The Winter Session was opened on the 7th November by 

 a very successful conversazione, held in the Public Library, by 

 the kind permission of the Library Committee of the City 

 Council. 



During the Winter Session six formal meetings were held 

 and were fairly attended by members and their friends. 



The half-hour Science Gossip held before the formal meet- 

 ings proved an advantage to many members, as it affords 

 facilities for informal conversation upon Natural History subjects, 

 and objects brought for examination and discussion, an oppor- 

 tunity that might be more generally made use of.
