ordinary form of Caprella acutifrons, Fig 3 the Bournemouth variety. 

 At Totland Bay the prevailing species is Caprella protopedata. 

 This also predominates at Salterns pier. An extremely rare species 

 Caprella erethizon, was also found at Totland. Two specimens of 

 this Caprella have recently been found at Swanage. At Swanage 

 the prevailing species is Caprella acanthifera. At Poole Quay, 

 Caprella aequilibra is to be met with in profusion, and this season 

 several of these were obtained of unusual size. Some of these were 

 sent to the British Museum, and were found to be larger than any 

 in the collection there. Two or three other Caprellae are more 

 dispersed than those which have been here described. 



Chairman : C. J. Hankinson, Esq., J. P. 



0 ^ The first meeting of the winter session was held in 



Meeth^ of ^ e Society's former room at 122, Old Christchurch 

 Session ° Road, on December 3rd, 1908. Some 15 members 



attended. The Chairman exhibited a monthly 

 portfolio of the Zodiac Camera Club. A discussion followed, after 

 which it was decided to issue a circulating portfolio of original 

 photographs, scientific and pictorial, taken by members. The late 

 Chairman of the section, Alderman R. Y. Banks, undertook the 

 management of this portfolio, to which all consented to contribute 

 specimens of their work. It was agreed that a contribution of one 

 shilling per head per annum should be paid by members receiving 

 the portfolio, to cover necessary expenses. 



On February 4th, 1908, a demonstration was given 



dC A Cr by R * Y ' Banks > Es( l-' on the new Ensyoa paper 

 l^nin 0 of r recently introduced by the Paget Photographic 

 Platinum Some exce ^ en t prints, in several tones, were 



p rints produced, and the advantages and method of 



working the process clearly explained by the 

 lecturer. This was followed by a demonstration on the colour 

 toning of platinum prints by the Chairman. The salts of vanadium, 

 in several solutions, proved successful in producing some very 

 pleasing colour effects on prints provided by Mr. Hankinson. 

 Much interest was shown in the experiments by members present. 

 This was the last meeting of the section held in the Society's old 

 room. 



The first meeting of the section to be held in 

 Cameras Granville Chambers was on March 16th, 1909, 



when Dr. Ord gave a demonstration on " Reflex 

 Cameras," explaining their construction and principles by black- 

 board diagrams, and showing their working by his Planex camera.
