The Kingsley Memorial Committee have again somewhat 
modified the Bye-laws under which the annual prize is offered 
to competitors. 
There has been no change in the Officers or Committee 
during the past year. A new Custodian, JosepH JonuEs, has 
been appointed in the place of Mr. Prircuarp, resigned, to 
look after the Museum and Lecture Rooms. 
In conclusion, your Committee feel that while they work 
for the general good of the Society, it is still to the great body 
of our Members that we must look for a continuance of our 
prosperity ; and while the smallness of our subscription is a 
guarantee that vitality does not depend upon the purse alone, 
we would urge on all our Members to seek out the talent which 
in a measure is confided to all; for there are none amongst us 
who do not derive enjoyment from the contemplation of the 
wonderful things in nature and science by which we are sur- 
rounded, though many of us have yet to learn the joy that 
comes of quiet study and research, the rich harvest to be 
gathered in, and the pleasant fellowship which comes of kindred 
pursuits.
