PRESIDENT S ADDRESS. 
accommodation. For books and papers received, amongst 
others we have to thank Mr. A. Bennett, Mr. H. G. Barclay, 
Col. Feilden, C.B., Mr. G. F. Buxton, Mr. J. H. Gurney and 
Mr. Robert Gurney. 
I will proceed to refer to the work done during the Session. 
On 28th April, your President sent some Mosses for 
identification, which were handed to Mr. Burrell, F.L.S. 
Mr. Robert Gurney sent some Shells from the Ant, below 
Ludham Bridge. Mr. Patterson sent some Natural History 
Notes, and Mr. W. G. Clarke exhibited some Flint implements. 
On May 26th, Miss M. L. Buxton read some Natural History 
notes made during a recent trip to Spain. Mr. Patterson 
exhibited a specimen of a stripeless Mackerel. 
On May 28th, by the kindness of Mr. Christie, the 
members were invited to view the grounds and gardens at 
Framingham Manor House, and were entertained at tea. 
About seventeen members and friends attended, and a very 
pleasant and interesting afternoon was spent. September 
29th, a suggestion made by Mr. Robert Gurney, that a complete 
Index to the Eight Volumes of the Transactions should be 
prepared, was discussed, and a sub-committee appointed to 
consider it. 
It was eventually decided to entrust the preparation of 
the Index to Mr. C. Davies Sherborn, provided that the 
estimated cost, of about £'15, could be obtained by donations 
from members. In a short time the sum of £16 5s. 6d. was 
collected by the Hon. Secretary, Mr. J. H. Gurney having 
generously started the fund with £5. 
The Index is now in type, as far as possible, and only 
awaits the publication of Part V. of the Transactions before 
completion. Mr. A. Patterson read some “ Notes from 
Yarmouth ” ; Mr. W. G. Clarke, a paper on “ A Week in 
Breckland.” Mr. Southwell exhibited, on behalf of Mr. 
E. N. Connop, specimens of the Desert Wheatear and the 
Blue-headed Wagtail.
