NOTES ON THE PROGRESS MADE BY THE CLUB. 155 
presented by Mr. J. R. Lowther, Carpenter’s ‘ Introduction 
to the Foraminifera,” presented by Mr. F. W. Mills, F.R.M.S., 
and thirteen handbooks presented by the Trustees of the 
British Museum. The Library is still handicapped for want 
of proper accommodation, and several volumes of scientific 
magazines, &c., require binding. 
The Microscope Club is in active operation, and several 
good instruments, &c., have been purchased during the year. 
The British Association.—Since our last meeting the Club 
has been elected a Corresponding Society of the British 
Association, and your Secretary was appointed delegate. He 
attended the Bradford Meeting early in the present month, 
and took part in the discussions of the Corresponding 
Societies Committee, which met twice during the Meeting of 
the Association. 
A Photograph Album has been purchased for the Club’s 
use, and Mr. C. W. Mason, who has charge of it, would be 
glad to have suitable unmounted photographs for insertion. 
The Club’s Collection.—The entomologists have added to 
the Club’s collection during the year, and Mr. F. W. Mills, 
F.R.M.S., has presented some interesting microscope slides ; 
one of these, containing specimens of the foraminifera from 
the mud of the Humber, is- exceptionally interesting and 
valuable. 
Exhibits.— Mention should be made of the remarkable 
hybrids (stuffed) exhibited at our meeting on January 3rd by 
Mr. W. H. Rider, of Hull. The sire was a fawn pug dog, 
and the dam a jet black cat. The hybrids were a grey colour 
and of peculiar appearance. Many other interesting objects 
have been brought before our members during the year, 
amongst which should be mentioned the hoard of bronze axes 
and mould from Hotham, and other pre-historic objects of 
local interest, kindly lent for exhibition by the Rev. Canon 
Greenwell, F.R.S., F.S.A. Several of the exhibits are 
described in our Transactions. 
The Exhibition. Perhaps one of the most successful of 
the Club’s undertakings was on Feb. 8th, gth, and roth last, 
when an Exhibition of local Natural History, Geological, and 
Archeological specimens was held in the large room in the
