IRE ZPOIR,T. 



Your Committee are pleased to be able to report the 

 continued prosperity of the Society during the year which 

 terminated on the 30th of September, 1882, and an improvement 

 in the attendance at the meetings. 



The Committee have arranged to recommence the holding 

 of Monthly Microscopical Meetings on the fourth Thursday in 

 every month, commencing on the 26th of October, and they have 

 also arranged to receive the paper edited by Mr Arthur C. Cole, 

 F.R.M.S., and published under the name of '' Studies in 

 Microscopical Science," with the mounted objects issued with it ; 

 and Mr. E. J. Petitfourt has kindly undertaken the care of the 

 papers and objects with the introduction of them at the meetings. 

 It is hoped that this arrangement will materially facilitate the 

 object of the Microscopical Meetings, and make them additionally 

 interesting. 



The Financial condition of the Society is very satisfactory, 

 there being now a balance in the hands of the Treasurer amounting 

 to ^129 ns. 8d. A statement of the Accounts for the year is 

 annexed. 



The number of Members remains about the same as last 

 year. A list of the present Members is appended to this report.
