REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 
OF THE 
YORKSHIRE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. 
February iith, igoi. 
The closing year of the century has been one of prosperity 
to the Society. The usual work has proceeded without inter¬ 
ruption or abatement of interest. The general meetings have 
been well attended, the hour of meeting—4-30 p.m. for 5— 
appears to be convenient to the members. The papers read 
at these meetings have been of high average excellence. A 
list of them is subjoined :— 
“Alternation of Generations,*’ by Dr. A. H. Burtt. 
“ The Yorkshire Coast,” by the Rev. W. Johnson. 
“The Great York Glacier,” by Professor P. F. Kendall. 
“ Inorganic Evolution,” by Mr. G. Cecil Fry. 
“ Consonants and Character,” by the Rev. E. C. Owen. 
“The Treasurer’s House,” by Mr. Frank Green. 
“ Northern Natal,” by Mr. Rudgard. 
An attractive lecture programme has been duly carried 
through, and thanks are again due to those gentlemen who 
have so kindly come forward and given their services without 
fee, and in some cases without accepting travelling expenses. 
The following is a list of the lectures :— 
Thursday, January nth.—“ Photographic Revelations in 
the Heavens” (Illustrated by Lantern Pictures). By

Observatory, U.S.A.
