The following Books have been purchased during the 

 year : — Somerville'a Physical Geography, Lyell on the 

 Antiquity of Man, Carpenter's Microscope, Man's Place 

 in Nature, by Huxley, Huxley's Lectures ; and the 

 following Periodicals have also been added to the Library, 

 which now consists of 314 Tolumes, viz. :— The Zoologist, 

 Geologist, Phytologiat, Natural History Review, Intel- 

 lectual Observer, The Quarterly Journal of Microscopical 

 Science, and The Quarterly Journal of the Geological 

 Society. 



Your Committee recommend that a fresh catalogue 

 of the books in the Library be made and printed. 



The thanks of the Society are due to those Gentlemen 

 who have read Papers before the Society, and also to those 

 who have exhibited Microscopes. 



The ordinary Monthly Meetings have continued to 

 be numerously attended, and the Papers which have been 

 introduced, and the discussions upon them, have been of 

 a very interesting character.
