ANNUAL REPORT. 
Iv is with pleasure that your Committee present the Seventh 
Annual Report of “The Chester Society of Natural Science,” as 
in reviewing the past year they trace steady progress, and no 
diminution of prosperity or of interest in the work for which the 
Society was established. 
The number of Members now on the books is 618. Since 
the last Annual Meeting we have elected 78 Ordinary Members. 
We have lost by death and removal 70 Ordinary Members. 
Your Committee have, during the past year, completed all 
arrangements with regard to the Kingsley Memorial; and at the 
last Annual Conversazioné the subjects for the prizes for the next 
three years were announced. The Kingsley Memorial Medal, 
with the Die, have been received from Mr. Brrr. The Society 
have had, in addition, six Bronze Medals struck, the first of 
which was presented to Mrs. Kinestry, to whom we felt it 
would be of the highest value, while, on our own part, we 
would ever desire to testify our regard and respect towards 
one who has so entirely held in sympathy and remembrance all 
work set on foot by her noble husband. Appended to this 
Report will be found both the subjects for which the prizes are 
given and the rules which regulate the conditions under which 
they are awarded ; “also an abstract of the accounts of “The 
Kingsley Memorial Fund.” 
The accounts in connection with ** The Cross Memorial Fund’ 
will also be found. ‘This Fund was set on foot to commemorate 
the untiring scientific energy of the late Mr. Cross, and has been. 
well supported by our Members.
