ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ASTRONOMICAL SECTION. 
For 1904-5 Session. E. H. DAaRuine, Sec. 
_ The year 1904-5 has been one of success and prosperity for 
the section. ‘To its membership have been added the names of 
several prominent citizens of Hamilton and one member from Mea- 
ford, Ont. (the Vice-President of the Meaford Astronomical Soci- 
ety), bringing the total number to 55, including two honorary 
members. The attendance on the whole has been good, frequent- 
ly over-taxing the capacity of the hall, and a long list of papers 
and lectures given before the Society have been interesting and 
instructive. 
The following is the programme for the session just closing, 
and it is a source of satisfaction to note that of the thirteen lec- 
tures, ten were given by members of the Society.
