GREENOCK PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, 



The Society's Papers have, as usual, been sent to numerous 

 learned and scientific societies. During the session your Committee 

 adopted a new system of lantern illustration by the introduction of 

 the electric light, for which purpose a special lantern, suitable to 

 the new agent, was purchased. Through the skilful manipulation 

 of Mr. R. W. Jamieson, the lanternist, the improved results were 

 most marked, and met with the universal approval and appreciation 

 of the lecturers. 



The Office-bearers who retire at this time are Messrs. William 

 Cook, President; John Duncan, Vice-President ; and Messrs. H. J. 

 Taylor, William M'Clure, Dr. James Wallace, Peter MacKellar, and 

 James Nicoll, ^Members of Committee.
