of Hornsea Mere, several visits have been made to that 

 locality by the members, collectively and individually. During- 

 the next twelve months it is hoped to devote much attention 

 to this interesting locality, with the view of eventually pub-

Membership. — Twenty-nine new members have been 

 elected during- the year, which brings the present total to 

 176, only a slight increase, however, upon last year's number,

The Attendance at both summer and winter meetings has 

 been up to the usual standard, averaging about 40 during- 

 the winter months and 30 during the summer. 



British Association Meeting. — Your Secretary attended 

 the Conference of Representatives ot Scientific Societies, at 

 the British Association Meeting at Belfast last month, as 

 delegate from this Society. Many matters were brought 

 forward of interest to our members, mainly in reference to 

 the lines upon which Scientific Societies should work.
