The Society is endeavouring to lay the foundations of a 
Museum by acquiring collections of archaeological, botanical, 
geological, zoological, and other specimens of scientific interest, 
A good beginning has already been made in several directions, 
especially by the acquisition, during the past year, of the valuable 
Dent Collection of Barton Fossils. Particulars as to the objects 
and hopes of the Society in this direction will be found in the 
special article contributed to this volume by the President. 
A Monthly Notice, giving full details of all meetings, etc., 
is posted to every member before the beginning of each month, 
and a volume of Proceedings is published every year. 
Application Forms for Membership, and further particulars, 
can be obtained from the 
HON. SECRETARY, 
Bournemouth Natural Science Society, 
Municipal College, 
Bournemouth.
