FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
OwiIncG to the continuance of the War the transactions of 
the past year have not been carried on under normal conditions, 
and the Society has in several ways suffered thereby. Under 
the present prevailing conditions, it was decided to hold the 
Annual Conversazione in the Grosvenor Museum as last year, 
and this function was well attended by members and friends. 
In addition to the usual display of Microscopes and other 
scientific exhibits, occasion was taken to present the Kingsley 
Memorial Medal to Dr. Jackson, and the Prizes and Certificates 
awarded from the Kingsley Memorial and Legacies Funds were 
also presented to the successful competitors in the Nature Study 
Competitions. It was thought well to curtail the usual list of 
Excursions and Field Meetings, and only six of these were held, 
the principal one being the Annual Excursion to Overton-on- 
Dee and the Dee Valley, in which over 100 members participated. 
The following is a complete list :—
