HE HAMPSTEAD SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY was founded in 
1899 for the promotion of the study of, and encourage- 
ment of a popular interest in Astronomy, Natural 
History, Photography, and other branches of Science. 
There are at present three Special Sections of the Society— 
Astronomical, Natural History and Photographic. 
By the generous gift of Colonel Heberden, the Society 
is the possessor of a reflecting telescope of 10} inch mirror, 
which is erected in a small observatory on the East Heath, by 
permission of the London County Council. Particulars as to 
the use of the Telescope can be obtained of the Hon. Astro- 
nomical Secretary. 
A General Meeting of the Society is held at the Hampstead 
Library, Prince Arthur Road, on the first Friday in each month 
from November to May. At each meeting a paper or lecture 
of general scientific interest is given, and discussion invited. 
The chair is taken at 8.30 p.m. precisely. Meetings of the 
various Sections are also held regularly at the ‘Hampstead 
Library. 
During the summer months Out-door Meetings are 
organised. 
The minimum Subscription is Five Shillings per annum. 
Members have the privilege of being present at all 
Meetings of the Society, both General and Sectional, of having 
free access to the Telescope, and of receiving a copy of the 
Annual Report. Members may also introduce two visitors at 
any Ordinary Meeting—unless otherwise arranged by the 
Council. Membership of the Society includes Membership of 
all the Sections; full particulars of which can be obtained 
of the respective Hon. Secretaries. 
Copies of the last Report and Proceedings, with a List of 
the Members, can be obtained from the Hon. Secretary, price 
4d. each, post free. 
_ Application Forms for Membership, and further partic- 
ulars as to the general work of the Society can be obtained
