For THE YEAR 1900. 
Read at the Annual Meeting, February 1st, 1907. 
THE Council has to report that the work of the Society 
has continued in a uniformly satisfactory manner 
during the past year. Thirty-nine new members have 
been elected during the year, the membership now 
standing at 300. 
The Council regrets that Mr. Edward Bond, who 
was President of the Society at its inauguration in 
1899, and during the year Ig00, has been obliged 
to resign his connection with the Society, as he has 
left Hampstead. Sir George Barham, J.P., has been 
elected a Vice-President. 
Dr. J. W. Williams, who has been Honorary Secre- 
tary of the Natural History Section since its formation 
in Ig00, and to whose energy and ability is chiefly due 
the success which has attended the work of the 
Section, resigned his position in May last, owing to 
the pressure of work. He is willing to retain his seat 
on the Council, and to give the Society—and especially 
the Natural History Section—the benefit of his active 
sympathy and help. Mr. Hugh Findon, F.L.S., has 
been appointed by the Council to the Secretaryship 
pending the Annual Meeting, in accordance with the 
power given it by Rule 4. The Council recommends 
that this appointment be confirmed at the Annual 
Meeting.
