 March.

It was a matter of deep regret that only five Somerville 

 Lectures were given. The cause of this was that 

 Mr. Percival St. George, C.E., who liad agreed to deliver 

 the sixth lecture of the Coarse, was suddenly called to 

 England, owing to the serious illness of a relative, before 

 the date of his lecture arrived. Your Committee strove 

 hard to find a substitute, but were unsuccessful. Those 

 that were given were of a higli ordsr and full of interest. 

 The best thanks of the Society are due to these gentlemei:, 

 and should be conveyed through tlie proper channel. 



The Talks on Natural History subjects were deli\'ered 

 on Saturday afternoons by the following gentlemen:
