The Society is greatly indebted to Mr. H. H. Port, who, 
by his manipulation of the lantern, has contributed so largely to the 
success of these meetings. 
The best thanks of the Society are due to Mr. H. Lloyd Hind, B.Sc., 
who so generously came forward to fill the office of Hon. Secretary 
raused by Mr. B. L. Oswell’s election to the Presidentship at the 
commencement of the Session. The onerous duties connected with 
the office have been most ably performed, and the Committee trust 
Mr. H. Lloyd Hind will long continue to hold the office. 
A very successful Conversazione and Exhibition of Photographs 
by the Photographic Section, and of Natural History Objects by the 
Natural History Section, was held in Boots’ Café and the Soeiety’s 
Room, on April 18th. 
The Society is again under great obligation to the Lady 
Members who so generously provided Refreshments during the 
evening, and also to the ladies and gentlemen who contributed 
exhibits or assisted in the Concerts.
