Two papers weie illustrated with the stereopticon. Two meet- 
ings were given up to a discussion of the “Climatic Conditions of 
the Glacial Period.” The attendance at this discussion was so 
large and the remarks of so much interest, that it might be a good 
plan to continue the plan of general discussion without announce- 
ment of special papers, in other departments of natural history. 
Five papers by four persons have been read by title. Numerous 
verbal communications have been made. The accompanying letter 
of the Council to the Park Commissioners was brought before the 
Society after formal announcement of the vote of recommendation 
by the Council, and was unanimously approved. 
Numerous meetings of the sub-committee of the Natural History 
Garden Committee have been held. The results of these meetings 
are considered by the curator in his report. The letter of the Coun- 
cil to the Park Commissioners, which was adopted at the meeting 
of the Society on April 2, meets the approval of the Park Commis- 
sioners. 
The section of Entomology is not in a very flourishing condition 
if we judge from the attendance at the meetings. No meeting has 
been held during the year, although regular calls for them have 
been sent out. It is to be hoped that this important section may 
continue its meetings in the future, but it might be well not to call 
meetings of the section for the coming year. 
It is interesting to notice that in 1870 the average attendance 
was exactly the same for the general and entomological meetings.
