COUNCIL FOR I907. 13 
A good many members of the British Association visited the 
Observatory, the equatorial being most in requisition. 
The transit instrument was slightly damaged during the 
alterations, but has since been put into good adjustment by 
Mr. Scott. All is now in good order. 
The Photographic Section. —This Section of the Society 
continues in a fairly healthy condition and maintains its 
numbers. A new departure was inaugurated at the beginning 
of the Session of 1906-7. Instead of holding the meetings 
regularly on the first Wednesday of each month, it was decided 
to hold about four meetings in the Session, the date of each 
meeting being fixed according to the general convenience and 
being under the charge of a particular member who would 
undertake to provide the business of the meeting. The 
meetings conducted upon this plan have so far proved very 
successful ; competitions in photographic subjects have been 
held at most of the meetings. 
The Exhibition of Lantern Slides given by the members of 
the Photo Section in the Museum, at the end of each Session, 
continues to be as popular and as well appreciated as ever. 
All members of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society interested 
in photography are cordially invited to join the Photographic 
Section. Ail that is necessary is to apply to either of the joint 
Hon. Secretaries : 
H. Dennis Taylor, or Malcolm Spence, 
Stancliffe, Almery Garth, 
Mount Villas, Marygate, 
in order to have their names entered on the list of members. 
The subscription to the Section is 2/6 per annum.
