by contributing communications, no matter how short, or by 
bringing objects of interest, even if only to ask questions about 
them. In a large town like Croydon there must always be 
something to bring forward. New roads are being made, drains 
are daily being relaid, so that anyone with a taste for geology 
will be sure to find something. Gardens are also plentiful, and 
the growth of plants in them always has some point of interest, 
without the necessity of going farther afield. Then again the 
cyclists ought to be able to do something for.us in remoter parts 
of the county. I know of one man who has got together a 
large collection of chalk fossils by visiting the various chalk-pits 
during his leisure time, and I have seen others in rather large 
numbers who contrive to collect rather a large geological deposit 
on their backs. 
The balance for the Special Fund Account is more satisfactory, 
being £18 Os. 8d. as compared with £9 2s. 8d. last year. 
The attendance at the Conversational Meetings of the various 
sections is not at all what could be wished. With the exception 
of the Anthropological Section last January, when Mr. Lovett 
exhibited and described a number of stone implements, the 
gathering has not usually exceeded three or four, and on one 
occasion it was limited to two. If these meetings are to be 
continued, it is necessary that we should reconsider in what 
manner they can best be carried out, and I would suggest that 
a small committee be formed for the purpose.

The. Meteorological Sub-Committee has continued its work under 
the supervision of its Honorary Secretary. The daily rainfall of 
seventy-eight stations in the Club District has been tabulated every 
month, examined and corrected, and the results printed.and issued to 
the observers, and all members of the Club interested in the question, 
either before or within a few days after the end of the month succeed- 
ing that to which the statisticsrefer. Short particulars of the weather 
have also been inserted in every monthly sheet. The Sub-Committee 
regret to record the loss of four stations during the year, one of them 
owing to the observer’s death, but are happy:to inform the Club that 
new observers have come forward to supply these vacancies. Three 
gentlemen interested in the work of the Section contributed the sum 
of £15 towards the expenses, and one other gentleman has subscribed 
5s. for the returns.—F. CAMPBELL-BAyaRD, Hon. Sec. 
Report of the Anthropological Section.—During the year several 
objects of interest connected with this subject have been exhibited and 
described, and a paper was read upon ‘“‘ Superstition,” especially in 
relation to the wearing of charms and amulets, by Mr. Edward Lovett, 
the Honorary Secretary of the Section; who has also made records 
and collected specimens in illustration of folk-lore and myth.
