Both Papers were well illustrated with Lantern Slides 

 (Mr. McMichael's being also illustrated with experiments), 

 and were of a verj' interesting character. The Meetings 

 were ver^' fairly attended. 



The Lecture on "Horseless Carriages" (February loth), 

 by Mr. E. Shrapnell Smith, was also given on a night 

 belonging to this Section, but should perhaps be considered 

 a General Meeting.

PHOTOGRAPHIC. 



Although the Photographic Section as such has only 

 been able to hold three Meetings during the Session, 

 the Meetings of the parent Society have been of such a 

 character as to make the Session .897-8 in a great measure 

 a photographer's session. At the Annual Conversazione 

 the Section had an exhibition of members work, and 

 the Kromscop (Mr. Ive's method of Colour Photography) 

 was shown and explained. The exhibition of Animated 

 Photography by Mr. Siddai^l was an attractive feature 

 of the Conversazione. The Photochronioscope (Mr. Ives 

 instrument for throwing his colour photographs on the 

 c een as lantern slides), has also been exhibited together 

 with Professor Joly's method of photography m the 

 rolourrofnature' It will thus be seen that the Members 

 of the Section have had unique opportunity to become 

 acquainted with the latest developments of the photographic 

 art The Section has also, by invitation, contributed to the 

 Sportant Photographic Exhibition recently held in Man^^ 

 Chester, the work comparing ver>^ favourably with that ot 

 other Societies.
