Vlll. LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



REPORT of the COUNCIL. 



During the Session 1920-21 there have been seven ordinary 

 evening meetings. The annual excursion was held on June 

 18th, when a visit was paid to the Grrosvenor Museum at 

 Chester, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent. 



The communications made to the Society at the ordinary 

 meetings have been representative of many branches of Biology, 

 and the various exhibitions and demonstrations thereon have 

 been of the utmost interest and value. 



The form of the meeting on March 14th was somewhat of 

 a new departure. The President received the members and 

 a number of guests in the Zoology department, which, together 

 with the Geology and Oceanography departments, was thrown 

 open to inspection. 



On May 6th, Prof. J. B. Farmer, F.R.S., D.Sc, of the 

 Imperial College of Science had intended to address the Society, 

 but was prevented by indisposition from doing so. It is hoped 

 that he will be able to be present at one of the meetings of 

 next session. 



The Library continues to make satisfactory progress, and 

 additional important exchanges have been arranged. 



The Treasurer's statement and balance sheet are appended. 



The members at present on the roll are as follows : — 



Ordinary members ... ... ... ... ... 48 



Associate members ... ... ... 12 



Student members, including Students' Section, about 30 



Total 90
