Excursion Programmes setting forth in detail the Natural 
History and Geological features of the districts visited, have been 
regularly printed and circulated amongst the members and 
associates. Extra copies have been struck off, and will even- 
tually be bound up, to appear in the Union's Transactions. 
Permission to visit Estates has almost unanimously been 
given by the various land-owners throughout the county, and, 
in some instances, the owners have personally helped to make 
our visits enjoyable and profitable. 
Railway Facilities have also been kindly granted by the 
different railway companies as in past years, and this privilege 
has no doubt largely contributed to the success attending 
the meetings as regards the numbers present.
