PROCEEDINGS—PERTHSHIRE SOCIETY OF NATURAL SCIENCE. civ 
18th December, 1902. 
Henry Coates, F.R.S.E., President, in the Chair. 
An interesting description of a tour in Norway, accompanied by 
a series of lantern slides, was given by James Stewart, L.D.S. 
22nd January, 1903. 
Henry Coates, F.R.S.E., President, in the Chair. 
A large number of Lantern Slides, taken by Members, was 
exhibited; but it was agreed that it would be better if more of the 
Members would take an active interest in this branch of Photography. 
The Secretary, as one of the delegates to a Meeting, held in our 
Rooms here, in connection with the proposed affiliation scheme, 
stated that a Committee had been appointed to draft rules, which 
were to be submitted to Societies, and afterwards discussed at a 
Meeting of Delegates, to be held in Perth in March. 
26th February, 1903. 
Henry Coates, F.R.S.E., President, in the Chair. 
A practical demonstration of the principles of Enlarging was given 
by the Secretary, who also replied to numerous questions put by 
Members present. 
An account of the Photographic work would not be complete 
without some mention being made of the Photographic Convention, 
which is to be held in Perth in July of this year. 
This is a meeting of Photographers, both Amateur and Pro¬ 
fessional, and also includes those who are in any way interested in 
Photography. It is held at various centres in the United Kingdom 
yearly, and the Perth Meeting will be the 18th Annual Meeting. 
Sir Robert Pullar has consented to be President, succeeding Sir 
Robert Ball in that office, and an influential Reception Committee 
has been formed. 
This is in itself a guarantee of success, but it does not release 
those in charge of local arrangements from doing their best. A strong 
Local Executive Committee, with Mr. Henry Coates as Chairman, 
has been formed, and things are looking bright for a successful 
meeting. Although Perth is near the centre of Scotland, still it is a 
long w T ay from London, and as it is probable that some will be 
unable to come so far north as Perth, it is hoped that a large number 
of local members will join the Convention, and uphold the honour of 
our Fair City.
