1 909- 1 9 1 o. ] A nnual Business Meeting, 277 



At the field meetings the average attendance was 32 — -a 

 figure above the average of previous years, and no doubt ac- 

 counted for by the good weather, the interest taken by the 

 leaders to make the outings interesting and instructive, and 

 the presence of our President^ at practically all the ex- 

 cursions. 



" During the year 2 1 names have been withdrawn from the 

 roll and 14 names added, giving at the close of the session a 

 total roll of 202 ordinary members — a slight reduction from 

 last year. 



"The meetings of the Microscopical Section were held at 

 the house of Mr W. C. Crawford, the Convener, whose report 

 was communicated to the Society on 27th April last. The 

 attendance was a little disappointing, but it is hoped that 

 this may be improved during the coming winter. 



" In conclusion, I should like to thank the members of the 

 Society for the way in which they have assisted me on every 

 occasion. I much appreciate their kindness and help. The 

 privilege of being their Secretary has been a great pleasure 

 to me." 



The Treasurer referred to his Statement of Income and Ex- 

 penditure for the year, already in print and in the hands of 

 members. The income for the year was £71, 15s. 2d., and 

 the expenditure £61, 17s. 5 d., showing a balance of £9, I7s. 9d.
