Noad Clark special thanks are due for his unwearied kind- 

 ness in presiding at the lantern, and for making all the 

 necessary arrangements for exhibitors. 



The Annual Special Exhibition of Varieties was held as 

 usual in November, and was a great success ; seventy Mem- 

 bers and friends were present, and the exhibits were exten- 

 sive and interesting. 



The Council has long been considering the advisability of 

 holding a " General Exhibition," which has not been held 

 for some years past. This they have decided to hold on 

 Saturday, March ioth, 1906, at their extensive rooms at 

 Hibernia Chambers, when it is hoped that every Member 

 will do his best to make it a success. 



Ten Papers, two Lantern Demonstrations, and extended 

 reports of the five Field Meetings have been contributed to 

 the Society, of which contributions the following Members 

 and friends were the authors : Mr. Adkin one, Mr. Kirkaldy 

 one, Mr. Tutt one, Mr. Manger one, Mr.SiCH one, Mr. 

 Arrow (of the British Museum) one, Mr. Turner two, Mr. 

 F. N. Clark one, and Mr. D. J. Scourfield (of the Royal 

 Microscopical Society) one. Five of the papers related to 

 Lepidoptera, one to the Echinodermata, one to Geology 

 (with lantern), one to Coleoptera, one on Microscopical 

 Manipulation, and one on Mendel's Law of Heredity. The 

 Council desires to tender its most hearty thanks to the 

 authors of these papers. 



In connection with the Field Meetings the Council this 

 year made a new departure. It was decided to send a 

 preliminary notice of the Field Meetings to all members and 

 at the same time to request those who wished to have 

 detailed particulars of each meeting to be sent them to write 

 the Secretary at once. This was done and about forty 

 names were given in. In this way considerable expense and 

 labour have been saved. 



Five Field Meetings were held during the summer season — 



Seal Chart, on May 27th ; conducted by Mr. Adkin. 



Reigate, on June 24th ; conducted by Dr. Chapman and 

 Mr. H. J. Turner. 



Clandon, on July 15th ; conducted by Mr. W. J. Kaye.
