obtained on application to the housekeeper, at any hour of the 

 day, as well as on Tuesday nights from the librarian. They trust 

 that this plan will be approved, and the circulation of books 

 increased. It is proposed to issue a supplementary catalogue 

 shortly. 



Science Classes. 



Science classes have been carried on during the session under 

 the direction of Mr. A. Freeman, and nineteen students are under 

 instruction. The results of the session's work will not be known 

 until after the examinations in May. Tast year twenty-seven 

 students presented themselves for examination. Of these one 

 passed first class ; seventeen second class ; and nine failed. 



In concluding this report the Committee venture to express a 

 hope that the advantages offered by the Association may meet with 

 increasing appreciation on the part of the members. The Com- 

 mittee are anxious that the museum, library, lectures, and classes 

 should become more useful as a means of intellectual improvement, 

 and that the objects for which the Association was founded, namely 

 the diffusion of scientific knowledge, should be kept steadily in 

 view, as upon that its continued success mainly depends.
