REPORT OF THE EIELD MEETINGS OF THE NATURAL 



HISTORY SOCIETY FOR 19U. 



Read 30TH March, 19 15, by Mr. J. J. Hill, 



Chairman of the Field Meetings Committee 

 IN 1914. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen, 



With the exception of the September Coast Meeting, which 

 was cancelled during the early stages of the war, the whole of 

 the Meetings indicated on the year's programme were success- 

 fully carried out. The weather, which is such an important 

 factor, was particularly kind to us, and it is pleasing for me to 

 report what I believe is something in the nature of a record, 

 namely, that at each and all of our Meetings, we were favoured 

 with excellent weather, and' without a drop of rain on any 

 occasion. 



During the season, the following ladies and gentlemen 

 attended our Meetings : — 



Mr. Richard S. Bagnall, F.E.S., F.L.S., Penshaw •
