} enthusiasm amongst the Members, with the result that the 
| attendance at both the General and Sectional Meetings has 
: been above the average. 
The total number of Members at present on the 
Society’s books is as follows :— 




















Honorary Members - - - 29 
Corresponding Members - - - 18 
Ordinary Members - - - - 822 
Total - - - 869 
being an increase of 61 over last year. 
Your Committee have met fifteen times during the year 
for the transaction of the Society’s business, and all these 
meetings have been well attended by the Members and 
Sectional Officers, who have shown a keen interest in the 
work of the Society. 
There were seven Excursions held during the Session, 
as follows :—

In addition there were six Evening Field Meetings held. 
The Conversazione also proved to be a very popular 
and a very pleasant gathering of Members and their friends. 
_ Although there was no special outside attraction pro- 
_vided—the exhibits being worked entirely by our own 
_ Members—the attendance was quite up to the average. 
The Members of the Handbridge Men’s Club, accom- 
_ panied by their friends (altogether about 200), were invited 
y the President and Committee to a ‘“‘Museum Evening.” 
After an Illustrated Lecture in the Theatre, they were 
conducted through the Museums, and given light refresh- 
“ment before leaving. The Committee afterwards received 
avery hearty vote of thanks from them. 
___ With regard to the Winter Session, we think we may 
fairly claim that this has been one of the most successful
