for the promotion of the study of, and encouragement 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. Astronomical Secretary. 
A General Meeting of the Society is held at the Town Hall 
(Small Hall), 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. 
Those members who are able are asked to subscribe more, as five 
shillings is not sufficient to cover expenses. 
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 
from the undersigned.
