Annual General Meeting. 
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 
FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 14ru, 1893. 
The Council has much pleasure in bringing before the notice 
of the Society the record of the work done and the progress made 
during the past Session. The valuable papers read at the 
Ordinary Meetings of the Society have been of more than usual 
excellence, and the Council only regrets that the audience 
assembled to listen to them has not been always in proportion 
to their merits. 
The interest manifested last year in the work of the Photo- 
graphic Section, then first established, has been well maintained, 
and the members have commenced a photographic survey of the 
County in which objects of interest both from an archeological 
and geological point of view are included. The views thus taken 
will form an interesting record and will become the property of 
the Society. 
The Council regrets, however, to record the retirement of 
Mr. Walter Harrison from the Secretaryship of the Section in 
the successful formation of which he has borne so large a part. 
The President of the Society, notwithstanding the many calls on 
his time and attention inseparable from his office, has continued 
the admirable series of demonstrations to the members of the 
Microscopical Section alluded to in our last Report. The 
Botanical Section has during the last official year been fully 
organized. Many of its meetings and excursions have been well 
attended, and it has taken on itself the onerous work of a 
Botanical survey of the country within twelve miles of Brighton. 
The Town Council having generously placed at the disposal of
