 PHOTOGRAPHIC. 



By the desire of the Committee of the Natural Science 

 Society, the Photographic Section devoted the Session 

 of 1895-6 to a Course of Free Popular Lectures on Photo- 

 graphy. The Lectures were delivered in the Theatre of 

 the Grosvenor Museum, and were well attended. It is 

 hoped that the interest created and the information 

 imparted may lead to a considerable accession to the 

 membership of the Section, and to the promotion of the 

 Photographic Art in the city and neighbourhood. The 

 Section desires to acknowledge its indebtedness to the 

 gentlemen who, at considerable trouble and expense to 

 themselves, willingly gave their services in this behalf.
