ACCOMMODATIOX. 



On the removal of the Department of Public- liislruclion to 

 their new ofhcesi, the Honourable J. Donaldson. (Minister for 

 Education), was kind enough to again place a roona at the disposal 

 of the Society, but it being found totally unsuitable for the 

 objects of the Society, the Council accepted the kind offer of the 

 Pharmacy Board, to have the use of their rooms for meetings. 

 It is, however hoped that, the Grovernment will, at some future 

 date, render to the Society similar concessions, as regards suitable 

 accommodation, as that granted to kindred societies, both at home 

 and in the neiglibouring cohmies. 



Sections. 



On a requisition signed by Messrs. Shirley, Hedley, and 

 Corrie. the Council's approval was granted for the establishment 

 of a microscopical section ; and it is the fervent wish of the Coun- 

 cil to see this, as well as other secti(ms, become important factors- 

 in furthering the Society's objects. 



OrDIXAET MeEIINU of ME\rBEKS. 



The Council are much gratified at being able tt) report that 

 the attendance of members, at the ordinary monthly meetings, 

 has been considerably increased. Doubtless, a variety in the 

 evening's programme is in some way accountable for this fact. 

 Eight monthly meetings have taken place, the attendances being 

 as follows : —
