MEETINGS OF SOCIETIES. 
The meetings of the various societies that make the Museum 
their home have been continued throughout the quarter. Papers 
on technical and general scientific subjects are read before these 
societies. The papers and discussions are often of popular 
character and are always of considerable general interest. The 
public is invited to attend the meetings, and members of the 
Museum, on making request of the Director, will be provided 
with programmes of the meetings as they are published.
