REPORT.

Tur Curster Socrery oF Naturat Science has now completed
its second year. From its commencement, it has gone on
steadily increasing, and the number of its Members has now
reached 454. Of this number, 3 Honorary and 83 Ordinary
Members have been elected since the last Annual Meeting.
This fact, at least, shows that there is in Chester an appreciation
of the objects for which the Society was founded; while, at the
same time, it must be remembered that numbers and popularity
are not everything, and if we would take rank amongst kindred
Societies throughout the country, we must maintain amongst
ourselves a large per-centage of earnest workers. Some of our
Members have for years been devoted to some branch or other
of Natural Science,—some have only taken up the pursuit
lately, —while others are looking out for something which may
awaken their interest, and so induce them to further study. To
all, your Committee would beg to offer some words of advice.
At a time like the present, when so much is doing in all branches
of Natural Science, it would be next to impossible to keep pace
with the tide of knowledge poured in on all sides, and therefore
it is the more necessary, in a Society like ours, that the indi-
vidual Members, while taking an interest in the general objects

for which it was established, should ever bear in mind that they

will most surely promote its best interest by steady pursuit and
earnest study in some one branch; in this way only can they
hope to add their mite to the sum of human knowledge, for by
small beginnings do we arrive at great ends, and what at first
sight has often appeared but a trifling discovery, has gone far to
establish some important law of Nature. If we call to our aid
patience and accuracy, our smallest work may have its value.

6

This year we have to regret the absence of the Rev. Canon
Krinestry. His loss at this season as a resident amongst us, will
be greatly felt by all our Members, for we cannot forget that we
owe to him the very existence of our Society, and all will miss
his kind and genial sympathy, ready as he ever was to hold
out the right-hand of fellowship to those who were earnestly
looking into the hidden secrets of Nature. We have, however,
his assurance that he is willing to remain our President, so we
may hope from time to time to see him at our Meetings, when
he is sure to give us valuable help, and it will be an encourage-
ment in our work to see him occasionally amongst us.

After this Meeting, the Old Palace Rooms will no longer
be available for our Society, as they are to be pulled down to
make room for the New Kine’s Scnoor. The Committee take
this opportunity of thanking the CuesrEer ArcHor1oGIcAL Society
and the Dean anv Cuarter for the help which they have so far
given us, for the use of these rooms contributed largely to the
first successful starting of the Society. To meet our luss, the
Committee, after several Meetings, examinations of premises
offered, and anxious consideration, have taken the old Albion
Assembly Rooms, in conjunction with the ArcnZoLocicaL Society.
The Albion Rooms, we think, are well suited for the display of
our present collections, and also adapted for our Lectures and
Meetings. Still, we look on them only as a temporary
accommodation, feeling sure that, when the proper time comes,
the City of Chester will boast its own Local Museum, containing
local specimens such as she need not be ashamed of.

We have to regret that our Society, as a body, possess as
yet few books. This is a great deficit; and the Committee
especially call the attention of Members to this fact, hoping that,
by their assistance, in the course of next year this want may in
some degree be remedied, and a library established in connection
with the Society. This should consist of standard works of
reference, such as might be beyond the means of individual
Members, but the use of which is essential to the carrying out of
scientific research. In the meanwhile, the Committee beg to

7

call the attention of Members to the Crry Lisrary anp Reapine
Rooms 1n Sr. Joun Street, where some good Scientific Works
may be met with, also Reviews and Periodicals of a scientific
character.

During the past year two Societies of Natural Science have
been formed in this Neighbourhood—one at Wrexham, the other
at Whitchurch. The Wrexham Society has become affiliated
with our own, and its Members partake of all our Field
Excursions, Lectures, &c., while managing their own internal
affairs. We hope to induce the Whitchurch Society to do the
same. The Naturalists’ Field Club of Liverpool has been
exceedingly friendly,—wishing our Members to partake in its
excursions, and occasionally joining in ours.

This association of neighbouring Societies is one etileulated
to promote an extended and thorough knowledge of surrounding
localities, and in every way likely to act as a stimulus, and
encourage honest emulation.

The means taken by our Society, during the past year, for
carrying out its objects, may be considered under three heads :—

1. The Excursions during the summer months ;

2. The General Lectures ;

3. The Sectional Meetings.
This last, perhaps the most important, as testing the progress
and individual work of our Members.

There have been Nine Field Excursions, when the following
places were visited :—

In addition to the above, a Conversazioné was held on the
28rd July, 1872, in the Town Hall, kindly placed at the disposal
of the Society for the occasion by the Mayor, R. Frost, Esa.

8

The Committee take this opportunity of recording their
sincere thanks to those Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, by
opening their Houses and Grounds to the Society, have contributed
so largely to the enjoyment of the Field Excursions.

Six General Meetings were held during the winter of
1872-78, in which Lectures on general subjects connected with
Natural Science were delivered. They are as follows :—

1, October 28, 1872.— Animals: their Structure, Habits, and Instincts,”
by E. A. Davinson, Esa.

November 27, 1872.—% Deep Sea Dredging,” by the Rev. Canon
Kiunestry, President.

bo
.

3, Jan. 30, 1873.— Cave-hunting in Yorkshire’ by W. Boyp Dawkrss,
Esa, F.R.S.

4, February 27, 1873.—‘* The Vegetable Cell,’”’ by the Rev. J. L. Beprorp,
M.A.,F.L.S.

. March 27, 1873.—* On the Growth of Corals,’’ by the Rev. H. H.

Hicerns, F.G.S., President of the Liverpool Naturalists’ Field Club.

Or

6. April 24, 1873.—* Musical Vibrations,’’—with experiments—by Mr. J.
H, Harrison.

This last most interesting Lecture by Mr. Harrison dis-
covered to our Society the want of some addition to its objects
of study, which had been previously limited to Botany, Geology,
and Zoology, and therefore the Committee hope that during
the ensuing winter a fourth Section may be added, to embrace
some of the so-called Physical Sciences, such as Astronomy,
Chemistry, Light and Heat, and Electricity, &c., &c.

The Botanical Section, last year, was indebted to the
Chairman (the Rev. J. Harris, M.A.); to Mr. Cross; and to
Mr. G. W. Survssoxz, F.G.S., for Papers on Botany. During
the winter, the Rey. J. Harris read a series of Papers on
the Natural Orders, commencing with the N. O. Composite, and
ending with N. O. Conifere.

