Ordinary Meeting, February 8th, 1898. 

 James Cosmo Melvill, M.A., F.L.S., President, in the Chair. 



The thanks of the members were voted to the donors of the 

 books upon the table. 



The President nominated Mr. Frank Southern and Mr. 

 Thomas Thorp to be the auditors of the Society's accounts for 

 the present session. 



Mr. A. Brothers exhibited and described the latest form of 

 Mr. F. E. Ives' photo-chromoscope, called the "kromskop." 

 Stereoscopic photographs were shown in which the various 

 objects, when viewed through the arrangement of red, blue, and 

 green glasses, were seen in all the colours of nature — groups of 

 flowers, landscapes, &c., being thus realistically reproduced. 



Messrs. R. H. Jones, B.Sc, and J. Bower, B.Sc, read a 

 paper (communicated by Professor Dixon, F.R.S.) "On the 

 Instantaneous Pressures produced in Explosion 

 Waves," illustrated by diagrams and lantern slides, a discussion 

 followed in which Professors Dixon, Lamb, and Reynolds, 

 Dr. C. H. Lees, and Mr. R. F. Gwyther participated. 



The paper will be printed in full in the Memoirs.
