1. Miss Allen exhibited a copy of Conrad Gesner’s “ Historia 
Naturalis Animalium,”’ 1551-1587, and gave details 
of the life of Gesner.

The eighth meeting of the thirty-third session was held 
on Saturday, June 28th. A visit to Hilbre Island had been 
arranged, but owing to the inclement weather, this was 
abandoned, and, on Dr. Clubb’s invitation, the members 
proceeded to the Museum. Here they were shown the prepara- 
tions for new developments of an educational and popular 
character, and inspected the rat-breeding cages used by Mr. 
Cutmore in his experiments. 
A short business meeting was held, and, on the motion 
of the President, Mr. Hugh Rathbone was unanimously elected 
President for the ensuing session.
