The average attendance at the excursions was fair, only one 

 — Salt Mines — being too large to work properly. The attend- 

 ance at the winter meetings was good. A Public Lecture under 

 the auspices of the Club was given by Professor Cole, in the 

 Grosvenor Hall, on 29th March, under the chairmanship of the 

 Lord Mayor, when there was a very large attendance. This 

 lecture was followed by a week's geological work in the field, 

 with lectures. The reports of the different sections will be 

 found in the report of the Annual Meeting. 



Your Committee would again press upon the members the 

 absolute desirability of each of them undertaking some indi- 

 vidual work. The Club work can only be carried on with 

 scientific credit by active workers and not a plethora of mere 

 members. 



The best thanks of the Club are due to the Railway Com- 

 panies for the facilities of travel afforded to the members, to the 

 Press for their lengthened reports of the Club's proceedings, and 

 to all others who have extended a helping hand for the carrying 

 on of the Club's work.
