has yet been taken towards forming a complete record of tlie 

 Flora and Fauna of the district in which our work lies. 

 "With our present distribution of members they feel it re- 

 quires but little energ-y on the part of individual members, lo 

 get up a complete record of the Fauna and Flora, of that 

 part of Kent east of a line drawn from 8ittingbourne through 

 Ashford to the coast by Hythe. At least they hope mem- 

 bers will make a beginning this year, and that by 

 the time of the second evening meeting in November, many 

 members will be ready to hand in lists of the Flora or Fauna 

 of some districts however small, a part of the whole. It is 

 ])roposed to hang the ordnance map of the County in the 

 Society's room, on which the districts can be marked off as 

 completed, nor need members be debarred from the attempt 

 by the apparent magnitude of the work, for it is one of which 

 they will find the pleasure will grow with the performance, 

 while the delight of the country walk or sea side ramble will 

 be "-reatlv enhanced by the habit of observation that even this 

 attempt will so greatly encourage. To carry this out your Com- 

 mittee invite members to send in their names stating at the 

 the same time the district and the branch of the science 

 they propose to work in. 



Your Committee cannot separate without expressing a hope 

 that as the Society has now arrived at a position of stability 

 its transactions should be printed and a copy delivered to each 

 member, for your Committee feel it not only due to your 

 Society, but to science at large, that such valuable papers as 

 those read by the Rev. J. B. Reade and others should be 

 made "-enerally known, and it is hoped that some members 

 will illustrate their papers for the benefit of the Society.
