Annual Report, 



Your Committee have the honour to submit to you the Fiftieth 

 Annual Report. 



In the year just ended, as throughout the previous forty-nine, 

 a considerable amount of active field-work has been accomplished 

 by your members in Botany, Zoology, Geology, and Archaeology. 

 A meeting to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of your Club's 

 foundation will be held on the roth day of next month, at which 

 Delegates, representing many of the great Natural History Societies 

 of the United Kingdom, will be present. 



Your Committee rejoice that of the sixty-nine persons who 

 signed the document requesting the formation of your Club in 

 1863, six are still with us and hope to be present at the celebration 

 meeting. During the past year 35 new Members have been 

 elected, of whom 3 1 have qualified by paying the necessary fees, 

 while four former members have rejoined. Against this increase 

 of 39 your Committee regret that they have to record 3 deaths 

 and 37 resignations, while 1 1 names have been struck off the roll 

 of membership for non-payment of subscriptions, leaving the 

 membership of your Club at 381 on 31st March, 191 3.
