Tue Hutt Naturat History anp Microscoprcat Society. 
Tu» Hull Natural History and Microscopical Society, formerly 
designated the Hull Micro-Philosophical Society, has thus changed 
its title, with the object of the admission of members interested 
in field pursuits as well as at the microscopical table. The title 
embraces a wide latitude of inquiry, and it is hoped that the 
change may prove an effective stimulus to increased exertion 
amongst its various members. 
At the General Meeting held on the 7th October, 1864, George 
Norman, Esq., was unanimously re-elected President, and William 
Lawton, Esq., was elected Vice-President, the latter office being 
an additional appointment, as also that of Librarian in the 
person of Mr. B. Cooke. Treasurer in that of Mr. W. H. Rust, 
and the Secretary as before, Mr. William Hendry. 
The Sixth Sessional Course for 1864-65 commenced its Meet- 
ings on Friday, October 21st, to be continued bi-monthly up to 
the 17th March, 1865. 
During the past summer the Society had their Annual Field- 
day on June 1ith, and as the weather was fine throughout, the 
day was spent in a most enjoyable manner. A special conveyance 
took the members vid Cottingham and Little Weighton to New- 
bald. From Newbald the various gentlemen constituting the 
Society, with several invited guests, walked over the beautiful 
country to Cliffe, the botanists filling their collecting boxes with 
many interesting plants, found by the way, while those whose 
studies were restricted to minute objects for the microscope filled 
their bottles with gatherings of diatoms, desmids, &c. The ento- 
mologists also were busy with their nets, and frequent were the 
excited chases after their insect prey.
