The Lectures delivered in the Theatre of the Museum in 
the year 1859, have been scarcely so numerous as in the preced¬ 
ing year. Early in the year the Council engaged Mr. Gosse 
to deliver two lectures On Examples of Divine Contrivance 
in the Structure of the Lower Animals.” Mr. Procter delivered 
two lectures “ On the Natural History and Mineralogy of 
Precious Stones,” and the Rev. John Lees two On "VVilliam 
of Wykeham.” Mr. Greenhow also gave an account of his 
personal experience at the Siege of Lucknow; and Mr. Davies 
his fourth Antiquarian Walk through York.” In the autumn 
and winter session, the Society has been indebted to the Rev. 
Thomas Myers, for three lectures On Mental and Moral 
Science ;” to Mr. Procter, for one On Induced Electricity;” 
and to Capt. O’Brien, for an account of the “ Currents of the 
Ocean.” Abstracts of the papers read at the Monthly Meetings 
of the Society are appended to this Report.
