Ir is with much pleasure and satisfaction that your _ Committee present to your notice this first annual report on the affairs and proceedings of this Society, during the past year. The first few monthly meetings were held at the _ Dispensary; which locality being found inconvenient, they subsequently took place at the Atheneum; the k committee of that Institution having kindly placed a room at their disposal. 4 The number of members who have joined the Society during this the first year of its existence is 74; and it is to be hoped that this number will be increased, as its objects are more generally understood and appreciated. The financial state of the Society is satisfactory, showing a balance in the hands of the Treasurer of £13 4s.4d. The outlay for Printing and other inci- dental expenses, has been heavier than it is likely to prove in future years; when we hope to be able to devote a larger sum to the purchase of books, especially those of a standard character. Several Journals, devoted to Natural History, are taken in, and placed upon the table at the Society's Room at the Atheneum, from ten till four daily ; and members desiring to peruse them at their own homes, may obtain the works after the first month, on appli- cation to the librarian. Several interesting Papers have been communicated at the usual meetings of the Society, (which have been regularly held on the second Thursday in each month,) and many valuable Zoological, Geological, Botanical, and Microscopical specimens exhibited on these occasions. 5 The following are the Papers which have been read :— i On the “ Hotété,” a root Caterpillar of New Zealand, by Mr. W. ConstaBxe. II. On the “ Habits of the Geotrupes,” Mr. J. N. WINTER. - Til. Remarks on two new British Plants, the Agrimonia odorata, and the Alopecurus pronus, by Mr. A. WALLIS. IV. On the “ Fungi,” by Dz. Kina. Me On “ Red Snow,” by Mz. Barciay PHILLIps. VI. On “ Ferns,” by Mr. Wonror. Vil. On the “ Genus Cinchona,” by Dz. Kine. Viti. On the ‘‘ Diatomacee,” by Mz. Horne. Ix. On the “ Geological features of Ardingly,” Mr. Hottis. x. On the “ Flora of the Ardingly District,” Mr. A. Waxtis. The annual Excursion, in compliance with Rule XV, took place on Friday, August 3rd, to the Ardingly Rocks, and gave rise to the very interesting Papers 6 last mentioned in the above list, copies of which are now lying on the table for general perusal, and a sketch of the locality has been kindly presented by Mr. Penley. Before concluding their report, the Committee take this opportunity of suggesting, that any Member having duplicate copies of works on subjects connected with Natural History, will confer no slight boon on the Society by presenting them to it. It is with the greatest pleasure that the Committee, in taking this restrospect, gather so much to encourage the promoters and well-wishers of the Society, and they trust that each member will individually exert himself to increase its prosperity and success. wr OWOCOSONOO SF OTIS nat ae 0 0 “ez ‘cogl ‘I ‘LdaS DNIGNA UVAA AHL UOT LNOOOOV SAALOASVAUL T _ damsuery, Jo pusy ur eounyeg sur 420] JO SOO}ON jo kaon “* squoUt ~RNgETCL Ayqeg 8 Axejaq00g é S[BOI Polley et € T 0 9 L “ Krauoyeyg pus saryuntg ¢ ae "+ *Q9q709 pure Bay, 0 & 0 I F et ee “STB JPA JO 3°98 vee ase sony suquitg te oo " LOJDITTON 00 28 tee vee suorjdizosqng ve endo queysissy eo AWMDOOHOWMA MO AWIO Pa “a PRINTED BY ARTHUR WALLIS, BOOKSELLER AND STATIONER, }, —- : BEOND REPORT im. oF THE. &.

In presenting the Second Annual Report, your Com- mittee feel they have the very pleasing task to perform of recording the continued prosperity of this Society, which is gradually taking that place among learned bodies, which in a town, containing so many votaries of Natural History, it ought to assume; this prosperity is more remarkable from the fact, that it has been gaining fresh strength during a year which has been marked by others as one of trial and decreasing numbers. As will be seen by the balance sheet, the finances are in a very flourishing condition, there being a balance in the hands of the Treasurer of £5. 10s. 7d. While this Society has to rejoice at its continued prosperity and increased numbers, it still has to deplore the loss by death of some valuable members, among whom your Committee mention with feelings of deep regret, Messrs. Arthur Wallis, Payne, and Lennard, the first of whom was one of the originators of the Society, and its most valuable member; and considering the fluctuating character of the population, it will not be felt a matter of surprise that it has also lost some few by retirement and removal, of the latter class, one of its Hon. Secretaries, Dr. Bayes, in whose stead Mr. Wonfor was elected. In addition to the periodicals in circulation last year, there has been added the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society; the volumes for the current year of the Paleontographical and Ray Societies will shortly be in the Library, and in fulfilment of a promise in last year’s report, your Committee have purchased the following standard works on Natural History:— Harvey’s British Marine Alge. Bell’s Reptiles. Bell’s Crustacea. Forbes’ Star- fishes. Dr. Johnson’s Zoophytes. Newman’s Ferns. Owen's Fossil Mammals and Birds. Rymer Jones’ Comparative Anatomy. Forbes and Hanley’s Molluscous Animals and their Shells. The Magazine of Natural Philosophy which was in circulation has ceased to exist. It will also be seen amongst the expenditures, that a 7 very convenient piece of furniture has been purchased, which, for the present, answers both as a book-case, and Museum. At the usual Monthly Meetings, several interesting papers have been communicated, and many valuable specimens of Natural History, and sketches illustrating Geological peculiarities have been exhibited. The following are the subjects which have been in- troduced