It is desirable to draw attention to the circumstance that the 
subscriptions are due on the 1st January of each year, and to the 
great inconvenience occasioned by the non-payment of the subscrip- 
tions early in the year. The work of the Officers of the Society is 
thereby largely increased, and the efficiency and potential energy of 
the Society proportionately diminished. 
The photograph issued to the members for the past year is of a 
fossil tree found at Clayton, near Bradford. The tree has since been 
purchased and removed to Owen's College, Manchester, where it has 
been set up under the direction of Prof. W. C. Williamson, F.R.S., 
so as to form a permanent record of this remarkable occurrence. 
The Photograph issued with these proceedings is a section of 
the cliffs near Bridlington, showing a remarkable series of foldings and 
contortions in the glacial clays and sand. 
The Honorary Secretary represented this Society at the meeting 
of the British xissociation at Manchester in the capacity of Delegate 
to the Conference of Corresponding Societies, and as a result of the 
labours of the committee, presented a preliminary Report on the 
Pre-historic remains of Great Britain. 
Since the last meeting, in accordance with a resolution of the 
members, a sum of £350 has been invested in a mortgage on the 
corporate property of the town of Halifax. The Treasurers state- 
ment of accounts is appended.
