Soppitt Memorial— Mr. T. W. Woodhead, F.L.S., the 

 Soppitt Librarian and Curator reports that the books and 

 specimens are now housed in the Museum of the Technical 

 College at Huddersfield, and are available for consultation on 

 application any day or evening by members. He has prepared 

 a card catalogue of the books and papers, and arranged 

 generally the specimens of Fungi. These are being re-inounted 

 in the manner sanctioned by the Executive, but will take some 

 time to complete. It may be added that some of the Fungo- 

 logical books from the Union's own library have been deposited 

 with the Soppitt Library, and a few books have been borrowed 

 during the year, apart from the considerable use which has 

 been made of it at the College. The framed portrait of Mr. 

 Soppitt which is now at Bradford, will shortly be transferred to 

 Huddersfield. 



The Presidency of the Union for 1903 has been offered 

 to and accepted by Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F.L. S., who for 

 years has rendered conspicuous service as honorary secretary. 



Your Executive wishes to record its appreciation of the 

 services rendered by Mr. P. F. Kendall, F.G.S., during his 

 year of office.
