Owing to the unfavourable weather which prevailed 
during the Summer, the attendances were not quite so 
good as usual, but the interest taken in Botany, Geology, 
and Zoology, is no less keen, particularly amongst the 
Junior Members, many of whom display a keen desire for 
knowledge in those branches of Natural Science. 
In the Competitions for Nature Study work, those 
Junior Members have also done some excellent work, the 
standard of which becomes higher each year. 
The displays of representative specimens of the Native 
Flora made in the Art Gallery during the Summer and 
Autumn months, by Senior and Junior Members, have 
proved to be of great interest to Members generally as 
well as to strangers visiting the Museum. 
During the Winter Session there were ten General and 
seventeen Sectional Meetings as fo'lows :—
