An exhibition of the Marine Shells of the neighbourhood, 

 collected and arranged by Mr. Belcher. 



An exhibition of Autochromes, showing wild birds in their 

 natural surrounding, by Dr. Penrose. 



Dr. Penrose demonstrated, on behalf of Mr. Goodall, a| 

 series of Mammalian skulls, which the latter gentleman, who 

 was unfortunately prevented from being present: himself, had 

 kindly lent to show various types of Dentition. 



Mr. Neale gave a short lecture on the Colour of Beetles. 



It may be legitimately claimed that the re-union was a great 

 success, and that the Sections concerned with the Biological 

 subjects, were fully represented. 



EXCURSIONS. 



There were no excursions confined to the section, but several 

 members of the Section joined in the General Excursion on the 

 walk through the Bournemouth Pleasure Gardens. After the 

 tea the Chairman of the Section gave a short address on the 

 Birds frequenting the Gardens.

 ^s&xictmion. 



At a special meeting held at the Society's Room on Saturday, 

 February 2nd, it was resolved to form a War Savings Associa- 

 tion in connection with the Society. The following officers were 

 elected — 



President— Sir Daniel Morris, K.C.M.G., J. P. 

 Chairman — Mr. Ralph Smythe, J. P. 

 Treasurer — Mr. R. Y. Banks, 

 Secretary — Mr. Herbert Malim, M.A. 



Committee — The above-mentioned and Messrs. Brumell,. 

 Grace, Lyon, Painter, de Paiva, Penrose and Rankin. 



£17 was subscribed on the spot and another £240 before 

 the end of the month. Up to the end of September ^"1,084 4s. 

 6d. was invested in War Saving Certificates and £2,065 in 

 bonds, making a total of £3, 149 4s. 6d. Of this sum £41 17s. 

 was invested by the society itself. At the close of the year the 

 Association consisted of 45 members. 



Although the war, as far as active hostilities are concerned, 

 is now over, the need for saving is as urgent as ever. It is by 

 wise economy in national, municipal and personal expenditure, 

 coupled with vigorous and well directed energy devoted to the 

 creation of fresh wealth, that the vast destruction of the war 

 can be compensated, and a new and better prosperity attained. 

 There will for a long time yet be room for this and similar sav- 

 ing associations.
