FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



A gratifying feature of the Society's work is the increased 

 requests each year, particularly from abroad, for copies of the 

 Society's Watt Lectures, the demand for the copies of the 1906 

 lecture being greater than the number available. This would seem 

 to indicate that the object of the Watt Anniversary Lecture in 

 celebrating the birth of James Watt and at the same time furthering 

 the pursuit of Science, has been fully justified. 



At a Meeting of the Society held on 31st December, Messrs. 

 John Lang and Alexander Shearer were re-elected the Society's 

 re])resentatives on the Museum Committee. 



The Otlice-bearers who retire at this time are Mr. Ryrie Orr, 

 ]\[.A., Vice-])resident, and Messrs. John B. Hutchison, H. M. Steele, 

 D. A. Morrison, Fred. Lear Wrede, Dr. C. ^^". jNLarshaH, and D. M. 

 Wallace. 



The -Secretary has also intimated his intention of retiring at 

 this time, and a new Secretary falls to be a])pointed.
