Sixth Hrmual Report, 
September, 1910 
5 V&HE year under review has been more successful than any former 
4 i year. The membership is high—35 ordinary and 13 junior 
members joined during the session, and after removing from the roll 
17 names of those who have resigned, or whose subscriptions were too 
far in arrears, we have at present a total membership of 184 (seniors 
139, and juniors 45). 
Eleven monthly meetings have been held, and the highest attend¬ 
ance was 142, whilst on no occasion has the number been low. The 
meetings are becoming more and more interesting, and the satisfaction 
of the lecturer at the attention he receives is evident; a pleasing 
feature is that junior members are becoming more ready to exhibit 
specimens and speak a few words upon them. Following precedent 
in these Reports short accounts of the meetings are given herewith : —