In the Zoological Section, Papers were read by the Chair-
man, Mr. A. O. Waker; Dr. SrotrerrotH; Dr. Dosie;
Mr. J. C. Stivens; and Mr. A. River.

9

In the Geological Section, Papers were read by the Chairman
(Me. G. W. Survssorz, F.G.S.); Mr. D. Macxrvtosp, F.G:S. ;
Mr. M. A. Moon, F.G S.; Mr. Cross; and Mr. W. Snone, Jun.

Your Committee trust that they have conducted the business
of the Society so as to further its interests. For this purpose,
they have met thirteen times, and have endeavoured to the
utmost to carry out, in letter and in spirit, the Rules and
Regulations of the Society.

NOTICE.

A LIBRARY, in connection with the Society, is now being
formed, and the Committee will feel obliged to any of the Members,
or their Friends, who may make a presentation of Books, which
will be forthwith deposited at the Albion Rooms, for general use
by the Members.

Subscriptions are due on the 1st Juy in each Year;
and Members who have not paid are respectfully requested
to forward the amount to the Hon. TREASURER, or fo
Mr. Mitts, Eastgate Row.

See

THIRD ANNUAL REPORT.

Durine the past year, the number of the Members of
this Society has gone on steadily increasing, and has now
reached 502. Of this number, since the last Annual Meeting,
1 Honorary, 2 Corresponding, and 62 Ordinary Members have
been elected. We have lost 17 by death and removal. The
large number of Members that the Society has now on its list
is a hopeful sign, both for its present and future stability, but
one that is also a source of some anxiety to those who take an
interest in the true objects for which such Societies are estab-
lished ; for though, in a certain sense, we are all learners, still
the very word ‘‘Society” implies the associating for some
given object, and this, in our case, is the mutual communication
of knowledge, so that the more we see our Members coming
forward, both to give and to receive, the more surely do we
know that we are progressing in the right direction. Scientific
training in some one subject is the best discipline a mind can
receive; but there is much still that is open to the observant
faculties, and though we all know we are gifted with senses,
the importance of cultivating these senses is as yet only partially
understood. There are two little books which no doubt many
of our Members know, and which are not a little suggestive on

6

this subject. One, a story of our youthful days, called ‘‘ Eyes
and no Eyes ;” the other ‘‘ The Five Gateways of Knowledge,”
by Proressor Witson. The first of these books shows us how
possible it is to have eyes that see not, ears that hear not, and
hands that handle not; while the second in some slight degree
introduces us to a knowledge of the organs by which our senses
act,—those bodily senses which are given us that we might
enter into, possess, and enjoy the Kingdom of Nature. In fact,
our five senses are the tools with which we are gifted, but unlike
any other tools, it will be found that the more we use them
the better they will serve us. The mason who prepares a stone
uses chisel, mallet, and square, all with his utmost skill, and
fashions the stone often quite irrespective of the place it is to
occupy in the complete building; so the Great Artificer wills
that we cultivate the faculties He has given us with the utmost
diligence, since all accurate observation goes to the building up
of the Temple of Science, and brings us nearer to a knowledge
of that infinite wisdom which is at once the origin and source of
our material universe.

These few remarks are intended to act as a stimulant to
the younger Members of our Society, whom we are anxious to
welcome into the rank of workers, so that our Social Hive
shall contain more workers and fewer drones each successive
year. ,

The Jast Annual Meeting was held in the Old Palace, which
was then used by the Society for the last time. Since then, all
our Meetings have been in the Otp Arsion Rooms. It will be
seen, from the Treasurer’s Report, that this move has not been
made without considerable expense; still we think we may be
contented to have found so good a resting-place, and we hope
to make further improvements in the rooms before next winter,
in order to secure the comfort of those who attend our Meetings.
It is in a great measure owing to the expenses of the move that
little has been done in the way of pushing forward a Local
Museum, for your Committee could not see their way clearly to

1

spending money when there were such heavy disbursements
for gas-fitting, painting, cleaning, moving, &c. We are happy,
however, to say, that we have now on hand a Case which we
hope will be a model for many similar ones to be filled by a
local flora and fauna.

During the past year, through the liberality and kindness
of the late Miss Potrs, our Society has come into possession of
a most valuable geological and botanical collection. This col-
lection was the result of a long life of scientific pursuits, and
when properly arranged and labelled, will be a valuable addition
to our present collection. In addition to this, our Society have
to thank Dr. Morrat (of Hawarden), the Rev. J. L. Darsy,
and W. M. Weaver, Esa., for several valuable contributions to
the Museum.

We regret that nothing has as yet been done towards the
formation of a regular Library. The Committee, however, have
to thank the Representatives of the late Miss Ports, as well as
Carr. Henry Ports, for a valuable collection of Scientific Works,
a list of which is herewith given; also those persons who have
kindly presented books to the Society, and especially those
Members who so liberally came forward with the offer of the
loan of Scientific Works for the use of Members who were
prosecuting particular branches of Science.

We have kept up, during the past year, friendly relations
with Tue Lrverroot Naturauists’ Fretp Crus, and have often
joined each other’s excursions. Tae Wrexnam Society, which
is affiliated to ours, is prospering, and when our excursions lead
us in their direction, we are sure to be joined by many of their
Members.

‘To come now to the more immediate work of the Society.
We will, for the sake of convenience, consider it under the three
heads-—

1. Tue Excursions during the summer months;
2. Tne GENERAL LECTURES ;
3. Tue Secrionat MEETINGs.

There have been Nine Frietp Excursions, when the fol-
lowing places were visited :—

A ConversAZIonE was held in the Town Hall, July 18, 1873,
which was well attended, and on this occasion our President,
the Rev. Canon Kinastry, made a short address. We also had
the pleasure of our President’s company on the excursion to
Church Stretton, when all our Members seemed thoroughly to
enjoy themselves.

Your Committee take this opportunity of thanking the
Mayor, R. Gree, Esa., for his kindness in placing the Town
Hall at their disposal for the Annual Conversazioné. They also
thank those Noblemen and Gentlemen who, by opening their
Houses and Grounds to the Society, have so greatly contributed
to the enjoyment of the Field Excursions.

. In mentioning the Field Excursions, we have pleasure in
acknowledging our obligations to all those Members who have
kindly come forward to act as guides, and especially to Mr.
Macxintosu, who, by his knowledge of the surrounding country,
has often led us to places and objects that might otherwise have
escaped our observation.

Seven Generat Meetines were held during the winter of

1873-74, when Lectures on general subjects connected with
Natural Science, were delivered. They are as follows :—

by J. Mitts.

