secretary, Mr. J. E. Bedford, F.G.S., reports that during- the 

 past year very few contributions have been made to the Y. N.U.

 been found very difficult to obtain copies, owing- in a g-reat 

 measure to the lack of interest shown in g-eolog'ical work by the 

 majority of photog-raphers, and also on account of the expense
