REPORT OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION, 
1893-94. 
Chaiyman: R. CHURCHILL, Esg. 
The Session was inaugurated by a lantern-slide competition; a 
prize being awarded for the best set of six slides made by a member 
of the Section. Some very fine slides were sent in for competition, 
and were exhibited at the Annual General Meeting of the Society, 
the slides sent in by Mr. J. G. Wells being judged the best. 
Four meetings have been held during the Session, with an average 
attendance of seven members. 
A practical demonstration of re-touching was given before the 
Section by Mr. Wells, and a demonstration of reduction of nega- 
tives and removal of silver stains was given by Mr. Russell.

REPORT OF THE BOTANICAL AND MICROSCOPICAL 
SECTION, 1893-94. 
Chairman: P. B. Mason, Esg. 
Four meetings were held during the Session, all of which were 
fairly well attended. The November meeting was devoted to the 
exhibition of specimens recently collected, and the December meet- 
ing to the inspection of a large and splendid collection of plants from 
the shores of the Mediterranean made by Mr. and Mrs. Horace 
T. Brown. In February, Mr. J. G. Wells read ‘‘ Some notes on the 
Uvedineg,” and exhibited several specimens of the order collected in 
the neighbourhood. At the April meeting, Mr. J. E. Nowers read 
a paper on “The British Chavacee,” which was illustrated by 
several specimens and lantern slides. 
From various causes, but little progress has been made with the 
Flora of the District. 
James G. WELLS, 
Hon. Sec. of Section.
