 thirty-two, five have been transferred as Seniors, seven removed 

 from the books through non-payment of subscription, whilst five 

 new members have been elected, giving a present membership of 

 twenty-five. 



Numerous excursions were held during the Summer months, 

 and a special excursion took place on New Year's Day to the 

 Windy Gap, Black Mountain. The excursions all proved of much 

 interest, but the attendance of Juniors, though better than in the 

 previous year, did not come up to expectations. 



The Winter meetings were held alternately in the afternoon 

 and evening, and have taken the form of systematic courses in 

 Botany, Zoology, and Geology, and in all twelve meetings have 

 been held. The special thanks of the Committee are due to 

 Miss M. D. Mitchell, Miss J. Stephens, Messrs. A. Deane, 

 W. J. C. Tomlinson, and R. H. Whitehouse for their kind 

 assistance in connection with the Winter meetings, their respective 

 addresses being much appreciated by the Junior members.

 with its preparation. It has been decided to confine the Journal