and discussed :— “Formation of a Hortus Siccus, and the Methods of drying Plants,” Mr. Wuarety. “Memoir of Dr. George Johnson, of Berwick,” _ Dr. Kine. _ «The Yew Tree, and the question whether grafts die _ at the same time as the parent stem,” Mr. Wonror. “ Habits and Peculiarities of Moths and Butterflies,” Mr. Winter. “ Instinct and Reason,” Mr. LéwentTHat. “The Puss Moth,” Mr. Merrirrevp. “The Baobab, and the Wellingtonia Gigantea,” Mr. Wonror. “The Structure of the human eye,” Dr. Kine. 4 Ethnology, in its relation to Zoology, and the other _ Branches of Natural History,” Dr. R. Gorpon Latuan. ‘The annual Excursion took place on Wednesday, July 16th, to Balcombe and the district adjoining Tilzate 8 Forest; a report of which, drawn up by Mr. Wonfor, and illustrated with a sketch presented by Mr. Penley, lies upon the table. The average attendance at the monthly meetings has considerably exceeded that of our first year, proving that the interest in the Society is not of an Ephemeral character. Your Committee have to record the following dona- tions :—Hawkins on the “ Ichthyosauri and Plesiosauri,” from B. Vallence, Esq.; Wood’s “ Crag Mollusca,” from W. Hollis, Esq.; preparation of a Double Chick, from G. Willis, Esq; and three sketches, made during the ex- cursion, from A. Bigge, Esq.; and would take this oppor- tunity of earnestly requesting its members to lend or present, for the purpose of forming the nucleus of a library, duplicate copies, or any other works on the subject of Natural History, and its collateral branches, which they are not in the immediate want of. The 8rd, 4th, and 5th numbers of the Quarterly Journal ‘of Microscopical Science being out of print, your Com- mittee would feel obliged to any member who could procure them for the Society. y CSF y b CSF 0) a a cn puvy Ul couse, OS ++ gquommosnqsty 40g, (2S eens a eayorn pus Bay, Vl Op Rees “+ Krejedoog yuBysIssy FAS S| oie "* syoog jo ossyoing 1 See ow ‘Axom0rye4S ‘suyuug ae s s[RoIpoMog: Piccoli f ‘aoryeuo(, WOO CHOONHOONEH © S| O 99 ae he ee a asvoxoog ZZ _—ssatyoroog eorydeasoyuowpeg 7 pus Soy ayy 04 suormnquywop 0 0 68 aay “+ guonduosqng at a eadiean Pare tee BL “ gogy moxy sours, | IL T sooo jo Stagg | FT te a 49 a0 f ee ‘gegl ‘I ‘\LdaS DNIGNA UVAA FHL UOA LNAOOOV S TAMAS VvadL a oo Brighton :—Printed by H.

Your Committee, in presenting their Third Annual Report, record with pleasure the favourable con- dition of this Society, which may now be said to have passed through its infant state and become one of the established Societies of the Town. As will be seen by the balance sheet, the finances are in a flourishing condition, there being a balance in the hands of the Treasurer of £2 10s. 2d. A working Naturalist in the Town, named Hemings, having died, leaving his wife and family in great distress, your Committee purchased his collection of mosses, lichens, and hepatice, and have since had them made complete and bound. In recording the donations, your Committee have to report that Mr. Hollis has presented the 6° Society with valuable specimens of a Logwood pile, and a piece of Pine from the harbour of Jamaica, showing the ravages of teredo; and a root of the - Mangrove with oyster shells attached. He has promised a collection of British fossils, illustrative of the different strata. Mr. I. G. Bass has pre- sented the Society with a number of organic re- mains from the coal formation. And Mr. R. Glaisyer a slice of wood from the London clay, containing teredo, together with a recent specimen of the animal. Several interesting papers have been commu- — nicated at the ordinary monthly meetings, many illustrated by well-executed drawings; and choice specimens of Natural History have been from time to time exhibited. The following are the subjects which have been introduced and discussed :— “ Natural History of Guano.” Mr. Epen. “The comparative structure and physiology of the . organ of Vision.” Mr. Hous. “ The Esculent Swallow’s nest.” Mr. Srmonps. “The preservation of organic remains.” Mr. Eprn. re “Certain differences in isomeric compounds dis- coverable by vegetable growth, but not recognisable by chemical analysis.” Mr. Horas. “Curiosities of the vegetable kingdom.” Mr. Srmonps. “ Vorticella Opercularis.” Mr. Rippxz. “The Waltonian case, an adaptation of the War- dian case for raising plants.” Mr. Wonror. The annual Excursion took place on Thursday, July 16th, to Pevensey, Hurstmonceux, and Hail- sham. A report of the day’s proceedings, drawn up by Mr. Wonfor, and illustrated by a sketch, kindly presented by Mr. Penley, lies on the table for the perusal of the members, together with an account, communicated by Mr. Riddle through Dr. Hallifax, of some microscopic objects found by him during the day. The Monthly mectings have been well attended, and the discussions have increased in interest. Several papers have been promised for the forthcoming year; and your Committee feel confi- dent there will be an interesting subject presented at each of the monthly meetings. 8 In concluding this report, your Committee would again take the opportunity of requesting its members either to lend or present specimens or duplicate copies of works bearing directly or in- directly on the subject of Natural. History, and suggest their placing before their friends the objects of this Society, teeling that by this means its in- terests will be materially advanced. | L OL 98F L OL S&F S OLS souvpeg 09. - ‘om ‘dureyg ‘Morpeyy 9 91 0 Spoqvy Sunt ‘Areyo1009 yurysIssy Baer Ot 2 ‘= frouoTyL}g pue syoog a | : : solip ung 9 2 1 - Asvpeg sAre}0100g-juR\sIssy 0 119 - - - dFF0H pue vay, to a aa - ‘oa ‘sossopy ‘WOxI(y 0: Beg 5 - INGUST}V 0} worywu0”, 6.20.08. - - suondriosqng 0 0 & - saoON SuttoaTq “qITUIg ree) : 99-goRT ‘souereg bse SN Be F 9) (a W tte WG ‘LS8I ‘I “\LdGS ONIGNG UVAA AHL WOA LNQAOOOV SATUASVAUL QO Apr op BRIGHTON: H.

