the subject. We must here mention that during the last three 

 months there has been a change in our method of giving out the 

 Notices of our Meetings. You are all aware that our Society 

 is only one of the several Societies who meet in the Grosvenor 

 Museum, and it has been thought that the labour of the 

 difPerent Secretaries might be economised if one Paper con- 

 tained all the Notices. A small Paper called "Chester 

 Societies " has therefore been started. It contains all the 

 Notices of the different Societies and such other local matter as 

 may be of interest to those connected in any way with the 

 Grosvenor Museum. Its price per annum is 2/6, and we 

 call special attention to the subject, as your Committee are 

 anxious that the plan should succeed, and that it should have 

 the support of our Members. Those, however, who are not 

 disposed to subscribe will have their Notices regularly on the 

 notice sheet portion of the Paper. 



Your Committee has met seventeen rimes during the past 

 year to carry on the executive work of the Society, and they 

 trust that what they have done will meet the approval of the 

 Members. We feel now that our Society is established in so 

 commodious a building and with a local Museum, that no effort 

 will be wanted on the part of our Members to render it as 

 complete as possible; and if all will try to do something during 

 the coming year, we may hope to place our local knowledge on 

 a firmer basis, and perhaps add in a measure some contribution 

 to general science.
