ADDRESS. 
Read by the President, Mr. Henry Sekbohm, F.L.S., F.Z.S., to 
the Members of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists 1 Society, 
at their Twenty-second Annual Meeting, held at the Norfolk 
and Norwich Museum, March 31st, 1891. 
Ladies and Gentlemen, — When you did mo tho honour of 
electing me your President for the year now closing, you placed a 
very busy man in tho chair, who had so many irons in tho fire 
that it Avas impossible for him to be present at your meetings, 
hoAvever deeply ho might bo interested in the subjects brought 
forward from time to time for discussion. 
The papers read during the past year have, as usual, been to a 
considerable extent ornithological, which is of course due to that 
branch of science being so strongly represented amongst our 
members ; with a President devoted to the study of Entomology it 
s to be hoped that Insects and Plants will claim a larger share of 
mr attention during the coming year. I think, however, that our 
programme has been sufficiently diversified to be relieA'ed of any 
nonotony, and to this Mr. Patterson’s frequent notes on the Fishes 
.nd Crustaceans observed by him near Yarmouth have largely 
■ontributed ; through his Avatchfulness several species hitherto 
inrecorded for his immediate neighbourhood, or for the County 
t large, have been brought to light. 
On May 27th Lord Lilford favoured us with a contribution on 
he Birds in the Lilford Aviaries, giving some very interesting 
otes on the several species of birds of prey which he has been 
II ) successful in retaining in healthy captivity.
