permission of Mr. W. Evelyn; and on August 1st Bank Holiday

SEcTIONS. 
With the exception of the Anthropological and Zoological 
Sections, which have been without Hon. Secretaries, all the 
sections have had meetings, and have been doing very useful 
work. 
The Botanical Section has held a meeting in conjunction with 
the Microscopical, and one alone, and has also had several special 
evening excursions. 
The Geological Section has had regular monthly meetings, 
including one with the Microscopical Section, and organized 
some extra excursions. 
The Microscopical Section held three meetings, one alone, and 
two in conjunction with the Botanical and Geological Sections, 
respectively. 
The Photographie Section, notwithstanding being without a 
duly appointed Secretary, held three meetings, having been 
assisted by Mr. Baldock, though at great inconvenience. The 
portfolios have not been able to be sent out so regularly as before. 
The Meteorological Section has issued the rainfall returns 
with its accustomed regularity, and the report analysing these 
will be read in due course. 
The Museum Committee reports having arranged to lend speci- 
mens, as authorized by the Council, for educational purposes. The 
museum-case in the Town Hall appears to attract attention, and 
thus answers the purpose for which it was placed there. About 
eighty-two specimens have been added during the year, exclusive 
of one hundred Roman coins from the find in Croydon, lent 
by the Croydon County Council. Loans of archeological and 
zoological specimens are much needed. 
The Zoological Section has been without a Secretary, and it 
is regretted that no report is to hand. 
The Annual Soirée, owing to financial reasons, was not held; 
but in lieu of it the President provided a lecture, which was — 
given by Mr. A. L. Lewis, on ‘British Stone Circles” on 
December 12th. 
The need of appointing Secretaries to the Anthropological, 
Photographic, and Zoological Sections if any work is to be done 
in these branches is strongly pointed out, and it is hoped that 
some members will come forward to undertake the duties. 
The thanks of the Council are given to all those who, during 
the past year, have in any capacity assisted in the work of the 
Society.
