was thought advisable to arrange that the alternate fortnightly 

 evenings should be devoted to the Natural History Society and 

 this Club, respectively, and that the meetings of both societies 

 should be open to all the members of each. The Committee now 

 recommend that their successors should try this arrangement next 

 session. 



The Committee desire to record their thanks to Mr. Shakspeare 

 Wood, of Eome, and Mr. Lewis G. Mills, LL.B., of Armagh, for 

 coming from a distance to read Papers before the Society. The 

 Committee also desire to express their obligations to the Natural 

 History Society for the continued use of the Museum, and for their 

 manifest desire to co-operate with this Society in the furtherance 

 of their respective objects. 



After the adoption of the above Eeport, the Kules of the 

 Society were discussed, and considerably altered, and the Officers 

 for the next year were elected. Foui-teen new members were 

 elected — Professor James Thomson, Queen's College, being elected 

 President, and John Anderson, Esq., F.G.S., Vice-President, 

 Messrs. Gray and Robinson, Secretaries, and W. H. Phillips, 

 Treasurer. 



WILLIAM GRAY, 



Hon. Secretary.
