ing staff at Stoneyford, for the manner in which the Club were 

 conducted over the works in operation there ; also Lord 

 Deramore for kindly granting permission to enter the extensive 

 grounds of Belvoir Park. 



Your Committee continue to exchange your published 

 proceedings for those of kindred societies, and they beg to 

 express their thanks to the United States Government for the 

 valuable publications received from time to time from various 

 state scientific departments. 



The following is the report of the Judges appointed to 

 examine the collections sent in by members in competition for 

 the Club's Prizes : — 



"We have carefully examined the several collections sub- 

 mitted in competition for the Club's Prizes, and regret that 

 they are not so numerous as on former occasions. 



We award No. 9 Prize, for Liassic Fossils, to Mr. Daniel 

 M'Kee, whose collection contains a few very good specimens ; 

 we think, however, that they have not been mounted as 

 carefully as would be desired. 



We regret that we cannot award Mr. M'Kee Prize 20 for 

 his collection of Microscopical Slides, which is excellent in 

 many respects, but does not strictly conform to the terms of 

 competition. 



We have no hesitation in awarding Mr. J. J. Andrew 

 Prize No. 21 for Microscopic Slides showing general excellence. 

 His collection contains some very difficult subjects, and all are 

 carefully prepared and beautifully mounted. 



William Gray 

 Joseph Wright.
