In reporting the close of the Fifth Session, the Committee, for 

 various reasons, cannot class it as an altogether successful one. 

 The weather at almost every meeting, and particularly the first five 

 or six, was exceptionally bad. In consequence, the attendance 

 this past winter has not been so good as in former sessions ; and 

 the number of members is now reduced to sixty-two, being eight 

 short of last year. 



There were ten public Lectures given, and five ordinary meetings 

 were held. 



The financial position ot the Society is not what might be 

 desired, but there is still a considerable sum in hand. 



The following are the Officers for 1884-85 :— President — John 

 Leitch, M.B., CM. Vice-Presidents — Rev. S. Hebert, m.a.; John 

 Glaister, Esq. Committee— Messrs. G. T. Carr, W. Crabb, Rev.
