Sept. gth Saighton Grange, for the House and Gardens (by kind permission 
of The Countess Grosvenor), and to Bruera Church. 
23rd—Evening Meeting at the Grosvenor Museum, to inspect the 
Collections of British Plants in bloom, as well as the 
Society’s Zoological, Entomological, and Geological Collec- 
tions, which were described by MR, ROBERT NEWSTEAD, 
Mr. A. W. Lucas, MR. J. ARKLE, MR. J. THOMPSON, 
Mr, F. Simpson, and the CURATOR (MR. ALFRED 
NEWSTEAD). 
In their last Report, the Committee appealed for more 
interest in, and a larger attendance at these Excursions. 
They are glad to report that in several cases there was 
considerable improvement, and that a larger number of 
Members availed themselves of these opportunities. The 
Annual Excursion in particular, to Caerwys, Whitford, and 
Holywell (which included a visit to the Karl of Denbigh’s 
Fisheries, &c., and to Downing Hall), was well attended, 
and in spite of very unfavourable weather, was much 
enjoyed. 
Many of the shorter Excursions give very favourable 
opportunities to younger Members for the study of the local 
Birds, Insects, and Plants, under the guidance of practical 
Field Naturalists, and of the Society’s Curator; and the 
Committee would once more express a hope that these may 
be more numerously attended. The Officers of the Society 
will be very glad to receive suggestions whereby these 
Excursions and Walks may be made more convenient and 
helpful to Members. 
The following is a complete list of the General and 
Sectional Meetings held during the Autumn and Winter 
Session :—
