The success which attended the recent Exhibition of 
Photographs was very gratifying, and it is to be hoped 
that the Members of the Photographic Section will arrange 
for similar Exhibitions to be held during the coming year. 
Your Committee desire also to draw attention to the 
fact that, in conjunction with the Archzological Society, 
they have, with the sanction of the Management Committee, 
undertaken the enterprise of fitting up the large room on the 
right of the entrance as a Library for the accommodation 
of the Books belonging to the two Societies, and as a 
Reading Room to which Members desiring to consult books 
or periodicals may resort. They hope to be able to do this 
without drawing to any large extent on the current revenue 
of the Society. A: substantial portion of what is needed 
has already been promised, and a Subscription List will 
shortly be sent to all Members of the Society. 
They would also like to call attention to the Society’s 
Museum, which represents a very large and important part 
of the Society’s work. Slowly but surely, as the Curator’s 
Report will show, it is becoming an even more worthy and 
adequate representation of the Natural History of the 
District—an indispensable adjunct, not only to the 
Naturalist and Collector, but to that general Nature-study 
towards which a good deal of educational attention is now 
being directed. They feel that more might be done, not 
only in adding to its specimens, but in making its existence 
and value more widely known. In this way, one of the 
most real and deserving of the objects of the Society would 
find a fuller realization. 
Your Committee has met fourteen times during the 
year for the transaction of the Society’s business, and these 
Meetings have been very fully attended.