Gwatkin, Seabrook, and Dr. Hallifax. Mr. T. B. Horne has. also presented the Society with a magnificent specimen of Icthyosaurus, from the Lias formation. ) | Your Committee have to record donations of A new periodical, the ‘‘ Geologist,” has been added to those already in circulation, so that now all branches of Natural History are represented by the 6 periodicals circulated among the members. The volumes of the Ray and Palzontographical Societies have been received and placed in the Library. A considerable addition has been made to the Library by the loan of valuable and expensive books on specified conditions, from Messrs. H. Catt, Horne, R. Glaisyer, and Mrs. Wallis. The works of the Palzontographical Society, lent by Mr. H. Catt, being of a very valuable character the Committee have deemed it necessary for their proper preservation, to bind them. Your Committee regret to announce the retirement of Mr. Horne from the office of an Honorary Secretary, a post he has filled with very great advantage to the Society since its commencement; but have great satisfaction in adding that Mr. Horne has consented to undertake the less onerous duties of Treasurer. At each of the Monthly Meetings, a paper on some subject in Natural History has been communicated, and many valuable specimens and illustrative draw- ings exhibited; the average attendance at these meet- ings has been good. The following are the subjects which have been introduced and discussed :— 7 “ Comparative Respiration,” (two papers) Dr. Hallifax. “ Phosphorescence” ....-eeeeee ceveee Mr. Peto. “Vegetable Secretions” ..............

Your Committee regret to have to report that great irregularity exists amongst the members in the circula- tion of the periodicals, whereby the usefulness of the Society is much diminished; and they also beg to call the attention of the members to the circular which was some time since sent to them concerning the missing numbers, to which no response has been made. The monthly meetings have been very numerously attended, and an interesting paper on some subject con- nected with Natural History has on each occasion been read and animatedly discussed. The following are the subjects which have been introduced :— The Natural History of Egypt and Nubia, from observations made in 1856-7... ace Fe .» Mr. John Winter ~ Anatomy and Physiology of the ¥ Perforating Instruments of Pholas Dactylus + ..

Mr Wonfor and Mr De Paris have kindly prepared reports of the day’s proceedings,‘ which lie on the table, together with illus- trations by Mr Penley and Mr De Paris. Since the last annual meeting the books belonging to the Society have been removed from the residence of Mr Horne, who does not now reside continuously in Brighton, to the residence of Mr Gwatkin, No, 49, Grand Parade, who has kindly undertaken the Office of Honorary Librarian, from whom members may obtain them at any time. ‘ In consequence of the difficulty experienced in the circulation of the periodicals amongst the members, your Committee have discontinued to send them out, and they are now kept by Mr Gwatkin, and may be obtained in the same manner as the books in the Library of the Society. Your Committee for various reasons considered it desirable to avail themselves of the permission of the Medical Society to hold the monthly meetings in the room of that Society at the Dispensary, and the meetings ~ have been, since February last, and will in future, be held there. Your Committee having found it impossible, with the means at their command, to find any permanent loca- tiou for the specimens which have been kindly presented 9 to the Society, and also having regard to the future pros- 3 of the Society, and to the fact that a Local Museum a large scale is now in the course of formation in hton, recommend that the Society discontinue to receive donations of specimens, and that such specimens as the Society now possesses be either transferred to the Town Museum, or returned to the contributors, as may be respectively desired by the several contributors. under the notice of their friends, and also by contributing t lending duplicate copies of books bearing directly or adirectly upon the subject of Natural History.

In consideration of the great increase in the value of the Society’s Library, the books in which are estimated to be worth nearly £800, the Com- mittee recommend that the entrance fee be 10s. instead of 5s., as heretofore. The following are the subjects which have been introduced :— . 1866. Sept. A Microscopical Meeting, at which the chief objects exhibited were by Messrs. Smith and Sewell, who showed injections ; Mr Cooper, circulation in frog’s foot; Dr. Hallifax, sections of eyes of insects, in which the several layers of the cornea and the nerves proceeding to the optic nerve were displayed ; Mr Gwatkin, diatoms from guano and fora- miniferse, from chalk, and the post Pleocene, Niocene, and Eocene formations ; Mr Wonfor, Oak Spangles and Coccus producing them, parasites of water rat, larve of crab, seeds of ragged robin, &c. 9 A paper on “Ozone,” by Mr Peto. The historv, nature, and properties of ozone, together with the experiments of Schonbein, Hunt, Daubeny, &c., were fully described. Test papers shewed its presence in the air in great quantities by the sea coast, and among the hills and valleys against which sea winds blow; blast furnaces, friction, electricity, water in comminuted particles pro- duced ozone. Some considered oxygen alone could not support life, and that there are two forms of ozone found—ozone and ant-ozone. A Conversazione, at which a clock and cabinet for microscopic objects were presented to Mr Wonfor. My Smith exhibited a draw- ing of the pollen of Monsiera deliciosa. Mr Wonfor read an account of a (so-called) viviparous fish, Ditrema Argenteum, which is said to carry its young in an ovarian sac or membrane, similar to the placental mem- brane of mammals. Diversity of opinion arose among the members, some considering the case not clearly made out; whilst others thought it might be analogous to the pouch of Marsupials, as the kangaroo. On Animal Coverings, by Mr Wonfor. The coverings described and illustrated under the microscope were the scales of insects and fish, the shells of mollusks and crustacea, and the caleareous spicules of Doris, Gorgonia, Synapta, and Cheirodota. It was shown that the scales of insects consist of two parts —a superficial lamina and an interior mem- brane. Though in some cases the colour 1867. Jan. 10 seemed