Each Section has met once a month during the past
winter : —

In the Botanical Section, the following Members have read
short Papers or made communications :—G. Cross, Rev. J. L.
Beprorp, G. W. Surussorz, &e. Besides this, the Chairman,
the Rev. J. Harris, has given us, at each Botanical Meeting,
a systematic course of Structural Botany.

In the Zoological Section, Papers were read by the Chairman
(A. O. Watxer), J. Price, M.A., T. SHepHearp (contributed by
Dr. Mvera), Dr. Dozsrz, and J. D. Srppaty. The Paper by
Mr. Srppatt was on ‘The Foraminifera of the River Dee.”
This Paper was one of the best and most original that has been
read in this Section, and one that the Committee hope, at some
future day, to print amongst the Society’s proceedings.

In the Geological Section, Papers were read by the Chairman
(G. W. Surussote), W. Suone, Junr., J. Price, M.A., G. Cross,
A. O. Watxer, and D. Macxintoso, F.G.S. The most
remarkable Paper read in this Section was by Mr. Suonz,
on ‘*The Discovery of Foraminifera in the Boulder Clay of
this Neighbourhood.”” Both the discovery of the shells and
their identification reflect great credit on Mr. SHonez as an
accurate and original investigator. This Paper, also, the

Committee hope to publish.

Besides these Sectional Meetings, the Committee have to
thank the Rev. J. L. Beprorp for an Elementary Lecture on
“Chemistry,” which they hope will be the commencement of
other Lectures on Physical Science.

The Committee look with satisfaction on the result of this
last winter’s meetings of the different Sections. The quality of
the Papers has been good, the attendance often more than
could be expected, and the Members that were present seemed
anxious to ask questions and to discuss the subjects brought
under consideration.

Your Committee cannot conclude this Report without ex-
pressing their deep regret at the loss they have sustained in the
death of one of their number, Mr. W. F. Ayrton, who has,
from the very commencement of the Society, taken a lively and
earnest interest in its welfare, contributing, by his knowledge
and his keen appreciation of all that was beautiful in art and .
nature, not a little to its general progress. His loss will be
deeply felt by all those who had the happiness of knowing him
in his intimate relations, and we, as a body, shall miss his

kindly and genial presence amongst us.

Your Committee trust that they have conducted the business
of the Society so as to further its interests. For this purpose
they have met 18 times to arrange lectures and excursions, and
carry on the general business of the Society. Before giving
up their office, they take this opportunity of thanking the Mem-
bers of the Society for so cordially supporting them in all they
have undertaken.

ANNUAL REPORT.

Ovr last Annual Meeting took place on the 30th of June,
1874, when a change was made in our Rules, and we fixed April
as the month in which this Meeting should be held, thus giving
a definite ending to our Winter Lectures, before entering on the
Summer Field Excursions. This last year has, in consequence,
been father a short one, but not on this account devoid of
interest, as we have to record the steady progress the Society
has made in developing its own internal resources. We have
now on our books a total of 541 members. Since our last
Annual Meeting we have added 3 honorary members, and
63 ordinary members. We have lost by death and removal
2 honorary members, and 18 ordinary members. We have
to regret the loss of a distinguished honorary member,
Srr Cartes Lett; he was taken from us full of years,
and after a life of real work in the field of geology, which
science he, with many distinguished colleagues, may be said
to have almost reconstructed, and given a fresh stimulant
to its study, by directing the mind to the closer observance
of the every-day occurrences of nature, which are now found
to be the best interpreters of the changes which have taken
place in past times. The saddest and most marked event of
the year has been the death of our President and Founder,
Cuarnes Kriyestey, to whom we, as a Society, owe every-
thing. He departed this life peacefully at his own beloved
Rectory of Hversley, January 23rd, 1875, and some of our
Committee had the privilege of representing this Society at
the funeral, when we stood amidst a crowd beside the grave
of one loved and honoured, and mourned with no common
sorrow. We shall not often look upon his like again, but

6

this Society will, I trust, ever hold his name in grateful
memory, for he was truly the high priest and poet of the
beautiful. All nature in his eyes acquired a double splendour,
for the Giver was recognised in His Gift, and the mental
vision went beyond the mere external, into the deep harmony
and fitness of all things.

In accordance with what we believe would have been
the wish of our late President, and in order to perpetuate
his memory in connection with the study of Natural Science
in this city, your Committee called a General Meeting on the
25th February last, when his Grace the Duke or WersTMINSTER
kindly took the chair. It was then agreed that a Kingsley
Memorial Fund should be set on foot, to which all our
Members should be invited to contribute. The money to be
vested in the hands of Trustees, will have for its object,—

(Ist) “That a Scholarship (including a Medal), to be
‘called ‘Tur Kinastny Memoria,’ be founded for the
“encouragement of Natural Science, to be open to
“residents and students within the district embraced
‘by the Society, subject to such regulations as may
“be hereafter agreed upon.”

(2nd) “That a Medal may, from time to time, be given
‘‘by the Chester Society of Natural Science, for Original
“ Research within the district of the aforesaid Society,
“and that the Medal be called ‘ Tae Kinastey MemoriaL
« MEpAL.’”’

The fund already collected amounts to about £355. The
Society at Wrexham joined us most heartily, and we have
had some few subscriptions from Liverpool; but we trust
before we close our list (which must be done shortly), that
there will not be one name wanted from amongst our own
Members, for it is not so much the amount that each con-
tributes, as the feeling of union in a common cause which
will strengthen our hands for good, and prosper us as a
body in our undertakings.

7

The Museum has, during the past year, received consider-
able additions. A fine collection of British Birds has been
presented by C. W. Ports, Esq., which is not only ornamental
to our rooms, but of considerable educational value, giving
our Members an opportunity of becoming acquainted with
the external form, and also with the scientific names of birds,
both rare and abundant, found in this neighbourhood. Some-
thing has already been done in ornithology by our late
Member, J. F. Brocxnorss, Esq., in “The Birds of Wirral,”
which forms the first number of our Society’s proceedings ;
and it will be well to bear in mind Wuirz’s (of Selborne) obser-
vation,—‘ That all nature is so full that that district produces
the greatest variety which is the most examined.” The
thanks of the Society are due to G. W. Surunsors, F.G.S.,
for a valuable and beautifully arranged collection of fossils from
the Bala beds. These fossils supply a deficiency in the Provis
collection, which contained few representatives from the lower
Silurian rocks. We are also indebted to Frep. Ports, Esq., for
a donation of £10 towards the cost of cases for the fossils
bequeathed to the Society by the late Miss Ports. Other mem-
bers of the same family have also given us useful contributions.
G. Wracer, Esa., has the best thanks of the Society for
some choice fossil specimens from the chalk. The Society
also wishes to express its gratitude to D. MacxrnTosu, F.G.S.,
not only for having named and arranged the rock specimens
in their collection, but for the many and various acts of
kindness by which he has helped forward the interests and
educational work of the Society. We may here state that
the Library has been arranged and catalogued, and that
the Society has received some valuable books as gifts, and
acquired others by purchase, particularly a complete set of
the Microscopical Journal. Several Scientific Societies have
also sent us their Reports, for which we have returned our
best thanks, forwarding at the same time our own Report.
This useful interchange may serve for mutual benefit and
improvement.

