The Committee, in presenting the fifteenth Annual Report, have 

 much pleasure in announcing the past Session has been one of the 

 most successful of the Association. 



The number of Members has increased from 280 to 336 — 87 of 

 whom are Associates. 



The financial position of the Association is satisfactory, as the 

 balance of ;^3i odd due to the Treasurer has been reduced to 

 ;!^i9 odd, and the Subscriptions have been reduced to within 

 about ;^i5. 



The Session was commenced with a Conversazione, which was 

 as popular as those of past years. v 



Ten ordinary lectures have been given, and one special one by 

 Professor Seeley, F.R.S., F.G.S., &c., on "Crocodiles, their Pro- 

 genitors and Allies." The whole of the lectures have been well 

 attended. 



The Library now numbers 266 volumes, exclusive of Patent 

 Specifications, Magazines, and Periodicals. 



The Science Classes are again conducted by Mr. Freeman and 

 his staff, but the number of students have not been so large as last 

 Session. Several additions have been made to the Museum, and 

 the Committee would be glad to receive further gifts from the 

 Members and their friends. 



Zoological Classes have been held, but they were poorly 

 attended.
