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. 
The Society is an “Associated Society” of the British 
Association for the Advancement of Science. 
A General Meeting of the Society is held 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 precisely. Meetings of 
the Astronomical Section take place from time to time as they 
can be arranged. The Natural History Section meets on the 
second Friday in each month, and the Photographic Section twice 
a month. 
The first General Meeting takes the form of a Conversazione 
at the Town Hall. Other meetings are generally held at the Hamp- 
stead Subscription Library, Prince Arthur Road. 
During the summer months Out-door Meetings are organised. 
The Society possesses a small Astronomical Observatory and 
a Meteorological Station on the Reservoir near the Whitestone 
Pond. 
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, 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. 
Application Forms for Membership, and further particu - 
lars as to the general work of the Society, can be obtained 
from the undersigned.
