new ground, fell through owing to lack of numbers. The mem- 
bers of the Section have been most kindly entertained at 
excursions during the year by Dr. E. C. Stirling, F.R.S., &c., and 
Messrs. T. D. Smeaton, J.P., and J. H. Symon, Q.C. 
Protection of our Native Fauna and Flora.—A separate report 
from the Native Fauna and Flora Protection Committee states 
what has been done in this direction during the past year. 
Proceedings.—It has been found impracticable as yet to issue 
the ‘‘ Proceedings” of the last two and the current years, but it is 
hoped that ere long the continuity of our printed transactions 
will be restored. 
Financial.—From the accompanying statement of accounts it 
will be seen that the amount received from subscriptions has been 
greater than last year, and that the expenditure, chiefly through 
the expenses of the conversazione (October, 1894), coming into 
the current financial year have also been larger. In other re- 
spects the work of the Section has been carried on with due 
regard to economy. 
Membership.—There have been twelve admissions to the Section 
during the year, whilst fifteen names have been removed from 
various causes, the number now on the roll being eighty-seven.
