iv Proceedings. 
On October 20th Dr. T. A. Dukes, B.Sc., gave a paper on 
«The Parallel Roads of Glenroy.” 
On December 15th Mr. H. C. Collyer, a paper on ‘‘ Jade.”’ 
On November 18th a Soirée was held at the Public Hall, which 
resulted successfully as far as exhibits were concerned. About 
276 members and friends were present, but it is to be regretted 
that so few of the general public as compared with former 
occasions came, in spite of advertisements three consecutive 
weeks in three papers, and the issue of a large number of posters 
and bills. 
SECTIONS. 
The Anthropological and Archeological Section has had eight 
meetings,—on almost every occasion having an interesting subject 
announced for discussion. Several excursions, especially arche- 
ological, have been made. The attendance is not mentioned, 
but I believe it has been fair, though, in consequence of the 
meeting falling early in the month, and on one or two occasions 
the circular having been unavoidably delayed, the members only 
received it the same day as the meeting. 
Boranicau.—This section has held one evening meeting jointly 
with the Microscopical Section, but one otherwise on April 28rd. 
They have, however, held four or five evening rambles in the 
neighbourhood, besides taking part in general excursions, at 
which tlhe members have been active, and the annual fungus hunt 
in September. 
GrouocicaLt.—This section has also been active; at their own 
meetings a good attendance of members has been obtained. Six 
meetings have been held, and one joint meeting with the Micro- 
scopical Section. Several special excursions have been made, of 
which reports have been sent in. 
Microscopicat.—Two meetings have been held by this section, 
in addition to the joint meetings with the Botanical and Geo- 
logical Sections. 
Musevum.—One meeting has been held, but Mr. Robarts reports 
the addition of several objects to the museum-case at the Town 
Hall by members and friends. 
Puorocrapuic.—About twenty-seven meetings have been held, 
and several separate excursions made. 
Zooiocica.—Seven meetings have been held, and one or two 
special excursions made. Several members of the section have 
done excellent work for the Society, bnt the Hon. Secretary com- 
plains that the meetings have not been good; and in reference 
to this it is desirable to call members’ earnest attention to the
