These Lectures have all been very interesting and well 
attended. We had a great treat in hearing HENRY SEEBOHM, 
the distinguished Ornithologist, whose books are so graphic 
and full of novel experiences that they richly reward the 
reader. 
All the Lecturers this Session have been new to our Society, 
with the exception of Mr. Fisu, who I am glad to say has 
come to reside amongst us. He has given us some excellent 
Papers in former years, and his admirable Lectures on ‘“‘ The 
Birth and Growth of Science” and “Its Modern Development” 
were listened to with great interest.
