FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



The thanks of the Society are due to Sheriff Lyell, of Paisley, for 

 his Opening Lecture, and to Mr. S. W. Barnaby for his Watt 

 Anniversary Lecture. 



The lecture of the latter is now in the printer's hands, and will 

 be issued in due course as one of the papers of the Society. 



Your Committee trust that the high standard of Watt Lectures 

 ever aimed at has been well maintained, and that they may still 

 continue to provide a lasting memorial to James Watt in the town of 

 his birth. 



At a joint meeting of the Members of the Society and the 

 Proprietors of the Greenock Library, held on 25th December, 1905, 

 the Annual Report of the Museum and Hall Committee was 

 submitted. 



Messrs. A. Campbell Finlay and Robert A. Clapperton were 

 appointed the Society's representatives. 



The Office-bearers who retire at this time are Mr. John G. 

 Kincaid, President ; the Rev. Charles Allan, Messrs. W. D. Boyd, 

 W. A. Thorn, A. R. Prentice, W. Hillhouse Carmichael, and the 

 Secretary and Treasurer.