inherent, it oftener happened, as in the diamond beetles, that it was an optical effect produced by the way in which the light fell onthem. Many also exhibited peculiar strie, or markings, rendering them tests for the higher objectives. The scales of fish are not considered epidermic formations, as they are devetoped in the true skin: im some cases, as the common eel, they are beneath the superficial layer. The shells of mollusks are epidermic, being found on the surface of the mantle, which answers to the true skin of other animals. Each shell consists of animal and calcareous matter arranged in cells, prisms, lamine, &c. A second paper on ‘‘ Animal Coverings” by Mr Wonfor. According to some authorities the hair, fur, wool, spines, horns, and bristles of mammals and the feathers of birds are all of the same nature, and consist of a horny tubular substance and a medullary interior, generally of softer structure. They also show strie, which, when acted upon by acids, resolve themselves into scales, more or less packed. The medullary cells, under the microscope, present more or less of beauty. Hairs differ slightly in the different orders; some are especially interesting, either from the group- ing of the scales, as in the bats and moles, or from the peculiar arrangements of the air cells, as in the rodents. The paper was illustrated by examples of each order of mammals under ordinary and polarized light. il On the causes regulating the abundance of insects at different times and places, Mr F. Merrifield. At the tropics and on Continents, species are more numerous than in islands, because there was more space, and the food plants, and heat and moisture were more varied. Im England there was greater variety in the number of individuals than of species. Im some seasons, and at some places, great numbers of particular species of butterflies or moths appeared, and under apparently similar conditions of food, scarcely any of the same kind were found for years afterwards. Hence arose the enquiry, why ? In the case of butterflies, some only appear during a short period of the year and a part of the day; if then, the weather were un- favourable or wet, it would prevent their coming out, especially as five-sixths of the buttertlies appeared only in sunshine. This could not be said of moths in the same degree, for the greater number came out at night; but then they only appeared for a few hours during a period of 19t0 14 days. It could be understood that if the weather were cold or unfavourable at their time of coming out, but few would be encountered. The enemies of insects fluctuated. Cold winters killed off large numbers of birds which preyed on insects; this might account for greater numbers in some years. At present we knew but little of the diseases of insects. There was a provision made to keep up species, both by the great number of eggs and the power by which pup are able to wait over a season. It was considered insect existence March. April. May. 12 was regulated too by the minimum of heat of the summer temperature, hence a cold and wet summer would be unfavourable to them.

The number of volumes in the Library, which at the date of the last Report was 566, has since been increased to 611. Although the Library is much used and appreciated by some of the Members, your Com-: ee ee ee te ee ees eee 7 mittee regret that more do not avail themselves of the opportunity of studying the valuable works which it contains, and they beg to remind Members that Books may be obtained from Mr Gwatkin, the Honorary Librarian, at any time and taken home. The thanks of the Society are due to those gentle- men who have read papers, and also to those who have exhibited microscopes and specimens; and your Com- mittee earnestly request the Members to give their assistance to the Society by reading papers and exhibiting objects of interest. The following are the subjects which have been introduced :-— 1868. Sept. 10.—A Microscopical Meeting, at which Mr. Seymour Burrows exhibited crystals of acetate of copper, manganese, &c.; the Rev. J. Cross, squirrel flea and other entomological prepara- tions; Mr. Whateley, sting of wasp, proboscis of humming-bird moth, tongues of blow and common fly, and anchors of synapta; Mr. Gwatkin, crystals of native silver and gold and arseniate of copper; Dr. Hallifax, sections of oak, showing the mycelium of the fungus Helotium ewruginosum ; Mr. Dennant, feathers of humming-bird, eyes of drone-fly, and head of crane-fly; Mr. Hennah, leaf of Begmia San- dersii, showing peculiar groupings of stomata; 8 Mr. Wonfor, harvest-bug and eggs, Trombidium, eggs of insects, and a new Ceylon hemipterous insect, at present unnamed*; Mr. Cooper, sec- tions of wood and seeds of plants. Oct. 8.—On ‘‘Sea-Weeds,” by Mr. Wonfor.—The chief reason for introducing the subject was to try and induce some members of the Society to take up a branch of study often neglected by resi- dents at the sea-side. At Brighton might be collected over 180 varieties of plants, which for a long time lay under the ban as being noxious and useless; while, perhaps, no class of plants affords more products than sea-weeds. Thus food, fuel, medicine, and many substances em- ployed in the arts were obtained from them. Among other examples might be mentioned Trish moss, abundant on our shores; laver, esteemed a delicious sauce; kelp, a substance formerly used in glass making; iodine, so valuable as a medical agent, as well as service- able to the photographer; a gum almost equal to gum Arabic; mannite, &c. The Chinese make jellies, sweetmeats, and glue from some kinds; and there is little doubt that many sea- weeds, not yet utilized, might be made to pro- duce nutritious food. The structure and growth were next described, as well as the modes of re- production, while it was pointed out that many sea-weeds appeared to be most luxuriant during the winter months. A collection of dried sea- weeds and microscopic preparations were ex- hibited to illustrate the paper. * Since named Zingis Hystricellus, 9 Nov. 12—“ An Evening for Specimens.”— Mr. Hennah exhibited plates to illustrate, and ex- plained the processes by which the Nature printing is produced—The Rev. J. Walter exhibited a collection of African ferns, made by the Bishop of Sierra Leone.