Annual Report of the Council of the Microscopical 

 and Natural History Section. 



The Council have much pleasure in stating that the 

 Session 1897-98 has been an exceedingly successful one, a large 

 number of very interesting and valuable papers and exhibits 

 having been brought to the meetings. 



Several new Associates have been elected, who have added 

 great strength to the Section, and have made valuable con- 

 tributions to the proceedings, whilst, on the other hand, no 

 resignations have been received. 



The papers and exhibits brought to the meetings have 

 generally been more than there was time to read and examine, the 

 principal contributions being by the President, Messrs. 

 Melvill, Bailey, Cameron, Butterworth, Sykes, Rogers, 

 Hyde, Allen, and Broadbent. 



With the increase in the number of Associates your Council 

 have every reason to look forward to the next session with 

 confidence.
