Each Section has met once a month during the past 
winter : — 
In the Botanical Section, the following Members have read 
short Papers or made communications :—G. Cross, Rev. J. L. 
Beprorp, G. W. Surussorz, &e. Besides this, the Chairman, 
the Rev. J. Harris, has given us, at each Botanical Meeting, 
a systematic course of Structural Botany. 
In the Zoological Section, Papers were read by the Chairman 
(A. O. Watxer), J. Price, M.A., T. SHepHearp (contributed by 
Dr. Mvera), Dr. Dozsrz, and J. D. Srppaty. The Paper by 
Mr. Srppatt was on ‘The Foraminifera of the River Dee.” 
This Paper was one of the best and most original that has been 
read in this Section, and one that the Committee hope, at some 
future day, to print amongst the Society’s proceedings. 
In the Geological Section, Papers were read by the Chairman 
(G. W. Surussote), W. Suone, Junr., J. Price, M.A., G. Cross, 
A. O. Watxer, and D. Macxintoso, F.G.S. The most 
remarkable Paper read in this Section was by Mr. Suonz, 
on ‘*The Discovery of Foraminifera in the Boulder Clay of 
this Neighbourhood.”” Both the discovery of the shells and 
their identification reflect great credit on Mr. SHonez as an 
accurate and original investigator. This Paper, also, the 
Committee hope to publish.
