The two exhibitions of Prize Slides from the " Amateur 

 Photographer" and " Photography and Focus" were very much 

 appreciated by the members, and the lecture by Mr. Chas. Riddle 

 on "Bournemouth, Past and Present" gave a healthy impetus 

 to the Society's endeavour to get records of all that is interesting 

 in the district covered by the Society's map. Mr. Dodshon's 

 lecture on "The Photography of Trees" was useful and instruc- 

 tive. The Chairman's contribution, in conjunction with the 

 Archaeological Section, was a lecture on the " Art Treasures of 

 Italy." The excursion to the Blue Lakes, at which Mr. Brumell 

 secured a picture which was successful in gaining a prize in the 

 competition held in November, 1917, is referred to on another 

 page.

Of the six lectures given during the Session, four dealt with 

 some important article of human consumption such as Bread, 

 Salt or Sugar. Salt was suggested to the Chairman as a promis- 

 ing lecture subject by Mr. Le Jeune, whose death is a truly heavy 

 loss to the Section and the whole Society. Mr. Le Jeune made 

 stands for the Velocity of Sound apparatus shown at the last 

 lecture of the Session and acted as Conductor of the Excursion of 

 August 15th ; the arrangements for which had been largely made 

 by him. Elsewhere in this volume is a fuller tribute to his 

 memory.

On December 7th, 1916, a Lantern Demonstration was 

 given by the Chairman of the Section on a selection from the 

 Bird slides in the Batley Collection belonging to the Society, in 

 which an endeavour was made to bring before the members some 

 idea of the value and beauty of their property. 



On February loth a very successful microscopical meeting 

 was carried through by Mr. Wells, the Secretary of the Section, 

 and Mr. Taylor, several slides being shown and explained.