—Mr. Wonfor exhibited a specimen of the white-tailed eagle (Halietus albicella), shot at Firle, near Lewes, the seat of Viscount Gage, on the 8th; fruit of the Trinidad cucumber (Lua fwtida) or sponge gourd; and the scarce angle-shade moth ( T'rigo- nophra Empyrea), which had been abundant during the autumn. A few years since, this moth was considered so rare and local, that fabulous sums were given for it; whereas, now, specimens were obtainable at a merely nominal price. In 1858, near Lewes, as many as forty lanterns were counted one night at the spot where it was supposed to be local.—Mr. Penley exhibited a collection of New Zealand ferns and sea-weeds.—Mr. Glaisyer exhibited ambergris, ’ containing beaks of the cuttle-fish; a phasma, taken near Hurst; and a collection of Abys- sinian plants, among which was the vermifuge the Kossoo. Dec. 10.—“ On the Maigre” (Sciena Aquila, Cuvier), by Mr. Peek.—The subject of the memoir was washed ashore at Brighton on the morning of the 22nd November, secured by some boatmen, and sold to Mr. Peek, who supposed that at the time of capture it was partially paralysed by the cold, while in pursuit of pilchards. The Sciena aquila is common in the Mediterranean, and occasionally visits our shores. They have been 10 taken as far north as Sweden; but only three cases are on record of their capture off our coasts. They are held in great repute for their flesh, which is fine-flavoured; the head and shoulders were anciently considered the finest parts, and presented by Roman fishermen to the Chief Magistrate as a tribute. The “ ear- stones,” which are of large size, were said to prevent and cure colic, and for that purpose were worn in a gold setting as lockets. It has been observed that, when swimming in shoals, they make a kind of grunting or purring noise. In form they resemble the bass, but are more — bulky: the head rather short, body moderately . compressed, becoming more slender towards the tail. They are of great strength, and, when © captured, wield the tail with such rapidity and force as to fell a man with a blow. ‘The speci- men taken at Brighton was five feet long, and weighed nearly 70lbs. The flesh was firm, the stomach empty, but the liver weighed only 4oz. The colours were scarcely so brilliant as in those described as frequenting the Mediterranean. The scales were large, some being nearly an inch in length, and similar in their charac- teristics to those of the white bass. The flesh, by all who tasted it, was pronounced excellent. A photograph of the fish was exhibited, and scales distributed amongst the members present. a 1869. Jan. 14.—On “ Flint,” by Mr. W. Wonfor.—After describing the position of flint in the chalk, as arranged in regular layers, Mr. Wonfor — pointed out the fact that, in every case, flints — j , P 11 contained either some organism, or had been formed on some organic substances, such as sponge, coral, wood, shell, &c. Occasionally they were found hollow; in such cases, the organic substance had decomposed, and its place had be- come partially occupied by agate, chalcedony, or erystalized quartz, The microscopic examination of thin sections, or chippings of flints, revealed the presence of foraminifera, sponge spicules, canthidia (believed by some to be Sporangia of Desmidie), and other minute forms of organic life. Several theories have been promulgated respecting the way in which flint was formed: some leaning to the opinion that soluble silicates infiltrated or deposited themselves on organisms; while others considered that silex was simply held in solution, and then deposited. Analogues of flint formation were seen in the Beekites of the Torbay conglomerate, the so-called potato- stones of Bristol, &c. That silica could be held in solution was proved by the Geysers of Ice- land and the waters of the Danube; while the fluid glass of the chemist showed the readiness with which silex combined with an alkali, and became soluble. Some thought that, at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, flint was being formed at the present time. Animals and plants possessed the power of taking up silex, as seen in the spicules of sponges, the lovely Hyalonema and Euplectella, the cuticles of many plants, the Diatomacee, &c. The application of flint to economic purposes in the past and present was also pointed out, while the paper was illustrated by a large collection of flints, contributed by the President, Mr. Glaisyer, and Messrs. Wonfor, Peto, and Scott. 12 Feb. 11.—A » discussion on Mr. Wonfor’s paper on “Flint.” After which, a number of objects, illustrative of the various ways in which silex presents itself in nature, was exhibited, under microscopes, by the following gentlemen :—Mr. R. Smith exhibited thin sections of flints, con- taining xanthidia, corals, sponge spicules and dendritic oxides (commonly called moss agates), and chert, containing Pixidularia and other organisms.—Mr. J. Dennant showed a mass of silex found among the ashes of a wheat-stack destroyed by fire, and silicious cuticles of wheat, Indian corn, and equisetum.—Mr. R. Glaisyer exhibited .polycistina, from Barbadoes deposit; stellate hairs of Deutzia scabra and D. gracilis, on young leaves, in which the hairs were packed close together; disintegrated glass, showing markings similar to those on some diatoms; and sections of silicified coniferous wood. — Mr, Hennah showed sections of flint containing a sponge siphonia pyriformis and seed vessels ; sections of quartz, through the optic axis, by which the coloured rings were shown; and artificial diatoms, obtained from a gaseous con- dition of silex by the process described by Max Schultze, in which markings similar to those on real diatoms were seen. These objects were exhibited under one of R. and J. Beck’s new large miscroscopes, with concentric rotating stage, and iris diaphragm, which was kindly lent by Mr. J. Beck for the occasion. There was an especial interest attached to the iris diaphragm, as it was the invention of Mr. J. Brown, a member of the Society.—Mr, T. . Cooper exhibited recent and fossil sponge spi- "i 18 cules and gemmules.—Mr. Wonfor showed fora- minifere in flint; foraminifere and portions of corals found in a hollow flint nodule; and Miller’s diatom type slide, very kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. T. Curteis, of Holborn, and which was pronounced a marvellous example of human ingenuity, arrangement, and clean preparation. March 11.—On “ Microscopic Fungi,” by Dr. Halli- fax.