 Mr. E. Dodshon. 



Physical Section. 



July 7. — Broadstone Lavender Works, by Mr. Hubert Painter, B.Sc, 

 F.C.S., and Mr. Hy. Le Jeune. 



The Lectures held during the Winter Session were fully up 

 to their usual high level. 



Among the Sectional Lectures was a series treating of Lime 

 from the Physical, Geological, Geographical, and Botanical 

 aspects, followed by a General Lecture on its application in the 

 Arts and Industries, and it has been proposed to adopt this plan 

 in the coming session in connection with some other kindred 

 subject. 



At the last Annual Meeting Sir Daniel Morris, K.C.M.G. , 

 J. P., M.A., etc., was unanimously re-elected President, and gave 

 his Presidential Address on November 14th. 



It is a pleasure to add that he has kindly consented to be 

 nominated as President for the coming year. 



The Mayor and Corporation have invited the British Associa- 

 tion to hold their meeting in Bournemouth in 1917, and a strong 

 deputation went to Manchester, where the meeting was held this 

 year. Sir Daniel Morris attended as delegate from this Society 

 and Dr. S. McCalmont Hill, one of our Vice-Presidents, joined 

 with him in strengthening our representation. 



The General Committee accepted the invitation unanimously 

 and with great cordiality. 



The Society has suffered the loss by death of Dr. Richard 

 Shillitoe, who was a zealous and valued worker in the Botanical 

 Section, and for a short time previous to his death had occupied 

 the position of Secretary to the Zoological Section. 



The Council also regrets the loss by death of Mr. Geo. Ashby. 

 Mr. C. C. Philpott, Mr. A. H. Searle, late Mayor of Christchurch, 

 and the Rev. Geo. Thompson, M.A., who left to the town his 

 Geological Collection. 



The Council further regrets that Mr. George de Castro, 

 M.R.C.S., who has been Chairman of the Geographical Section 

 since 1910, is unable through ill health to continue in that office, 

 and desires to express its thanks to him for his valued services. 



By the appointment of Mr. Thos. Capper, M.A., B.Sc, as 

 Joint Hon. Secretary, the Society has secured a valued member 

 of the Council. 1 



The Council desires to express its thanks for, and appreciation 

 of, the kind services of Mr. W. Parkinson Curtis and his brother, 

 Mr. E. Harker Curtis, who are arranging the collection of Birds' 

 Nests and Eggs, made by the late Dr. Batley, which was pur- 

 chased by the Society last year.
