Forest ; a report of which, drawn up by Mr. Wonfor, 

 and illustrated with a sketch presented by Mr. Penley, 

 lies upon the table. 



The average attendance at the monthly meetings has 

 considerably exceeded that of our first year, proving 

 that the interest in the Society is not of an Ephemeral 

 charact er. 



Your Committee have to record the following dona- 

 tions : — Hawkins on the " Ichthyosauri and Plesiosauri,'" 

 from B. Vallence, Esq.; Wood's " Crag 3follusca," from 

 W. HoUis, Esq.; preparation of a Double Chick, from 

 G. Willis, Esq; and three sketches, made during the ex- 

 cursion, from A. Bigge, Esq.; and would take this oppor- 

 tunity of earnestly requesting its members to lend or 

 present, for the purpose of forming the nucleus of a 

 library, duplicate copies, or any other works on the 

 subject of Natural History, and its collateral branches, 

 which they are not in the immediate want of. 



The 3rd, 4th, and 5th numbers of the Quarterly Journal 

 of Microscopical Science being out of print, your Com- 

 mittee would feel obliged to any member who could 

 procure them for the Society.
