Two Winter evening meetings have been held, viz. : — "The 

 Study of Birds' Eggs" and "The Science of the Sea." The 

 former was given in the Museum, by the Secretary of the Section, 

 and the latter was held in the Natural History Theatre of Queen's 

 University, the address being given by Mr. J. Erik Hamilton. 



Botanical and Zoological enigmas were given at the Summer 

 excursions, much interest being shown in these by the members 

 and keen competition displayed. The enigma forms a distinctly 

 new departure in the Junior Section, as far as this Club is con- 

 cerned, and it is hoped to continue the scheme throughout the 

 coming Summer. Two prizes have been awarded in connection 

 with the enigma competition, details of which will be found in the 

 Report of the Prizes Sub-Committee.

Report of the Prizes Subcommittee. 



No Papers have been received this year in connection with 

 any of the prizes offered by the Club, and the only competition to 

 adjudicate upon is the Enigma Competitions for Junior Members, 

 for which two prizes were offered. A feature of this competition 

 was the keenness and initiative shown by individual members, 

 which cannot be adequately described but only understood from 

 personal observation. 



This Sub-Committee, consisting of members of the Junior 

 Section Committee, beg to recommend that the First Prize of 

 ten shillings, offered by Mr. A. Deane, be awarded to Master 

 John Deane, and the Second Prize of five shillings, offered by Mr. 

 J. A. S. Stendall, be awarded to Miss Norah Humphreys.
