XXXI 
Report of the Photographic and Scientific Section, 
SESSION 1905-1906. 
Chairmen 
Mr. W. Howarrty, 
y. ie T. J. Puiu. 
It is not with entire satisfaction that I present the Annual Report 
of the Photographie Section of the Natural History and Archeological 
Society. Although the numerical strength has increased, and there 
is a balance on the right side, there has been a marked indication of 
apathy shewn in the small average attendance at the meetings. It is 
sincerely to be hoped that during the coming session members will 
better endeavour to support the section by their attendance, as it is 
manifestly unfair and discouraging to those members who spend 
considerable time and trouble in preparing demonstrations, ete., to 
find their labours are only appreciated by a very small number. 
The membership is 49, against 36 last year, several members 
have, however, since resigned, but it is expected more new members 
will join during the new session.
