In publishing a List of Members of the Society, the Council wishes to call attention to 
some of the advantages belonging to Membership. Amongst these may be enumerated :— 
1. The use of the Reading-Room and Library. These are open to Members everyday; 
and the Library—a Catalogue of which has just been issued—contains the largest 
collection of Works in all departments of Natural Science, in the county. Im¬ 
portant new works are added to it from time to time. In the Reading-Room 
many of the current scientific periodicals are to be found. 
2 . Access to the Museum at all times, and an opportunity of studying some Collections 
which will not, as a rule, be accessible to others than Members. 
3 . The use of the Laboratory, and instruction in the use of the Microscope, &c. 
4 . The privilege of taking part in the Excursions. 
5 . A Copy (gratis) of the “ Proceedings of the Society,” which are published annually. 
In order that the advantages of Membership should be easily available, the Annual 
Subscription has been made only Five Shillings and Sixpence (with an Entry-Fee of Half-a- 
Crown); or one payment of Five Guineas, which confers Life-Membership. 
To meet the annual expenditure, it is desirable that the strength of the Society should 
be increased. Members are, therefore, requested to call the attention of their friends to the 
claims of the Society for the support of all persons interested in the study, or in the pro¬ 
motion of the study, of Natural Science, and in scientific education. 
Members who wish to Nominate persons for Membership, as well as others who desire 
to join the Society, should communicate with the Honorary Secretary, at the Museum.