S

Rules for the management of the Library have been
framed by your Committee, and it is to be hoped Members
will now avail themselves of the Scientific Works within
their reach, which we trust will form the nucleus of a larger
Library of permanent reference. To read what others have
done before us is not only a present interest, but a stimulus
to further research.

We come now to the more immediate work of the Society,
which, for the sake of convenience, we will consider under three
heads— :

1. Tue Excursions during the summer months ;
2. GENERAL LECTURES ;
3. SecrionaL MEETINGS.

There have been Five Frenp Excursions, when the fol-
lowing places were visited :—

AG (oi TEM canes. sce Broxton.
ni “TK 790-0770 Ee re Delamere Forest and Oulton Park.
Pye bal (3) Lice 31 nee rE: Berwyn Mountains.
By) ME DUMSEL Jeh.clece to tal Rhyd-y-mwyn.
ae PO Ot, AOU ok, he oe brie wi Free Public Museum, Liverpool.

The thanks of the Society are due to the LiverPoon
Narvurauists’ Fierp Crus for a very pleasant day, and the kind
way in which they made the arrangements for the comfort of
our Members; but this notice would be incomplete unless we
gave especial thanks to the Rev. H. H. Hicarns, for his very
instructive Lecture in the Liverpool Free Museum, on the
“Invertebrate Animals,” illustrating his subject by the speci-
mens he had himself so admirably arranged; to the Curator,
Mr. Moorr, F.Z.S., for his interesting Lecture on the “ Quad-
rumana”’; and also to Mr. G. H. Morton, F.G.S., for his
Lecture, on the same occasion, on the “‘ Traces of Glacial Action
on the Rocks near Liverpool.”

A Conversazioné was held in the Town Hall, on the 17th
August, 1874, which was well attended by our Members, and
gave a pleasant evening to very many not connected with
our Society. The Committee thank the Mayor, W. Maysmor

9

Wittrams, Esq., for placing the Town Hall at their disposal ;
and all those noblemen and gentlemen who, by opening their
grounds to the Society, have added much to the enjoyment of
the summer excursions.

Six Geyerat Meerines have been held during the winter
1874-75, when the following Lectures have been delivered :—

1874.—Oct. 27. —“ On learning to see,’’ by the Rev. Canon WatsHam
How,

, Noy. 19.— Our Holiday; or, The Cruise of the ‘Julia,’”’ by
Sir P. pe M. Grey Ecerron, Baxrt., M.P.

1875.—Jan. 28.—‘‘The Antiquity of Man,’’ by Professor McKenny
Hueues, M.A., F.G.S.

- Feb. 25.--“* On the probable causes affecting the distribution of
Butterflies in the British Isles,’”’ by A. O. WaLkEn.

.. Mar. 25.—‘t On the nature and properties of Light’’ (illustrated by
experiments), by J. Mruts.

., April22.—* On Electrical Measurements” (illustrated by experi-
ments), by J. H, Harrison.

These Lectures have been so well attended that we have
been glad to avail ourselves of our large room on many
occasions, the smaller one, used for our Sectional Meetings, not
affording sufficient accommodation.

We would call especial attention to the lectures delivered by
the Rev. Canon WatsHAm How and Sir Partie Eeerron, because
these gentlemen favoured us for the first time this last winter,
and all who heard them must desire the pleasure and privilege
of hearing them again. The shrewd observation displayed by
the Rey. WatsHam How, in his Paper on “ Learning to See,”
was admirably exemplified in Sir Puitip Heerroy’s “ Cruise of
the Julia,” from which we learnt the fall value of the trained
and practised eye of the Naturalist, which could gather such
delightful and profitable experience in a short summer holiday.

With regard to the Szcrionat Mezerines, there has been a
change, not in the number of Sections, but in their arrangement.
Botany and Zoology have been combined under the one head
“ Biology,” and a new Section added, which has for its object
the study of Physical Science.

10

Each Section has met during the winter six times, and the
following is a list of the Papers read and discussed :—

BrotoctcaL Section.
1874.—Noy. 5.—‘‘ Fungology,”” by J. Price, M.A.

» Dec. 3.—‘*On the Diatomacee found in the Neighbourhood of
Chester,” by Dr. H. Storterrotu, M.A.

1875.—Jan. 7.—‘* On Ferns,’’ by G. Cross.
= Feb. 4.—‘‘The Fresh Water Polyzoa,”’ by Dr. H.Stotrerrotu,M.A.
» Mar. 4,.—** Lichens,’’ by R, Rowston.
», April 1.—‘“ Alternate Generation,’’ by J. Price, M.A,

GroLoGicat Section.
1874.—Nov. 12.—‘* Review of the conditions under which the various
Geological Strata between Holyhead and London

The attendance at these Meetings has been good, and the
discussions arising from the Papers interesting; also much
original matter has been brought before the Society in
connection with the district, so that the Committee have pleasure
in looking back to the work of the past year, and trust there
are yet many who may be found willing to come forward and
read short Papers on the different subjects of interest they may
be studying. In this way alone will the vitality of our Society
be maintained.

The only change in the officers of our Society, is the
retirement of our Treasurer, J. B, Manninc, who has been with
us from the formation of the Society, and has so discharged
his duties as Treasurer, as to add materially to our success as a
Society. It is with regret ‘that we lose the help of such an
able officer and conscientious worker.

Your Committee have, during the past year, met thirteen
times for the purpose of conducting the business of the Society,
and they trust that their endeavours to promote the general
interest and welfare of the Society have met with the approval
of the Members.

ANNUAL REPORT for 1874-75.

— SS ESE

Tu1s Socintry may be fairly represented as prospering,
and the present year has seen a large increase in the number of
its members, which now amount to sixty.

