Although the records of the Society during the past year do 
not present any feature of great interest there is one event which 
he Council cannot entirely pass over without remark. That 
vent is the dinner which took place at Markwell’s Hotel, on the

Society have been fairly well attended, though the Council would 
most earnestly wish that a larger number of members could be 
induced to take an active interest in the work of the Society. It 
is not too much to say that the papers read have been above the 
average in point of ability. Several, however, have been con- 
tributed by non-members. The meetings of the Society and the 
communications made to it have been as follows :—1888, October - 
10th, Inaugural address by the President (Mr. J. E. Haselwood), 
Twenty Years of the Society’s History ; November 14th, Colour
