being read by the members, and many objects of photographic 
interest exhibited. 
The Society possesses a suitable and well-appointed developing 
room, as well as an optical lantern adapted equally for the 
illustration of general lectures in the theatre of the Museum, and 
of papers read before the Photographic Section, as well as for 
the production of enlargements by individual members from 
their own negatives. 
The Sectional Committee has reason to believe that the papers 
and demonstrations have been appreciated by the members 
attending the meetings, and have given valuable aid to those 
inexperienced in the practice of photography. 
At the Soiree, held in April, the members exhibited a very 
creditable collection of prints in the Council Poom of the 
Museum, at which the various modern processes of photographic 
printing were represented, and an exhibition of lantern slides 
was also given in the theatre.

the President of the Section, Dr. T. Anderson, in the theatre, 
on the 14th November, and was thrown open to the members 
of the Society in general. There was a crowded audience. 
The subject, “ Notes on a Photographic Tour in Norway,” 
was illustrated by lantern views prepared from negatives 
taken by the lecturer chiehy during the past summer ; the 
camera and other photographic apparatus used on the tom" were 
also exhibited, and many valuable practical hints were given as 
to the best methods of packing and transporting photographic 
plates when on a journey. 
On this occasion was also exhibited a small but choice collection 
of photographs, by various processes, the production of members 
of the section.