Nine General Evening Meetings have been held during the
past Winter Session, at which Papers were read on scientific

subjects, as follows :-—

“ On Chemical Physics,” by Mx. Davin Jounson, F.G.S., F.C.S.

“On Elementary Vegetable Structure and the Growth of Plants,’ by
Mn. T. Bennron Acton.

“On the Circulation and Respiration in Vertebrate Animals,” by Dr.
Eyton Jones.

“ On Forces,” by Mr. W. Hiaeatns.

‘© On the Chemistry & Formation of Coal,” by Mr. G. W. Suxvusso zz, F.G.S.,
‘of Chester. This Paper was read by Mr. D. Mackrnrosu, F.G.S.,
Mr. Surupsote having been prevented from personally attending
the Meeting.

“On the Properties of Matter and the Mechanical Powers,” by Mx. D.
Macxintosu, F.G.S., of Chester.

‘© On the Mollusca, considered with reference to their importance in estimating
the contemporaneous ages of Strata,’ by Mr. We. Suong, F.G.S.,
of Chester.

“ On Acoustics,” by Mx. W. H. Munns, B.A., B.Sc.

** On Light,’ by Mr. Mruts, of Chester.

The Committee have to express their thanks to the Chester
Society for the assistance the members of that Society are
always ready to afford in furthering the objects of the Wrexham
Society, and especially to those gentlemen who have so kindly
read Papers of great interest, during the late Winter Session,
to the Wrexham Society.

In addition to the Evening General Meetings, Private
Meetings have been held among some of the members interested
in particular branches of Natural Science, at which various
subjects of scientific interest have been brought forward and

discussed.

ANNUAL REPORT.

In laying before you the Fifth Annual Report of “The Chester
Society of Natural Science,” we have only to state that the
Society seems now to have taken its permanent position, so that
we must not look for fresh or startling events, but rather toa
simple record of its internal resources, and to its power of keep-
ing alive a spirit of research and study, and drawing into its
ranks those who take an interest in the objects for which the
Society was founded. We have at present on our books a total
of 576 members. Since our last Annual Meeting we have added
2 honorary members, 2 corresponding members, and 102 ordi-
nary members. We have lost, by death and removal, 1 honorary
and 41 ordinary members.

We commenced the year without a President, and your Com-
mittee, feeling deeply the importance of obtaining a worthy
successor to their first President and Founder, CHARLES K1InGsLeEy,
considered it better to remain for a time without a head, than do
anything hastily. By the first General Meeting, however
(Noy. 25, 1875), we were fortunate enough to have obtained a
promise from Professor McKrnyy Hvauess that he would occupy
the vacant chair. His position as Professor of Geology at
Cambridge, his connection with this neighbourhood, and his
known enthusiasm in the pursuit of science. all eminently fitted
him for the post, so that his election was carried unanimously,
giving the greatest satisfaction. On January doth, 1876, Professor
McKenyy Hueuus gave his Inaugural Address, which will be
found at the end of this Report.

6

The Committee regret that the Kingsley Memorial is not
further advanced, but there have been unavoidable delays ; one
difficulty has been the getting a medal struck with a good like-
ness, but this is now in a fair way of being accomplished, as
Mr. Bett has undertaken the work, and in the course of the
year it is hoped such arrangements will be completed as may
enable your Committee to carry out the entire design for which
the memorial fund was collected, and thus give a further stim-
ulus to the study of Natural Science in this City.

The value of the Library has been considerably increased
during the past year, the Society having purchased a complete
set of the works published by the Paleontographical Society ;
also, 10 volumes by the Ray Society. There have been further
donations of books from F. Ports, Esq., and J. W. Jupp, Esq.,
F.G.S., for which the best thanks of the Society are tendered. A
complete catalogue of the books in the Society’s Library is now
ready (price one penny), and may be had by the Members, so
as to give them an opportunity of judging how far the books
may be likely to assist them in any particular branch of science
they may be studying.

The Museum is in good order, and has, since the last Annual
Meeting, been enriched by contributions from the PRESIDENT,
also from Mr, C. W. Ports, who has supplied some interesting
specimens of Lead-ore, Mr. F. Ports, Mr. Joun Price,
Mer. Porrer, Mr. Roserts, of Dolgelly, Mr. W. Suone, Junr.,
Mr. Surupsote, Mr. Suepouarpd, Mr. A. O. Watker, and
Mr. Gro. Wraccs. Our Corresponding Member, Mr. T. Ruppy,
of Corwen, has sent us an interesting collection of fossils from
the Wenlock shale and Bala beds of his neighbourhood. The
arrangement of a set of typical rock specimens has been
completed this year, being one of the last of many kind and
gratuitous favours rendered to the Society by Mr, Macxkrnrosu.

On Mr. MacxrntosH leaving Chester there was a general
feeling amongst our Members that some slight recognition should
be made of the high esteem in which he had been held during
the time he had resided amongst us; and we were able, at one

r

=e

c

of our summer excursions, to present him with a purse of £40
and a Book, as a token of remembrance.

We have to thank Mr. Gro. Pricwarp for a beautiful speci-
men of the Euplectella Speciosa, presented to the Museum ; also,
the Rey. E. L. Y. Deacuz, for a complete set of Zoological
Illustrations, which are not only an ornament to our rooms, but
have proved of considerable use this last winter.

Your Committee take this opportunity of urging on the
Members of the Society the importance of collecting together
the local wealth of the district, whether in animals, plants, or
fossils. You will see that much has already been done by the
Geologists of the Society, for, besides the Provis collection, we
have now 229 named fossils, and 156 named minerals in the
Museum. For this we are indebted, in a ‘great measure, to
Mr. Survssoxs. It is still, however, desirable that a more diligent
search for fossils and minerals should be made in the neighbour-
hood. Though our Museum has a fair collection of British
birds, we have as yet no collection of the fauna of the district ;
and as the summer is now coming on it is to be hoped that
something will be done to supply this deficiency. Let no
specimen be considered common, for it is the common things we
want, and want to know more about. Specimens, to be of value,
need only to be good of their kind, well preserved. and the place
noted where found.

With regard to animals, large or small, many points require
illustration. Insects may be procured, set out, and preserved
in their various stages as Caterpillar, Pupa, and Imago ; also,
their eggs and habitations—all belong to the life-history of the
animal. Birds are often distinguished by winter and summer
plumage ; the nature of their food may be discovered by exa-
mining the crop as well as the spots they frequent; nests and
eggs are characteristic, and the prepared skeleton is often as
valuable for instruction as the external form, This preparing of
skeletons is a branch of museum arrangement which has been
much overlooked, and is both a delicate and beautiful art—-the

8

skeleton of a mouse being quite as wonderful and complex as
that of a lion.

