Vlll. LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



REPORT of the COUNCIL. 



During the Session 1907-1908, there have been seven 

 ordinary meetings and one field meeting of the Society. 

 The latter was held in conjunction with the Manchester 

 University Biological Society, the Liverpool Geological 

 Society and others. 



By the death of Mr. T. C. Ryley the Society has 

 lost one of its oldest members, and one who, from the 

 year of his election, took an active interest in the 

 affairs of the Society, both as a member of the 

 Council and latterly as the Honorary Treasurer, which 

 position he occupied for a period of ten years. The 

 Council desires to record its appreciation of his services, 

 and of the great loss sustained by his death. 



The communications made to the Society at the 

 ordinary meetings have been representative of almost all 

 branches of Biology, and the various exhibitions and 

 demonstrations thereon have been of great interest. 



By invitation of the Council, Prof. R. II". Yapp, M.A., 

 of the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, lectured before 

 the Society, at the May Meeting, on kk The Vegetation of 

 the Fenland." 



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 : —
