PROCEEDINGS OF THE 
The thanks of the Society are due to Mr. H. G. Fordham, F.G.S., 
for the map and sections illustrating the distribution of the boulder- 
clay of North Herts; to Mr. F. W. Phillips, F.L.S., for the litho¬ 
graph of the Discostomatous Protozoa of Hertfordshire; and to Dr. 
John Evans, F.II.S., for the plate and woodcuts illustrating the 
evolution of types on ancient British coins. 
The late Mr. A. E. Pryor’s ( Flora of Hertfordshire ’ is now 
approaching completion. Twenty-five sheets (400 pages) are printed, 
bringing the work down to the Monocotyledons, and a few more 
sheets now in type and under revision will complete the flowering 
plants. The work will probably extend to about 600 pages, con¬ 
siderably more than was at first anticipated. In addition to the 
500 ordinary copies, 50 large paper copies are being printed on 
hand-made paper. 
The library is in a satisfactory condition, and numerous books 
have been received by donation and exchange during the past year. 
The use of the books by members not having increased, as was 
expected would have been the result of the publication of the Cata¬ 
logue, the Council hopes shortly to issue new regulations which 
will facilitate the borrowing of books. A few microscopic and 
other objects of local interest have been presented to the Society, 
and further donations will be acceptable. 
In conclusion the Council has to express the thanks of the Society 
to the Committee of the Watford Public Library for the accommo¬ 
dation afforded for your library and the Watford meetings.