Those who have microscopes are advised strongly not only to
find, examine. and name their specimens, but also to make draw-
ings and keep records of what they observe. This year has
shown us, in some admirable Papers read before this Society,
the great advantages to be derived from this mode of procedure.

With regard to the flora of the district, your Committee can
add nothing to the excellent Paper given by Mr. E. J. Baruure,
in exhortation to the diligent collecting and arranging the
plants found within a given area of the County of the City, and
we expect, this year, good work will he done in this Section.
The best thanks of the Society are also due to Mr. Barus for
his reports of many of the Papers that have been read before the
Society. -

We come now to the more immediate work of the Society,
which, for the sake of convenience, we will consider under four
heads—

1. Tue Excursions during the summer months ;
2. GENERAL LEcTuREs ;

3. SecTionaL MEEsETINGs ;

4, Exvementary Free Lectures.

There have been eight Field Excursions, when the following

One of the most successful and best-attended excursions was
the one to Southport. This was, in a great measure, due to the
kindness of the Mayor of Southport and the Directors of the
Winter Gardens and Aquarium, who did all in their power to
make the day agreeable. The thanks of the Society are due to

9

them, and especially to Mx, C. L. Jackson, one of the Directors,
who gave an interesting explanation of the principles on which
the Aquarium was constructed. The thanks of the Society are
also due to those noblemen and gentlemen who have opened
their grounds to the Members on their various excursions.
The Society has been exceedingly fortunate as to weather for its
excursions; on one occasion only was the day obliged to be
changed, owing torain. The attendance has been invariably good.

A Conversazioné was held at the Town Hall on the 19th
October, 1875, when a large and beautiful collection of the
fungi of the neighbourhood was exhibited. We owed many of
these to the indefatigable labours of Mr. J. Price and other
friends; and the value of the collection was considerably en-
hanced through the kindness of the Rev. H. H. Hicerns, who
came over early in the day and named most of the specimens,
giving us, during the evening, an interesting and explanatory
address. Besides the microscopes shewn on this occasion by
our own Members in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall,
we had the assistance of some of the Members of the Liverpool
Microscopical Society, and two of the London microscope makers,
Mr. Croven and Mr. Swirr. We were joined also by the
Liverpool Naturalists’ Field Club and the Wrexham Society of
Natural Science, who, after making the tour of the City, under
the guidance of Mr. T. Hucues, F.S.A., and Mr. SHrussoxy,
and taking tea at the Albion Rooms, spent the evening at the
Town Hall. The evening seemed to be thoroughly enjoyed, and
the attendance of our own Members was even larger than on
former occasions. The Committee take this opportunity of
thanking the Mayor, T. Q. Rosurts, Esq., for placing the
Town Hall at their disposal.

Our Society also had the privilege of attending another Con-
versazioné, held by the Wrexham Society, on February 15, 1876,
when about 40 of our Members were present, some of them taking
microscopes and exhibiting objects of interest. The evening
was a great success, and an additional proof of the prosperity of
the already well-established and flourishing Society at Wrexham.

Six General Meetings have been held during the winter of
1875-76, when the following lectures have been delivered :—

1875.
Noy. 25.—‘‘ An hour with the Microscope, with details of the latest researches
1876, into miaute life,” (illustrated), by Rev. W. H. DALLINGER, F.R.M.S.

April 27.—The Annual Meeting. After the routine business was concluded,
Mr. G. T. Jonnson, of. Whitchurch, exhibited a series of beautiful
Oxy-hydrogen Transparencies of Statuary, &e.

These lectures, being more popular in style and less technical
than those read at the Sectional Meetings, have been well
attended.

Your Committee have found it expedient to make another
change in the arrangement of the Sections, so as to secure a
larger number of Papers from each Section. The following is
a list of the Papers read and discussed :-—

The numbers attending these meetings have been decidedly
larger than in any former year, and many of the Papers have
been of great value and importance, showing that, with many
of our Members, there is a true spirit of study and research.
The great wish of your Committee, is to draw into the ranks of
the Society all those who are willing to give us the result of
their own personal observations and investigations on scientific
subjects connected with the district.

In addition to the ordinary General and Sectional Meetings,
there have been two short courses of ELEMuNtary Lecturgs, which
have been open to the public as wellas to the Society’s Members.
These Lectures were given for the purpose of instruction, and their
design was to lay before beginners a more comprehensive view
of science than can be obtained in that very important and
necessary investigation of isolated facts, which is the more
especial work of the Sectional Meetings. The first course was
given, before Christmas, by Mr. W. Suonn, F.G.S., and consisted
of six lectures on Local Geology. The second course was given in
February and March, by Dr. H. Srourerrorn, and consisted of
six lectures on the Elements of Zoology. These lectures were
well attended by very attentive audiences. Many who were

12

not Members of our Society were present, and the interest
evinced is a great encouragement to still further exertions in
this direction, as a means not only of diffusing a taste for Natural
Science, but also as an awakening of the mind to many branches
of useful study.

The only change in the officers of our Society has been caused
by the death of the Rey. J. Harris, Chairman of the Botanical
Section. The loss that the Society has sustained has been
deeply felt. The Rey. J. HARRIs was an accurate and systematic
teacher of botany, in which he took a great pleasure. He was
one of our earliest Members, and to the day of his death
took an interest in our welfare. An old and valued Member,
Mr. J. Prick, M.A., has kindly consented to fill the place of
Chairman to the Botanical Section, and will not only help us
much by his own stores of knowledge, but, we are sure, will do all
in his power to keep the Botanical Section hard at work.

Your Committee have, during the past year, met 16 times for
the purpose of conducting the business of the Society, and they
trust that what they have done will meet with the approval of ©
the Members.

Norice.—A complete Catalogue of all the Books in the Society's
Library is now ready. Copies (One Penny each) may be

obtained from the Hon, Treasurer, or the Cusropiay.

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

> es

I must commence by thanking this Society for the honour they have done
me in electing me their President—an honour I should have been loth to
accept had I thought it was intended as a compliment, originating only in
kindly personal feeling, or had I not had an opportunity of stating clearly
how little time I could give to the workings of the Society ; but yet, an
honour and a duty I gladly accept, if you accept me only as a hard worker
in an adjoining field; busy from morning to night in planting and cultivat-
ing young shoots of very various stocks, to be distributed freely all over
the world from year to year, and therefore glad to compare notes with you
now and then as to what soils have been broken—what remain unturned ;
glad to bring before you from time to time the fruits of labour gathered
elsewhere.

