ee St 
SECRETARY'S REPORT. 25 
It will be noticed that as far as possible lectures of local 
interest were selected, though a general subject is always 
welcome. 
In the summer months the fixed syllabus was dispensed 
with, and monthly circulars have been issued to the members, 
giving particulars of both lectures and excursions. The 
lectures also were not so lengthy as those given during the 
winter, more time being devoted to the exhibition and 
descriptions of specimens collected, reports of excursions, 
etc. The following is a list of the papers given during April- 
September :—
