The additions to our membership liave not been so numerous 

 as last year, and tbe Committee would take this opportunity of 

 urging members to induce tbeir friends to join tbe Section, and 

 thus extend its usefulness. The number now on the Eoll is 

 107. 



"We have not been quite so successful financially as last year, 

 the receipts from subscriptions having been £20 10s., while the 

 expenses amount to £22 15s. 2d. There are, however, arrears 

 which more than cover the difference. 



The Committee notice w4th pleasure the recent establishment 

 of a Boys' Naturalist Class in connection chiefly with our State- 

 schools, and trust that this attempt to popularise the study of 

 IS'atural History amongst the young in our midst will meet with 

 the success which it deserves. 



Tor the Committee, 



J. Gr. O. Teppee, Chairman.