—After remarking on the difficulty of pre- senting the subject in such a manner as to convey new information, Dr. Hallifax pointed out there were many peculiarities belonging to fungi which scarcely presented a favourable aspect. Thus, many were of an evanescent nature, others were offensive either by their appearance or odour, while the poisonous quali- -ties of some were calculated to produce aversion or disgust; yet there were many points which entitled them to consideration and earnest study, though they were not generally. taken up by botanists. In the first place, they were no unimportant group, but occupied a very wide range. Since the microscope had become a more perfect instrument, the number of species had been increased from about 400 to 4,000, and still many were unknown, as many regions remained unexplored. They existed under all circumstances, presenting great variety of form, colour, structure, and character. Another con- sideration entitled them to the serious attention of the botanist, viz., their destructive ravages among the crops on which man and animals _ depend, destroying, as was well known, wheat, 14 potatoes, hops, vines, silkworms, &c, To the scientific botanist they offered an illustration of the unity which pervaded all organised forms of life. Thus, though so diverse in their charac- ter, their elemental tissue was the same. While among flowering plants the simple leaf was differentiated into bracts, calyx, corolla, &c., so, too, fungi were resolvable into delicate threads, called mycelia, sometimes filamentous, at others felted and consolidated into a leathery substance. Another inducement for their study was the fact that many problems respecting. their form, propagation, and influence in dis- eases were unsolved: and thus they opened to the microscopical student a road to fame and reputation. Furgi had been defined as hystero- phytal, or epiphytal mycetals, deriving nourish- ment by means of a mycelium from the matrix on which they grow, and never producing from their component threads green bodies resembling chlorophyl. Some might object that the terms were dry and uninviting: yet they gave an idea of their true characters. Thus the hystero- phytal grew on dead or dying matter, while the epiphytal were true parasites, growing on and at the expense of living matter. Two grand di- visions, of a perfectly natural character, had been devised, viz.: the Sporiferi, or those pro- ducing bare or naked spores; and Sporidiferi, in which the sporidia were contained in sacks, called ascz, These, again, were subdivided into six great orders, four of which belonged to the sporiferi and two to the sporidiferi: Hyphomi- cetes—thread or filament fungi—in which a thread-like filament was the predominating fea- 15 ture; Conionycetes—dust fungi—where, as in the smut of wheat, dust :was a leading point; Gasteromycetes—so called from being contained in a pouch or uterus; Hymenomycetes—mem- brane fungi—in which the threads were condensed into a membrane, as seen in mush- rooms; Ascomycetes—sack-bearing fungi— be- cause the sporidia were contained in cylindrical or sausage-shaped sacks; and Physomycetes— bladder fungi. Attention was then directed to several forms of fungi, whose ravages had been productive of considerable injury, such as that which, since the year 1845, has almost yearly been so destructive to our potato crops, and in connection with which, though much had been done, much more still remained unsettled. Another, attacking our cereals, presented great difficulties, known as it was under the names of smut, bunt, mildew, &c. Hach being distinct in appearance, specific names were given to each, until it was proved they were different stages of the same fungus. Other forms were described, and the paper illustrated by microscopic pre- parations, among which were Peronospora in- Jestans, on potato-leaf; Cladosporium herbarum, on stone-crop; Stillbum aurantiacum, on stem of sage; Aspergillus glaucus, on thyme leaves; section of mushroom, and Peziza wruginosa, in oak, and exhibiting the germination of the spores. April 8.—“ An Evening for Specimens.”—Mr. Sewell exhibited a young saw-fish and the saw of an adult, from the Coromandel coast, where they are very numerous. In their habits they are 16 said to be very courageous, attacking whales and fighting with sharks, black-fish, &c.. Their food consists of mullets, and other small fish. The saw, or, as sailors call it, the sword, is a prolongation of the upper jaw, and is armed on each side by serrations of teeth; a parrot-fish, from the same coast, so named from the mouth and teeth presenting a fancied resemblance to the beak of a parrot; the body, which is well protected by spiny scales, is said, during life, to be very resplendent in colour—Mr. Whately exhibited a curious piece of landscape marble, having the appearance of a city—with towers, houses, and steeples—brought from Florence many years ago by Mr. Anderson, travelling tutor to the celebrated Wortley Montagu.— Mr. Geere showed some well-preserved Roman coins, obtained a few years since near. Pul- borough, Sussex, by a man in cleaning a dip- ping-hole. From the circumstance of their being found in large numbers (nearly a barrow- load), and being near a Roman Station, it was considered, at the time, they formed part of a military chest—Mr. Wonfor exhibited a curious variety of the common jay, in which the three central feathers on each wing were white. This bird was shot at Oving, near Chichester, on March 14th; moths of this year, among others an Emperor (Saturnia pavonia-minor) which had emerged on the 17th February; and a hemipterous insect (Z'ingis hystricellus), new to science, from Ceylon, where it was found, on the under side of the leaves of the Bringall plant, by Mr. Staniforth Green, and forwarded by him to Mr, Curties, of Hclborn, Under the micro- 17 scope it presents the appearance of an insect porcupine: the elytra, head, and thorax being covered by a complete armature of spines, each of which is terminated by a projecting seta. This insect was afterwards shown under Beck and Beck’s popular microscope, provided with their new glass stage, which affords a very delicate and smooth motion.—The President laid on the table a number of geological specimens, but there was not time to describe them. May 13.—“ A Microscopical Meeting.” —Mr. Wonfor read notes, by Mr. T. B. Horne, on a series of « Anthozoa and Polyzoa, collected during the preceding two months by that gentleman and a daughter of the President, at the Isle of Wight. These were afterwards exhibited by the Pre- sident, Mr. Glaisyer, the most noticeable being Sertularia operculata (from the resemblance of the vesicles in this species to the urns of some mosses, botanists were at one time led to claim them for the vegetable kingdom); Plumularia cristata, Notamia bursaria, and Bugula calathea, with bird’s-head processes.