I notice that the subjects treated of by the Society are grouped under four
heads—Botany, Zoology, Geology, and Natural Philosophy. Now, the pro-
gress of Geology may be taken as, to @ great extent, a fair test of progress in
those other branches of science, and I have therefore thought it not
inappropriate to offer you, first, a few remarks on the subject which I
have made my special study, drawing more particular attention to the
points of connection between it and the other studies which we hope to
carry on together here.

Geology treats of the mode of formation of the earth’s crust, and of the
changes it has undergone. There are two ways of approaching the subject,
distinct, yet so interlaced, that one must often cross the other ; and those
who generally follow one had often better leave it and follow the other
fora time. We may treat the crust of the earth as dead matter. Take the
mountain mass, the Righi: there we have old pebble beds 8,000 feet thiek,
which are but the hardened shingle which was deposited round ancient
Alps. Take one pebble, it may be a crystalline rock: the mineralogist
tells you the component minerals, perhaps by form, hardness, and other
tests irrespective of their composition. Take one mineral and show it to
the chemist, and he will name the elements which compose it, and perhaps
the mineralogist and chemist may tell you under what conditions of heat,
pressure, and exchanging solvents, these combinations are now known to be
produced. Still further we may enquire: the physicist will tell us of laws
of combination and behaviour of their elements, which they say can best
be understood by forming a conception of matter as made up by little
particles or centres of form, whirling, bounding, and re-bounding within

prison walls, till nature, or the chemist, turns the key and sets them free,

14

or binds them in a closer cell. All this comes generally under an enquiry
into the mode of formation of the crust of the earth, yet it involves the
history of the changes, and when we come to many rocks, such as coal and
chalk, we have to call in others than the mineralogist, the chemist, and the
physicist.

There is another path by which we may ae the subject. I will
draw my illustration from nearer home. Suppose we travel away north, far
beyond the boundary of the red rocks of Chester, to the borders of the lake
country, where great masses of limestone that we know pass under all these
rocks of Chester, are lifted up high above the sea, and carved out into valley
and plain right down to the bottom, so that we can see what they are through-
out, and what they, in their turn, rest upon. There are many ages—many
geological periods older than the Righi rocks— older than the ancient Alps,
round which the Righi rocks were formed as a shingle beach; but in that
very ancient time the lake mountains stood—perhaps as an island in the
sea; at any rate, the part I am alluding tu was the shore of a sinking sand,
and along that shore, here and there, deep shingle was formed. You see it
up the Lune valley—you see some of it left now in a great hill called Mell
Fell, at the foot of Ullswater. Let us get some pebbles out of it. We
might carry on the same enquiry as before in the case of the Alpine pebble
beds, but now we will look at another point. We break our pebble open
and a shell is seen; the shell was clearly not a shell thrown up by the
water among the pebbles of the shore, but was in the rock from which the
piece of stone fell that got rolled into a pebble. We find plenty of shells
in the Jimestone that was formed on the shingle, or on the base rock, where
the shingle would not lodge; but they are all different from the shell in the
pebble. So we search the rocks which must have formed the old land
round the shore of which the shingle was gathered, and in bands in that
old rock we find the same kind of shell as that in our pebble. So we get
at once a suggestion of the truth, worked out through ten thousand other
examples, that at different periods of the earth's history there were succes-
sively in any one area different forms of life, both animal and vegetable,
and we have to return to the zoologist, and ask him what creature of to-day
is most like the ancient form of which we show him a bone ora shell. We
appeal to the botanist to tell us what conditions we may suppose the
cycads and club mosses of old required. Yet this is not all. We have
to enquire, Why did the old races perish, and whence come the new? We
haye to ask the physiologist and biologist about the beginnings of life, and
soon find ourselves face to face with the great problem of evolution. It
will be seen that we have appealed already to three of the sections into
which you haye divided your Society—to the botanist, the zoologist, and the
physicist—for a solution of some of the problems which are brought
before the students in the fourth section, geology. Of course we all know
how necessary for geology is the careful study of fossil plants, and how, for
classification purposes, the palzeobotanist has often to depend upon. quite
different parts of the plant from those selected by the modern botanist; but
I would offer, for the consideration of the botanists, one particular case
which has come under my own notice, to show how strangely little bits ‘of

evidence collected by them may come in useful for totally different lines
of study. Who would, at first, think of appealing to the botanist as to the
probability of a change in the position of the earth's axis? but not long
ago it was publicly announced, on the authority of one of our most distin-
guished botanists, that the plants whose remains haye been found in the
Arctic regions (Spitzbergen and elsewhere), cannot have lived there unless
the axis of the earth had been then in a different position, as those ever-
greens could not have lived through the four months’ darkness of the Arctic
night. On talking this over with the great Swiss botanist, De Canpo.ty,
and Professor Hxzrr, they at once gave an exampie which altogether over-
threw the objection. They pointed out that the Alpine roses, a small
species of rhododendron, were periodically buried under snow to such a
depth as to be in total darkness for at least four months every year.

The zoologist, also, who carries his enquiry back to the period just before
our own, must be very careful in reasoning from analogy—not to push
inferences too hard or too hastily. What a fair inference it seemed at first
that gravel, which contains the remains of the elephant and rhinoceros,
must have been deposited under conditions similar to those under which
those animals live at the present time. What a surprise must the Siberian
mammoth, with its long hair and wool, and the woolly rhinoceros, have been
to the speculators on the former climates of the Northern Hemisphere.

