Io 
his thanks to Mr. J. B. Feripr1ne for living ova of the salmon; and to 
MASTER FRANK SIMPSON for the loan of embryo specimens of the common 
frog. The children took a keen interest in the development of the embryo 
salmon, the latter being successfully reared to the stage a little beyond the 
period when the yolk sac became absorbed. The micrescope was used to 
show the circulation of the blood in the young salmon; and the oxyhydrogen 
lantern was used to illustrate certain phases in the habits of our British Bats, 
by photographs taken from life. 
Your Curator has (jointly with Mr. W. SHONE) made three short 
expeditions to various parts of the Society’s district, to make a series of 
photographs illustrative of some phases in land-sinkage, &c.; the cost of 
these expeditions being defrayed by Mr. Shone.
