REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR 1898. 
present rapid rate of growth. But the question of providing 
fresh accommodation has only been deferred, not settled. 
The Cataloguing of the books is steadily progressing, and 
the Hon. Librarian wishes here to acknowledge the help kindly 
given by Mr. George Wilson in this work. In all probability 
the catalogue will be finished in 1899. 
Photographic Section. —The number of members of this 
Section has increased during the last Session (from 24 to 27) 
and the attendance at the meetings has been well maintained. 
It would be well if it were more widely made known that 
members and associates of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society 
can now join the Section on payment of a reduced annual 
subscription of 2s. 6d., and that non-members of the Yorkshire 
Philosophical Society can be admitted for an annual sub¬ 
scription of 5s. Several new members have already availed 
themselves of this privilege. 
At Christmas the Photographic Section joined the Affiliated 
Photographic Societies of Great Britain. This will in future 
enable the Section to obtain sets of prints, lantern slides and 
papers on photographic subjects for exhibition or discussion 
at the monthly meetings and thus, it is hoped, add much to 
their attractiveness. The finances of the Section are in a 
satisfactory state.
