XXXVIU ANNUAL, REPORT. 



On several evenings the whole of the time might have 

 been both profitably and agreeably spent in the examination 

 and discussion of a few out of the many specimens exhibited. 



At a sub-sectional meeting, Mr. J. E. Bagnall read a 

 paper on the genus Fissidens, illustrated by specimens. 



It is to be hoped that the facilities offered will induce 

 members to take a more active part in the proceedings, and 

 that the work of the Section will continue to increase both in 

 usefulness and importance. 



JOHN F. CtOODE, Sec. Biological Section.
