REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 



FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 19th, 1895. 



The annals of the Society for the past year present no 

 feature calling for particular notice. The ordinary meetings 

 have been well attended, and the various Sections have main- 

 tained the interest in the different branches to which they are- 

 devoted. 



Since our last annual meeting the Society has lost no. 

 members by death ; three however have resigned. Nine new 

 members have been enrolled, the number therefore shows a net 

 increase of six over that of last year. 



The Council have much pleasure in congratulating the 

 Society on the increased balance shown by the Treasurer's 

 Report. 



The Hon. Librarian has carefully gone through the Library, 

 amended and revised the catalogue and brought it up to date. 

 He reports that our books are in a fairly satisfactory condition. 

 The thanks of the Society are due to Mr. Davey for the great 

 attention he has given to this matter. 



A new catalogue is about to be printed, and it is hoped 

 that it will be in the hands of members before next Session. It 

 is also proposed to incorporate with it a catalogue of the micros- 

 copical slides in the Society's Cabinets. 



The Council, in order to relieve Mr. J. Colbatch Clark of 

 some of the arduous duties which he has discharged as one of the 

 Hon. Secretaries, with such advantage to the Society for the last 

 33years,have nominated Mr. Hy.Cane as Hon. Assistant Secretary. 

 Mr. Cane has been for many years in Mr. Clark's office and has 

 materially assisted him in all matters connected with the Society 

 and is familiar with all the details of its finance, &c.