—The Rey. J. Cross exhibited an interesting series of sections of forest and tropical trees, entomological prepara- tions, and diatoms.—Mr. Gorringe showed fora- minifere, Australian diatoms, butterflies’ wings, feathers, and hairs.—Mr. T. Cooper exhibited sections of cedar wood, textile fibres, and human hair.—Mr. Simonds exhibited antheridie and zoosphores of sea-weed, fucus serratus, junjer- mania, sphagnum, polystomella from Shoreham Harbour, spicules of Gorgonia, and palates of mollusca.—Mr. Peto showed, under polarized June 18 light, sections of rocks of igneous origin, among which were granite, serpentine, jasper, pitch~ stone (a very peculiar cystallization), quartz, lava from Mount Hecla: the two last con- taining fluid cavities and a very fine cystalliza- tion of agate, called, fromr its arrangement and gorgeous play of colours, ribbon agate—Mr. R. Glaisyer showed ova of the toad, a curious fungus, one of the Physo-mycetals, found inside a lump of Turkey opium, various seeds, and live recently-hatched larve of the poplar hawk-moth. These last were shown under a very cheap, but remarkably good, four-inch objective, by Nor- man, of the City-road, London.—Mr. Wonfor exhibited various salts crystallized at high tem- peratures, in which either radiating or spiral forms were seen: the most remarkable being aniline, hippuric acid, phloridzine, santonine, and sulphate of copper. Inthe copper the spirals were as true as if mathematically ruled; plumules and battledore scales from the males of various families of butterflies, in which they are charac- teristic of sex, i.e., only found on. the males. These were illustrative of two papers on “ Cer- tain Butterfly Scales characteristic of Sex,” published in the Quarterly Journal of Micro- scopical Science. Also drawings and engravings of the same, and the insect porcupine (Tingzs hystricellus), which attracted attention at the preceding Meeting of the Society. 10.—‘ A Narrative of a Recent Visit to the Voleano in Barren Land, near the Andaman Tslands,” by Mr. J. Robertson.—This had been communicated to him by a physician, a native of Brighton, stationed in the Andaman Islands, and ee ee ee ee Oe, a 19 who had recently, under favourable circumstances, visited the Voleano. Barren Island, which is only a mile in diameter, rises abruptly from the sea, which is so deep around it that anchorage is impossible. The island can only be approached when the wind is from the N.K. Near the shore the water is quite warm, from a spring, which at low-water is so hot as to render an approach to it dangerous. On landing, they entered a valley about half a mile long, down which the lava had flowed to the sea. This lava, which had a black coke-like appearance, and varied in size from that of a Dutch cheese to some twenty times that size, was lying on a bed of cinders. Walking along the edge of the lava they came to the crater, from which smoke was issuing. The original rock seemed to have been riven asunder and to have left a circular amphi- theatre, half a mile across and 700 feet high. The lava and cinders poured out had formed a symmetrical cone, with a slope of an angle 45°, and 1,000 feet above the sea level. At first an ascent seemed impossible, owing to the slippery nature of the large stones which lay upon a sub- stratum of cinders. It was only by climbing on hands and knees that any progress was made. ‘When they reached the ravines worn by the rains, the ascent became better and firmer. They next reached a portion, white with burnt sulphur, which was full of holes, and seemed to shake under their feet. Here sulphurous vapour was rising, and the impression made on the mind was that the crust would give way and they should - fall into the furnace beneath them. ‘This state . -0f things continued until six out of a party of 20 eight reached the top of the crater, an’ oblong, 20ft. across, 50ft. long, and 30ft. deep. One end of the crater was formed of solid shining lava; the other of rubbish. The edge was so narrow that they could only stand by placing one foot on the side of the slope. The north end, though not smoking, was quite hot, and had cracks and fissures in it a foot wide, They were not able to pass round to the east side of the crater which was smoking. The sides of the interior of the crater were covered with pure sulphur, which had been deposited from the vapour, and which could easily be detached in silvery white cakes. After spending some time on the summit and getting views of the adjacent islands, they commenced their descent, which was both difficult and dangerous. July 8.—On “ The Annual Excursion,” by Mr. Won- for.—The district visited on the occasion of the 15th annual excursion was Rotherfield and Crowborough, returning to Uckfield to dinner. The objects seen and obtained, the points of interest visited, and the chief incideats of the day were duly described. Incidentally, it was urged that the Society should take steps, in conjunction with the Town Authorities, to invite the British Association to Brighton; and a tabulated list of the various Societies in and about Brighton; the points of interest to the geologist, naturalist, archeologist, &c.; the various collections in the town and county; the magnificent accommodation for meetings and visitors; the proximity to London; the Railway facilities, and many other induce- 21 ments, were laid before the meeting. It was resolved that the Hon. Secretaries be instructed to communicate with the Town Authorities, and find out in what way their co-operation would be most effective to induce the British Asso- ciation to visit Brighton—Mr. J. Robertson then read a paper on “‘ Professor Owen’s General Conclusions,” in which his views respecting species and the origin of life were criticised. Owen had lived so long among dead animals that, if it were possible to describe life by them, no man. was better qualified. He had been taught by renowned teachers, had been stimu- lated by rivals, and urged on by the applause of the public, and yet, while he complained of being misrepresented and misconceived, he had less reason of complaint against others than against himself. As a pupil of Cuvier, he ought to have known Cuvier’s views, and yet he misrepresented him as saying that species were mutable: the very opposite of his published opinions. In his third and concluding volume on the Vertebrates, he asserts that species were mutable prior to the pletstocene, and since that period all those co-existant with homo were mutable or immutable only as he was. At other times, he speaks of species being predestined for man, and of an innate tendency to change, and yet scoffs at Darwin and his theory, His ideas respecting the origin of life were equally contradictory and unsatisfactory. While he desribed what was under his dissecting knife he was trustworthy, but when he theorized he was not to be followed, 22 August 12.