REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR igog. 
13 
Photographic Section. —The prosperity of the Section 
and the interest taken in the meetings were somewhat inter¬ 
fered with owing to the absence abroad, for scientific purposes, 
of the President, Dr. Anderson. The Section having been 
thus deprived of his assistance and advice, has not been so 
successful and active in its operations as would otherwise 
have been the case, and material for only three meetings was 
available. 
During the winter 1908-1909, three meetings were held, at 
the first of which in November, 1908, a number of slides of 
Belgian views were shown by Mr. Dennis Taylor, and others 
of the neighbourhood of Whitby and Sandsend by Miss 
Laura Todd. 
The second meeting was held in January, 1909, when Mr. 
John Gash, of Leeds, gave a lecture on “ Colour Photography,” 
which was illustrated by a series of admirable slides. 
In March, 1909, Mr. Hervey Rutherford showed slides of 
views taken during a tour in Southern Spain and Italy which 
illustrated the leading architectural features of those countries. 
The membership of the Section has slightly increased.
