A certain demand still exists for the published series, and, as each order 

 yields a small profit, the balance of the Committee stands at 125/. 10s. Id. 

 after current expenses of mounting and storing have been paid. 



It has not been found possible hitherto to proceed with the publication 

 of the contemplated second issue, but it is proposed to begin work upon 

 it at once, and next year's Report will probably record the publication of 

 the first series. 



A selection from the first published issue has been exhibited at the 

 Science Section of the Franco-British Exhibition, and has received the 

 award of a Diploma of Honour. 



No important additions have been made to the duplicate series. 

 This series has been exhibited by Mr. Whitaker at several scientific 

 societies, including the Tunbridge Wells Natural History Society, the 

 Battersea Field Club, the Hertfordshire Natural Histoiy Society, the 

 Selborne Society (Hampstead Branch), and the Croydon Eclectic 

 Society. 



Applications by Local Societies for tlie loan of the Duplicate Collection 

 of prints or slides should be made to the Secretary. A descriptive account 

 can be lent. The carriage and the making good of any damage to slides 

 or prints are the only expenses to be borne by the borrowing society. 



The Committee recommend that they be reappointed, without a grant, 

 and that Professor J. Geikie be reappointed Chairman, and Professor 

 W. W. Watts and Professor S. H. Reynolds be appointed joint 

 Sf cretariep.
