Daring the year nine ordinary meetings have been held, at which twenty papers have been read, which may be classified as follow: Zoology, 5; botany, 4; geology, 4; chemistry, 2; physics, 3; miscellaneous, 2. Four special addressee of a less technical character have also been delivered at the ordinary meetings. The attendance at the
ordinary meetings has largely increased, the average being twenty-six and the highest forty-nine. A special popular lecture on “The Röntgen Rays and their Use in Photography” was delivered in the Art Gallery by Dr. W. P. Evans, and was a success in every way. The list of members has risen from sixty-five to seventy-eight, and the number of associates is now seventy-two. The total receipts for the year have been £34 2s., and the expenditure £41 14s. 9d., which, with last year's balance of £24 12s. 5d., leaves the Institute with a balance of £16 19s. 8d.
