The thanks of the Society are again due to Mr. J. G. Wells, for 
the careful and competent manner in which he has looked after 
the meteorological instruments, and for the able weather report 
he compiled for the year 1892. This report was issued to 
members early in the year, but will also be attached to the annual 
report, as has always been the custom. 
It was found on several occasions last season that the 
accommodation at the Masonic Hall was not nearly commensurate 
with the needs of the members, and the Committee have there- 
fore decided to hold the monthly meetings at the Friars’ Walk 
Schools. 
Financially, the Society is still in a flourishing condition, the 
balance in hand having risen from £2: os. 7d. to £27 os. 6d., 
and there is also the sum of £0 6s. gd. to the credit of the 
Publication account. 
The Photographic and Botanical Sections of the Society have 
done good work during the year, but the Entomological Section 
has ceased to exist. The Committee hope that this section will be 
started with renewed vigour during next year. 
In accordance with Rule II., Messrs. Thrift, Wells, and Odling 
retire from the Committee, and are not eligible for re-election. 
In conclusion, your Committee are glad to be able to 
congratulate the members on the very flourishing state of the 
Society, and tender their best thanks to all who have assisted in 
placing it in its present high position in the estimation of the 
public. 
The Report and Balance Sheet were adopted on the motion of 
Mr. D. V. Anderson, seconded by Mr. J. E. Nowers. 
The Officers, Committee, and some new members were then 
elected, a vote of thanks to the Chairman bringing the meeting 
to a close.
