248 HULL SCIENTIFIC AND FIELD NATURALISTS’ CLUB. 
Transactions.—Our annual publications are assuming a 
more and more formidable size each year. During the past 
year we have issued Part 3 (1900). This had eighty-eight 
pages, nine plates and seven illustrations in the text. With 
the small charge of one shilling per copy to the members we 
have been able to pay for this out of the Club’s funds. - 
In addition to the Societies referred to in the last year’s 
volume, we now exchange publications with the following:— 
British Association. 
Derbyshire Naturalists’ Quarterly. 
Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society. 
Manchester Microscopical Society. 
Quekett Microscopical Club. 
Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union. 
The Library.—This continues to grow, and still requires 
additional accommodation for the books, &c. A copy of 
Mills’ ‘‘ Introduction to the Diatomaceze”’ has been purchased, 
as well as the ‘‘ Year Book of Scientific and Learned Societies 
for 190r.”’ The other additions are the volumes of natural 
history magazines purchased by the Club; a set of leaflets 
issued by the Board of Agriculture, presented by the Board ; 
a copy of the catalogue of the Driffield Museum, presented 
by the Secretary ; two numbers of the Scientific Roll, presented 
by Mr. A. Ramsay; the Bradford Report of the British As- 
sociation ; a volume of the Quekett Club Journal, and other 
publications received in exchange. 
Miscellaneous.—Since our last annual meeting we have 
purchased a large table cloth for the tables, and Messrs. . 
Turner and Drinkwater have presented an excellent photo- 
graph of the Egg Climbers at Bempton Cliffs. This the 
President has kindly framed for us. Mrs. Maddock presented 
to the Club the late Canon Maddock’s extensive collection 
of dried plants, &c. Since then these have been handed over 
to the Hull Museum. 
The Hull Museum.—Of some interest to the Club is the 
fact that the Hull Museum is now in the custody of the 
Corporation, and that it is the intention it should contain 
representative collections from the East Riding of Yorkshire. 
Early this year your Secretary was appointed Curator, and 
has since devoted his time to the work there. He will depend 
to a great extent upon the members of the Club to assist 
him in completing the collections. In this connection he 
would draw attention to the address of Mr. F. W. Rudler, 
F.G.S., which was given to the Annual Conference of. Dele- 
gates from Corresponding Societies. This took place at the
