social and scientific gathering commemorated the 500th meeting of 

 the Club. Addresses were given by members and their friends on 

 scientific and allied subjects, and many objects of interest were 

 shown. Although it was not possible to publish the Fauna during 

 this year, progress was made with the work; and the Honorary 

 Treasurer reported that the sum of £10 had been expended in 

 connection with the proposed work, during that and the preceding 

 year. Towards the end of the session, the Photographic section 

 deemed it advisable to resuscitate the former Leeds Photographic 

 Society, one of the earliest in the kingdom, and applied to the 

 Council with that object through its representatives, and eventually 

 a separate society was formed on an independent basis. 



1884. — During the earlier part of this year a change was made in 

 the place of meeting of the Club ; the room occupied at the Leeds 

 Mechanics' Institute, the use of which had long been granted on 

 liberal terms, not being suitable for all the requirements of the 

 Club, especially lectures, the Library at the Philosophical Hall for 

 meetings, and the Theatre for lectures, were therefore secured. 

 The Rules of the Club were revised, one of the alterations being 

 that the area for the Society's work, which had previously been 

 defined as the West Riding of Yorkshire, was restricted to certain 

 ■districts — viz., Leeds Borough, Leeds outer-ring, Permian Limestone 

 tract, Nidderdale, Upper Wharfedale, Washburn, and Middle 

 Wharfedale. The Botanical and Zoological collections of the Club, 

 in consequence of the want of proper cases aiid the necessary space, 

 were handed over to the Philosophical Society absolutely.
