IOO HULL SCIENTIFIC AND FIELD NATURALISTS CLUB. 



The Hull Museum. — From the Club an expression of its 

 indebtedness is due to the Museum Committee of the City for 

 the increasing- usefulness of a re-organised Municipal Museum, 

 particularly in certain branches of Natural Science. The 

 table of wild-flowers in their season, the insect and ornitho- 

 logical collections, as well as the palaeontological series already 

 available, have been much appreciated ; whilst in matters 

 of determination, the promptitude of the Curator to assist 

 deserves our gratitude. The propagandist work done by 

 Mr. Sheppard in his lectures to thousands of our young 

 people is deserving of the admiration and thanks of the club. 

 In all the branches of Natural Knowledge above-mentioned, 

 we trust the Museum will continue to develop whilst there 

 is maintained a keen reciprocity between our Society on 

 the one hand and the Museum on the other. 



Press. — Our thanks are again due to the local Press for the 

 assistance it has rendered the Society in the matter of reports 

 of our excursions and meetings, the fulness and general 

 accuracy of which is much appreciated.
