TOURING the year 1914-15 there have been certain changes in 

 connection with the sections ; of these the most noteworthy 

 are as follows : — In the Archaeological and Historical Section the 

 Rev. H. Shaen Solly, M.A., succeeded the Rev. Canon T. E. 

 Usherwood in the Chairmanship. Mr. Richard Beck, F.E.S., and 

 Mr. R. Y. Banks, became Chairmen of the Entomological and 

 Photographic Sections respectively. Mr. W. Munn Rankin, 

 M.Sc, B.Sc, left the chair of the Zoological and Microscopical 

 Section to occupy that of the Geological Section, Mr. T. B. Goodall, 

 F.R.C.V.S., F.L.S., being his successor in the former position. 

 It is a matter of regret that Mr. Beck has found it necessary to 

 retire after a short tenure of his office.

 we are all now feeling. We have also been able to co-operate in 

 the work of the General Excursions which so often present features 

 which come within the scope of our Section, and it has been a 

 pleasure to take part in the arrangements which have been so 

 admirably planned for the Society by its Hon. Secretary.

 Secretary : Mr. R. V. Sherring, F.L.S. 



The Botanical Section has had a most satisfactory year, and 

 its success is chiefly due to the unwearied toil and energetic action 

 of Mr. Sherring, our indefatigable Honorary Secretary, assisted 

 by Mr. Green, to whom our thanks are due for his invaluable help. 

 Many new and rare plants have been added to the list of the flora 

 of Bournemouth and its district. The curious Spartina grass has 

 been thoroughly examined and worked up by Mr. Sherring, whose
