accompanied by a further improvement in the quantity 
and quality of the work done for the Kingsley Memorial 
Prizes. 
To encourage still further this greatly increased in- 
terest in Natural History and Nature Study amongst the 
Junior Members, the Curator has commenced a series of 
Exhibits of British Flowers growing in the neighbourhood 
of the City, which will be continued in the Art Gallery of 
the Museum during the Summer months. 
This exhibition has already met with much success, 
and not a few of our younger members have already given 
their services towards its completion. 
It is also hoped to include Entomological and other 
exhibits bearing upon the Alora and Fauna of the district ; 
and any contributions for these exhibits will be welcomed 
by the Curator. 
The Committee see with much satisfaction, the grow- 
ing desire among our boys and girls to observe more 
closely, and to become better acquainted with, the beautiful 
and interesting field which Nature offers to their eyes, and 
which affords so much scope for the cultivation alike of 
mental and moral faculties; and they appeal to parents 
and teachers to help and encourage a movement which can 
do so much to remedy some of the worst defects of our 
modern life. 
Your Committee have met fourteen times during the 
past year, and these Meetings have been well attended by 
the members and Sectional Officers. 
Although there has during the past year been extra- 
ordinary expenditure of nearly £30, which includes the 
cost of the new Honours Boards in the Library, the 
Treasurer has been able to carry forward a small balance 
to next year’s Account, which shews that the Society’s 
finances are in a healthy condition.
