NOTES ON THE PROGRESS MADE BY THE 
CLUB IN 1899-1900. 
(Being the Secretary's Report, vead at the Annual Meeting, 
September 26th, 1900). 
T is pleasing to report that the past year has been one of 
the most successful we have ever had. The interest 
that has been taken in the Club’s work generally by so 
many of the members is very encouraging, and augurs well 
for the future of the Society. There has been a strong in- 
clination on the part of several members to pay particular 
attention to the study of some branch of Natural History. 
The effect of this has been that a keener interest has been 
taken in our Field Meetings, several important additions have 
been made to our knowledge of the fauna and flora of the 
East Riding, and the papers read at our meetings have had a 
much greater bearing upon our work than has hitherto been 
the case. 
As in previous years, fortnightly meetings have been held 
throughout the twelve months, and at these the following
