Annual Report. 



Your Committee have pleasure in submitting the forty-ninth 

 Annual Report. The work accomplished during the past year 

 by your members will be found to compare favourably with that 

 done in former years ; yet some branches of Natural History 

 remain untouched in our district. 



In order that the services of fresh workers may be enlisted 

 your Committee have established a Junior Section, from which it 

 is hoped that many Field Naturalists may arise in the future. 

 During the year 36 new members were elected, of whom only 30 

 have qualified for membership. There have been 6 deaths and 

 10 resignations, leaving the total membership on 31st March, 191 2, 

 at 393- Of these 19 were Junior Members. 



At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 1 6th June, 1 9 1 1 , 

 for the purpose of making alterations in the rules of the Club, the 

 admission of Junior Members at a reduced subscription and 

 without entrance fee was authorised, and the method of nominating 

 and electing Members of Committee was changed. 



The Memorial to our late member, Samuel Alexander Stewart, 

 has been completed and erected in the City Cemetery, at a total 

 cost of £70 1 8s 6d. The list of subscribers and statement of 

 accounts in connection with this Memorial have been posted in 

 the Club Room.
