The Director of the Mineralogical and Geological Section would 
respectfully report that owing to the unusual absence from the city

been as numerous or as large as in former years but there has 
been no lack of interest. The meetings jointly with the Academy 
have been generally regarded as interesting and successful. Con¬ 
siderable additions have been made to the collection. Many of 
the specimens were procured by purchase with the funds of the Sec¬
