Hull Working Men's Naturalisfs Society : Report of 

 Second Annual Meeting. — The number of members on the 

 books at the beginning of the year was thirty, which increased 

 by the end of the year to fifty. Although the subscriptions 

 were lowered to one penny per week at the beginning of the 

 year, the financial position of the Society is good, for although 

 rent and all other expenses have been paid, including £S for 

 books, we have still a balance of £2 in hand : the total 

 income has been £S 2s. 6d., expenditure £6 Is. lOd. Twelve 

 books of more or less value have been presented to the 

 Society during the year; twelve coloured illustrations of 

 Natural History, a good number of moths and butterflies, 

 a few eggs, a good book- case, and boxes for eggs and insects, 

 have also been provided. Four gentlemen resident in the 

 town have gratuitously given lectures, and promised to do so 

 again. Fourteen members have read papers : the debates 

 after the papers have been very bad ; in fact this is our 

 weakest point. — H. Wilkinson; 2, Bell View Crescent^ 

 Londeshoi'ough Street, Hull. 



The ^ Year -Book. ^ — It is intended to publish the 'Year- 

 Book' on the 15th of this month, in accordance with the 

 usual practice.
