objects of interest. A lai'ge number of our members 

 exhibited under the microscopes slides of a varied and useful 

 character. 



A number of instruments and a variety of apparatus 

 were shown by Messrs. Thos. Armstrong & Brother and 

 Flatters & Garnett, Ltd. 



A very successful and enjoyable Field Meeting was held 

 on June 12th. Under the able leadership of Mr. Wm. 

 Narramore, F.L.S., a large number of members visited 

 several ponds at Bromborough, and numerous interesting 

 objects were collected. 



The evenings devoted to demonstrations continue to be 

 vei-y popular, and much useful information on preparation 

 of material and mounting of specimens is derived from them. 



During the past year four new members have been 

 enrolled, and three have resigned. 



The present membership consists of five Honorary and 

 fifty Ordinarj' Members. 



The Society has sustained a great loss by the death 

 of the Rev. Dr. Dallinger, F.R.S., who was one of our 

 earliest Presidents and for a long period took a very active 

 interest in the Society. After his removal from this district 

 he was made an Honorai-y Member, and remained so until 

 his death. 



The entrance fee has been abolished, and the Council 

 hope that this will encourage the proposal of new members.
