have liad some difficulty as to the insertion of a notice as regards this 
institution, for we have not known where to put it. We have, as a 
last thought, put it here, as being at least more likely to be seen than if it 
were placed under any of the particular scientific departments. As to the 
progress of this club — for which, if it be successful, we shall be indebted 
to the extreme and laborious pertinacity of the Honorary Secretary, Mr. J. 
Logan Lobley — -we have now a good tale to tell. At a meeting of the 
provincial committee, which was held in November last, a prospectus was 
drawn up, which, after stating the general character of the club, goes on to 
11 Original Members who shall have been Members of the Provisional 
Committee, or founders, to the number of 250 — Entrance Fee, two guineas. 
Annual Subscription : Town Members, two guineas ; Country Members, one 
guinea. 
u Members entering after the Club is founded — Entrance Fee, four 
guineas. Annual Subscription: Town Members, three guineas j Country 
Members, one guinea and a half. 
11 Although these fees are small when compared with those of other 
Clubs, a large number of Members will furnish an ample income for an 
economically conducted and moderate establishment. 
11 When the requisite number of names have been received, a general 
meeting will be called to formally found the Club, but until then it is 
not proposed to incur any beyond very trifling preliminary expenses. 
Gentlemen sending in their names to be added to the Provisional Com- 
mittee will consequently be under no pecuniary or other liability. It is, 
therefore, hoped that the proposal may meet with the general support of 
scientific men, and that thus a Scientific Societies Club may be successfully 
established.” 
There has already been, we believe, over a hundred members who have 
given in their names ; and gentlemen desirous of joining will please to send 
in their names to the Editor of this Journal, who will then send them Pro- 
spectuses and answer any queries they may please to put.
