On March the 8th " A Special Exhibition Meeting " was 

 held, when many interesting objects and specimens were shown ; 

 but your Council regret that the attendance did not warrant a 

 continuation of them, as originally intended. 



The Gossips have been generally successful. The Curator has 

 regularly attended and displayed living objects forwarded by Mr. 

 Thomas Bolton, of Birmingham. 



The Library has been reorganized on a new basis, whereby 

 many valuable works have been presented to the Society, and 

 others have been lent for periods of three, six, or twelve months. 



The Museum is also going forward, several donations having 

 been made. 



On occasions when weather permitted the several Excursions 

 have been satisfactorily attended, and many objects of interest 

 collected. 



The Society has been well represented at the Soirees as follows : — 



1879. 



Nov. 24. Croydon Microscopical and Natural History Club. 



Dec. 3. Greenwich Microscopical and Natural History Society. 



1880.
