COUNCIL FOR 1899. 
Xlll 
The Librarian has much pleasure in reporting that the 
Catalogue of the Library is finished and in the press. In 
the course of a few weeks the Society will at length possess 
a printed catalogue of its books. The Librarian desires once 
more to express his thanks to Mr. George Wilson for the help 
he has given in preparing the catalogue. 
Comparative Anatomy. —The collections in this department 
are in good order. No additions of any importance have been 
made except two fine Reindeer Skulls (male) from Norway, 
presented by Mr. George Hooper. 
Photographic Section. —The interest in this section has 
been well sustained during the year, and a fair increase in 
the membership has taken place, while there is promise of 
yet more. During the past year the meetings have certainly 
benefited considerably so far as attractiveness is concerned 
by the amalgamation of the Section with the Affiliation of 
Photographic Societies. From this Organization, which 
embraces upwards of eighty photographic societies, prints, 
lantern slides, or even technical papers may be borrowed for 
inspection or discussion at the Section’s meetings. 
The usual exhibition of Lantern Slides by a few members 
of the Section took place in the spring, open to all members 
of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, and apparently gave 
the usual satisfaction. The income of the Section continues 
to be sufficient for its moderate expenses. 
Botany.— The specimens of flowering plants which have 
been arranged during the year (1899) will be found enumerated 
on pp. 11-24. The most important additions to this depart¬ 
ment consists of two specimens from F. H. Weekes, Esq., 
York, viz. :— 
Rubus chamcemorus, Linn. | 
Linnca corrallis , Gronov. f 
Morrone Hill, Braemar. 
Mineralogy. —The collections in this department are in 
good order, and seem to be appreciated by visitors. But no 
additions have been made to them during the past year, nor 
are there any alterations to report during that period.
