Our Public Lectures and Ordinary Meetings have been well 

 attended during this, our first Session ; and, as a Committee, we 

 have reason to congratulate ourselves on the success that has 

 attended the formation of our Society. 



The number of members is now about 150. On Easter Monday, 

 April roth, 1882, the first Field Excursion was made. The party 

 met at Appleby Station, and started thence for Helton Beck and 

 Keisley, under the guidance of Mr. Goodchild as Geologist, and 

 Mr. Hodgson of Watermillock as Botanist. We were also accom- 

 panied by Mr. Marr, and for some time by Professor Hughes of 

 Cambridge. 



The best thanks of the Committee are due to Mr. T. V. 

 Holmes, F.G.S., for a valuable present of Books, forming as it 

 does the nucleus of our proposed reference library.
