read his meteorological notes for the year ; and Messrs. Clarke 
and Burrell gave a paper on “ A Contribution to a Vegetative 
Survey of Norfolk.” 
At the February meeting the Society was indebted to Dr. 
Winifred Brenchley for an excellent paper, with lantern slides, 
on “Mapping”; and at the March meeting, Mr. C. B. 
Ticehurst showed a large series of skins of different racial forms 
of Palaearctic birds. At this meeting, also, Mr. J. H. Gurney 
read some notes on the recent eruption of Waxwings into the 
County. 
By the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gurney a pleasant 
afternoon was spent in the gardens and grounds of Keswick 
Hall by several members in August. This was the only 
excursion made during the year. 
In addition to its ordinary annual publication, the Society 
has published during the year a “ Flora of Norfolk,” under the 
able editorship of Mr. W. A. Nicholson. The edition is limited 
to 300 copies and sold at 6s. and 7s. (interleaved) per copy. 
It was only by the formation ot a guarantee fund by a few 
members of the Society that it was possible to finance the 
production of this book, and to those guarantors who provided 
this working capital the thanks of the Society are due. It is 
hoped that those members who have not yet purchased a copy 
will acquire one, and so support the Society in its venture. 
During the year the Society has received as a gift from Mr. 
Stephen Paget, F.R.C.S., a framed print of Millais’ portrait of 
his father, Sir James Paget, Bart. The portrait is hung, on 
loan, in the Committee-room of the Castle Museum, where also 
is hung, on loan, the Society’s medallion of Sir W. J . Hooker. 
The Society is much indebted to Mr. Paget for this fine print of 
one of N orf oik’s most distinguished scientific men ; and especially 
fitting it is that it should have been received during the year of 
the centenary of his birth, which was commemorated by a 
service in the parish church of Great Yarmouth on January 
11th, 1914. At this service the President and many other 
representatives of the Society were present. 
During the year a partial revision of the Wild Birds
