FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. 
In accordance with the usual custom, your Committee 
have pleasure in presenting the Members with a brief 
Report of the work that has been done during the past 
year. 
The Society is now entering upon the forty-third year 
of its existence, during which time it has been a power for 
good in the City and neighbourhood. Through its various 
agencies much Scientific knowledge has been diffused, 
and its operations and the magnitude of its work have, 
we believe, far exceeded that which was anticipated by the 
revered founder, CHARLES KINGSLEY. 
There were twelve Excursions and Field Meetings 
held during the Summer Months as follows :—
