After a correspondence which took place at the end of last year between Mr. 
C. H. Cox, B.Sc. , of Tottenham, and Mr. Hall, it was decided that the two 
Branches should co-operate in their field and other work, and so far it appears 
that it will be to the mutual advantage of both Branches. 
A children’s section of the Branch was inaugurated on April 29, 1905, by Mr. 
Hall. Miss Ethel M. Grint was appointed Honorary Secretary. Jt has proved 
an unqualified success. Many friends have sent exhibits to the children’s meet- 
ings, amongst whom maybe named Mr. A. Ford, of Bournemouth ; Mr. R. Bates, 
of Manchester ; Mr. Brooks, Mr. C. M. Hall, and others. Many of the children 
have also made exhibits of an interesting character. 
On Saturday, October 28, a tea party was given to the children, after which 
prizes were distributed. These were books kindly presented by friends of this 
section of the Branch, and were handed to the recipients by Miss Grace M. 
Grint. 
The following papers have been read and demonstrations made at the 
children’s meetings: —

A repetition of thanks must be given by the Branch to Mr. J. L. Wood, 
P.R.H.S. , for the use of Brunswick Hall, and also his staff, especially Mr. Thos. 
Slater, who has always been ready to give his assistance when required. 
Seajord (Junior ). — A number of interesting expeditions have been made 
during the year, some of the most important being to — 
Lewes Castle. 
St. Pancras Priory. 
St. Michael’s Church, Lewes. 
West Dean Church, and 
Bishopstone Church. 
Besides these, rambles have been taken over the Downs and along the coast. 
Lectures have been kindly given by friends during the winter months. 
Special mention should be made of the one given by the Honorary Librarian of 
the Society, on “The Life and Work of Gilbert White and the Village of 
Selborne.” This was illustrated by the Society’s collection of lantern slides, and 
was much appreciated by the Associates. pus* 
Tottenham Grammar School (Junior ). — The work of the Branch continues 
to flourish, thanks to the help received from the officials of the Clapton, Hamp- 
stead and North Middlesex Branches. 
Joint meetings have been held with the last-named, and the thanks of the 
members are due especially to Mr. C. M. Hall, M.M.S., who has been the means 
of establishing an aquarian section.
