The Glasgow Society of Field Naturalists was established in May 

 1871, for the advancement and cultivation of the study of the various 

 branches of Natural History ; for furthering original biological reseai'ch 

 among its members ; for the elucidation of the Natural History of 

 Clydesdale, more especially of the obscurer branches of Botany and 

 Zoology ; and fur the spreading of a love for the study of Nature among 

 the community. The means adopted for the promotion of these objects 

 are (1), Meetings for the Exhibition of Specimens and the Reading of 

 Papers ; (2), Excursions to places of interest in the vicinity of Glasgow; 

 and (3), by the formation of Typical Collections of the Smaller forms 

 of life.
