On the occasion of the Opening of the New Museum by Sir

in the Lecture-Room of the Society, and was much appreciated. 
The following members were represented, and the best thanks of 
the Photographic Section are due to them for having made this part 
of the entertainment so decided a success :—Mr. R. Kidston, Stirling, 
who sent some beautiful geological specimens of mico-photography; 
Mr. Henry Coates, by a large and varied collection of landscapes, 
principally taken by himself; Miss Macnab, by some well-executed 
pictures from Brittany, and also those taken at the excursions to 
Dunfermline and Stirling. The Blairgowrie Photographic Society 
showed a series of local subjects, as did also Mr. Harry Jameson 
and Mr. E. Nicol. Mr. Wm. Ellison contributed a magnificent 
collection of enlargements, principally architectural, though there 
were also several finely-executed landscapes. Mr. Charles Kirk 
likewise showed a fine series of landscapes, a photograph of Red 
Deer in Glenartney Forest being specially deserving of notice. Mr. 
Alex. M. Rodger sent some most interesting souvenirs of his Arctic 
experiences; and Dr. Urquhart exhibited two beautiful photographs 
of genre subjects, executed by Mr. Cox, as well as an interesting 
print taken by the platinotype process on linen.
