ADDRESS. 
Read by the President. Mr. Charles A. Hamoxd, to the 
Members of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society, 
at their Thirty-eighth Annual Meeting, held at the Norwich 
Castle-Museum, March 26th, 1907. 
Ladies and Gentlemen — During the past year the Society 
has continued to increase the roll of members, though, un- 
fortunately, \vc have to deplore the deaths of Mr. C. L. Buxton, 
Dr. C. R. Whitty, Mr. \V. H. Hackblock, Mr. E. K. Harvey, 
and Mr. Charles Foster. 
The late Mr. C. L. Buxton took great interest in Natural 
History and Archaeology, and had extended hospitality on 
more than one occasion to the members of this Society. 
Dr. C. R. Whitty of Hunstanton had devoted considerable 
attention to Ornithology, and had made a collection of most 
of the species occurring on the North Norfolk coast, many 
of which were stuffed and set up by himself. He also made 
a collection of works dealing with Natural History. 
Five members have resigned, the present total number 
standing at 283. We have not yet been able to reap the 
benefit of the alterations in the Laws made at the adjourned 
Annual Meeting, on 24th April. 1906, by which the yearly 
subscription will be raised to 6s., commencing from the date 
of this meeting. With regard to the increased amount of 
composition for Life-membership, we have already gained 
the sum of £3. as two new members, Mr. Philip Hamond 
and Mr. C. S. Cockburn. have become Life-members since 
the Law was altered, and Mr. Gurney, though an older 
Life-member, has, very generously, subscribed an extra £1.
