr J. Scott Russell, whose name is a representative one in 

 the annals of steam navigation, and in the ])i'actical apj)lication of Watt's 

 inventions. To the Rev. Mr Lloyd and the Rev. Mr Barclay, two of 

 its Membei"s, the Society is indebted for the excellent lectures which they 

 delivered. In terms of the deed of constitution for the management of 

 the Museum and Hall, the Members of the Society met on 6th October, 

 and elected Messrs Graham Brymner, James Aitken, John Scott, G. R. 

 M'Dougall, T. R. Ogilvie, and John Neill, junr., as the six repre.sen- 

 tatives from the Society to the Committee of Management of the.se 

 buildings. The Office-bearers who retire are: — Mr Gi-ahani Brymner, 

 President; Mr William M'CIure, one of tlie Vice-Presidents; and the 

 Rev. J. M. Jarvie, and Messi-s R. Blackmore, Robert Allan, D. M. 

 Erskine, and A. J. Bhick, Members of Committee.
