FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT 



OF THE 



LIVERPOOL MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY. 



January, 1920. 



SATISFACTORY progress has been made during the 

 past year. The number of members has increased, 

 and there is every reason for hoping that as soon as 

 the nation becomes more settled, and reconstruction schemes 

 begin to have the effect of removing many of the causes of 

 unrest, there will be a still greater influx of candidates for 

 membership. Although the number of resignations has been 

 greater during the year, there is a probable explanation 

 forthcoming in the difficulty of many members getting to 

 the meetings owing to restricted train service. As this is 

 not likely to continue long, we may expect that the 

 improved facilities will be followed by increased attendances. 

 Considering the inconvenience to the members who come 

 from a distance, the attendance has been very good. 



A large number of the medals struck to commemorate 

 the Jubilee of the Society have been sold, and the Council 

 would like those members who have not already applied for 

 one to do so early, as it is contemplated destroying the dies, 

 and reproductions will then be impossible. 



Three Silver Medals have been struck, of which one 

 has been presented to Mr. C. H. Hesketh-Walker and one 

 to Mr. J. T. Norman-Thomas, in recognition of their services 

 to the Society. 



The remaining one has been placed in the Society 

 Cabinet.
