A Field Meeting was held at Barnston, on June 24th, 1905. 

 The meeting was well attended, and many good specimens 

 were secured. 



The Lantern Suh-Committee have rendered excellent 

 service to the Society by making all necessary arrangements 

 connected therewith. 



A Sub-Committee has been appointed to revise the 

 Society's collection of slides, and they are at present busy 

 with the work, which, when completed, will, it is hoped, make 

 the collection more readily available and more useful. 



With a view to affording visitors increased facilities of 

 attendance at the ordinary meetings Rule 18 was altered at a 

 specially convened meeting, to read as follows: — " Members 

 shall have the privilege of introducing vi-itors at the ordinary 

 meetings and are requested to enter their names in the 

 visitors' book." 



The number of slides that may be taken at one time 

 from the cabinet is now twenty-four, instead of twelve as 

 heretofore. 



Hoping to increase the value of the Annual Report, the 

 Council have decided to publish therein all such papers 

 prepared by the members as shall be deemed of sufficient 

 general interest. Two Papers, in addition to the Presidential 

 address, have been chosen — one by Dr. John Hay, entitled 

 " Abnormal Variations in the Corpuscular Elements of 

 THE Blood; " the other by Mr. W. T. Havdon, entitled " Germ- 

 Cells, WITH Special Reference to the Recent Researches 

 OF Dr. John Beard." The Presidential address, entitled 

 " The Draughtsman's Art in Relation to Biological 

 Science," was printed in the last Annual Report ; the other two 

 papers are printed herewith. 



The following additions have been made to the Library. 

 By Presentation :- -Publications from the Royal Microscopical 

 Society, the Quekett Club, and the Manchester Microscopical 

 Society. These have been duly aclvnowledged.
