36 Yorkshire Naturalists' Union : Annual Report, 1909. 



Objects of the Union. — The Secretary will supply circulars 

 setting forth the objects and aims of the Union on application. 



Winter Lecture Scheme. — A revised Hst of Lectures was 

 printed, as set forth in the Annual Report for 1908. In this the 

 names of several prominent Yorkshire Naturalists appear, and 

 every advantage of this scheme has been taken by the affiliated 

 societies. In fact, some of them have gone so far as to give 

 donations to the funds of the Union in return for this privilege. 



The Affiliated Societies still show a satisfactory increase 

 in number. During the year two new societies have joined, 

 but the Milnsbridge Society is not in a position to remain connected 

 with the Union. The total number of Societies now affiliated 

 is 45- 



The Statistics supphed by the Secretaries of Societies shew 

 that the total membership of the affiliated Societies now is 3592 

 or an average of 80. Added to this, the membership of the 

 Union gives our total numerical strength as 4026. 



The Membership now stands at 434. This number does not 

 include the 45 affiliated Societies, each of which is practically a 

 member.