—On “ Certain Facts in the Life-History of Moths and Butterflies,” by Mr. T. W. Wonfor. In rearing Lepidoptera, for the purpose of determining the possession of a distinctive scale by the males, several facts, some well known, others opposed to generally-received opinions, _and others of a novel character had forced them- selves on his notice. As was well known, the Lepidoptera, in passing from the egg to the mature state, underwent the several changes of larva, pupa, and imago. In two, and in some cases in only one of them, did the insect partake of food. For while a!l were voracious in the larval state, and while many possessed a proboscis of great length, other species did not possess any suctorial apparatus, and, therefore, could not take food. The parent, as a rule, laid the eggs on or near the food-substance of the larve, the gradual development of which, in many transparent eggs, can be watched under the microscope. While the changes are taking place, the colour of the egg also changes. As soon as the larva is ready to escape, it eats its way out very seldom at the apex or macropyle, where some writers assert it always escapes, but generally below and at one side. The eggs of many are very beautiful objects for the micro- scope. The larve of various,—and some of peculiar forms and habits, spend their time in _ eating and changing their skins. In facet, the ‘ chief aim of their existence at this stage is storing up vitality to enable them to undergo their further changes; for, when supplied with insufficient food or alternately starved and fed, the imago stage is either not reached or a 23 ‘mutilated or deformed insect results. When the time arrives for the change to the pupa state, some construct elaborate cocoons, others suspend themselves from twigs, &c., others burrow, all casting the last larval coat when they become chrysalides. Just before the final change, the colour of the chrysalis alters, and through the pupa case the several parts of the future insect may be made out. At last the pupa case bursts, and the fully-fledged insect emerges, with wings of minute size; these expand as air and fluid are forced through them. The scales at the time of emerging are all of full size. This is an important fact, for some assert that the scales expand together with the wing membrane itself, ' the air breathed in, entering between the laminz of each scale; others maintain that the scales are few in number and small in newly-developed insects, but larger and more numerous as the . insect advances in age. Both these theories are contrary to fact, If either that portion of the pupa case which covers the wings be removed a few days before the insect emerges, or a wing of a newly-emerged insect be taken, it will be seen that the scales are all of full size, but closely packed together longitudinally and laterally. As the wing membrane expands, they are drawn wider and further apart, until they present the appearance seen in a fully- expanded wing. Experiments made with the puss moth and females of the oak eggar moth,—to determine, in the first case, by what means the - insect dissolved its hard cocoon; and, in the second, to tind out how the males were attracted, —were next described. Several cases of partheno- . 24 genesis, in which none of the larve reached the third moult, and examples of a second copula- : tion were next mentioned. The females pos- sessed a greater vitality than males, and made in articulo mortis efforts to lay their eggs, which, : in some cases, were extruded for days after : death. While such varied colours were seen in lepidoptera, the scales themselves, when viewed by transmitted light, were cither colourless or | of a dull yellowish tint. As regarded a dis- tinctive scale on the males, there was not a doubt that in many families the males possessed scales of a peculiar type, known as the “battle- dore” or “‘tasselled” scale. Further researches might reveal other types. It could be very safely laid down that no female possessed a battledore or tasselled scale; hence, whenever found, they were indicative of sex. Several other points were advanced, and the life-history of different moths and butterflies described; and the paper illustrated by a collection of insects in their several stages, and by microscopical pre- parations.—It was resolved that a letter of invitation from the Society to the British Asso- ciation, requesting the honour of a visit to Brighton, be forwarded through Mr. Mayall, who had consented to represent the Society at Exeter. The Field Excursions were this year commenced in the month of May, and, though not very numerously attended, have been so far successful that your Com- mittee recommend their continuance during the 25 Autumn of this and the Summer of next year. The dates and places visited since the last report have been— ' Sept. 6th, 1868. Shoreham and apes ae Oct. 3rd. Lewes. | May 8th, 1869. Hassock’s Gate. June 5th. Balcombe. July 3rd. Bramber. August Tth. Balcombe and Tilgate Forest. Sept. 3rd. Findon, by invitation from H. Willett, Esq. In concluding their Report, your Committee beg to request the Members to enleayour to promote the prosperity of the Society, not only by bringing its merits to the notice of their friends and by contributing copies of Works on Natural History, but also by reading papers during the ensuing year. The Annual Excursion took place on the 1st of July to Rotherfield and Crowborough: after which the Members and their friends dined at Uck- field. The locality proved very interesting, and the day was spent very satisfactorily. Contributions to the Society’s Album of Photo- graphs, or Drawings of objects of Natural History, are also solicited by your Committee. moyysug ‘eoyjo-pypuay ‘s1o4UTIg ‘od pue 4oa],T 8 OT S9F 8 OL &oF Fe eee othe ooneriey C 9L 0 seMpung pure [19 due] ‘sdueyg o8ey80q 6 G 6B“ speatpoliag put syoog MeN 0 6LT se0n0N Sul1aaljop 10} Lasuessay{ 9 F if . .