Let us‘ not be too hasty to infer that the astarte borealis necessarily
implies a coldish water, or the group of shells now found on the coast of
North Wales an equable climate, until we can offer some good reason why
the corbicula fluminalis and wnio littoralis, which lived in Britain with the
mammoth, should have been driven away, one as far as the Nile, and the
other as far as the Loire and other rivers of the North of France. For the
paleontologist there is plenty of work to be done in the mountain lime-
stone, for instance, which is within excursion-distance of Chester. Take
any two species of producta oy spirifera or other common fossil—collect
a thousand or so of each; then, for winter-work, clean them out, and see
whether you cannot work out all the intermediate stages between any two
closely-allied forms. We have had species determined frequently, if not
generally, by specialists who have not worked much in the rock itself, but
have had the most typical specimens of any form that has struck the
collector senttothem. In such cases the intermediate forms were neglected.
I hope that, at Cambridge, by the excellent work of our Curator,
Mr. Kerrine, and his Son, we may soon give an example of how this may
be done. Having collected thousands of specimens of terebratula, rhyn-
chonella, &e., from the Neocomian, last vacation, they are now engaged in
arranging them, to show hew a considerable number of species can be run
into one by the discovery ot the intermediate forms. But it does seem to -
me that it is to natural philosophers we must look for the next great advance
in geological investigation. We must ask them to define more clearly the
limits within which we may speculate on the possible thickness of moving
ice. In a recent presidential address to the Geological Section of the British
Association—( British Association, Bradford, Transactions Section C.) it
was stated that we could have no more than 1,000 feet vertical, Subse-

16

quently, Sir Wa. THompson declined to assign any limit whatever to the
possible thickness of an ice sheet. But have geological observers been
sufficiently careful to give the physicist correct data? Have they shown
that the ice which covered hill and dale had a level surface, or that, as the
breadth-of the valleys increased, its surface conformed more and more to the
configuration of the ground over which it passed, so as to reduce the actual
thickness in the deeper and larger valleys? Of how much, as a maximum,
have we direct evidence, either at present or any pasttime? What evidence
have we that a period of extreme cold in any one area—say N. W. Europe—
was also a period of extreme cold over the whole Northern Hemisphere, or
even over the whole of the Eastern as well as the Western part of the Old
World? Another example of questions for which we must refer to the
physicist : an account is brought* from Prussia of a deep boring at Speren-
berg, near Berlin, which should interest us in Cheshire. It is said to be
through 4,000 feet of pure rock salt, and throughout this depth it is stated
that careful observations on the rate of increase of temperature have been
made, the result of which, tabulated by Professor Monr, lead him to the
following conclusion :—* That the cause of the increasing heat in the interior
of the earth must lie in the upper strata of the earth’s crust."’ The only
comment I will offer on the whole is—'* Wonderful, if true.” But still we
must see that in such questions, whether we are enquiring into the causes
of metamorphism of volcanic phenomena, or earth movements on a large or
small scale, our appeal must be to the physicists. What sources of error
are there in observations on the increase of temperature as we descend ?
What would be the effect of laying on or removing five or six miles of
sediment? What influence might the process of crystallization or cleavage-
producing pressure have? How ought the crust of the earth to crumple if
a hardened outside was adjusting itself to fit a shrinking nucleus? But
I feel that geologists have much to do in collecting accurate data. We
know that there have been successive movements of elevation and depression
in the same area. Have we clearly shown in what direction the movements
have proceeded, by carefully tracing advancing or receding shore lines, by
noticing the source of the sediment, and in many other ways? We call our
science of geology very new; so we may say of most of the cognate
branches which are commonly understood to be included under the head
“Natural Science.” ‘True, the herbalist and medicine-man, in choosing
healing plants, learnt to distinguish and classify them. The alchemist, in
his experimental search for something that would turn the baser metals into
gold, found out many of the facts of chemistry. What would he bave
thought had he been told that men would, by simply catching some of
the light from his crucible on a bit of glass, be able to detect quantities too
small to be found out by the chemist’s skill? ‘The collector of precious
stones grouped his gems by various external ebvious properties. I have an
old work, published in Cambridge about two centuries ago, in which one
Tuomas Nicuots, sometime of Jesus College in Cambridge, divided all
precious stones into such as are great and such as are small; these groups
he further subdivided into such as are hard and such as are soft. The
ancient Hindoos and Egyptians thought that the earth had been many times

destroyed by water or by fire, and renovated. Now, as they predicted
eclipses, and correctly explained many astronomical phenomena, we must
infer that much of their science was the result of reasoning founded upon
observation, and when we find Heropotus, when collecting his travellers’
tales, noting the occurrence of shells in and around Egypt, and explaining
it by the supposition that the district had once been below the sea, we may
safely infer that the still earlier speculations as to the destruction by water,
of what was to them the whole earth, was founded upon similar observa-
tions. In the life-time of one man a great devastating deluge has been
spoken of as the flood. How much more, after the story has been handed
on through many generations of illiterate men, would it be exaggerated, and
then connected with the shells found in the rocks and hills around, be
measured by the submergence necessary to leave them there, and finally be
exaggerated into the world-wide devastation of the Hindoo or Egyptian ?
I saw in a recent periodical an amusing instance of how such traditions
might begin :—

‘*The inundation of 1771 swept away the greater part of the old Tyne Bridge,
Newcastle, and was long remembered and alluded to with emphasis as ‘the
flood.’ On one occasion Mr. Adam Thompson was put into the witness box at
the Assizes. The Counsel, asking his name, received the answer, ‘Adam, Sir ;
Adam Thompson.’ ‘ Where do you live? ‘At Paradise, Sir’ (Paradise is a
village about a mile-and-a-half west of Newcastle.) ‘And hdw long have you
dwelt in Paradise?’ ‘ Ever since the flood,’ was the answer, made in all simpli-
city, and with no intention to raise a laugh. It is needless to say that the
Judge had to ask for an explanation.”—( British Workman, Dec., 1875. )

The Greeks* do not seem to have helped our science on much; ANAXI-
MANDER made some curious guesses in biology, almost anticipating the
modern theory, but, as far as can be gathered from the scraps of his
writings handed down to us, they seem to be inferences from the helpless-
ness of the human infant, rather than results of observations on changes of
form in embryos or varieties on species.

PyvrHacoras, whether justly or not we cannot say, gets credit for a most
remarkable series of observations and inferences recorded by Ovip. The
sum and substance of it all is, that the land has often gone down below
the sea, and the sea bottom has often been lifted up into the land.
ARISTOTLE pointed out the changes going on now in a way that shows that
he at any rate.thought that, given time enough, many of the great and
puzzling phenomena of change of sea and land, and buried petrified fish, and
so on, would be explained. The Stoics borrowed from the Egyptians some
notions about monsters which once existed, but otherwise the idea of a
succession of distinct forms of life does not seem to have occurred to the
ancients. As there isa difficulty in speaking of Greek contributions to
Natural Science, because most of what they have recorded may be only
what they learnt from the Egyptians, whose treatises on the subject are
lost, so we have still greater difficulty in assigning to the Romans their
share of original work. Srraxo, for instance, discusses at large the views
of various Greek authors; Piiny seems to have set to work the right way,
and collected facts wherever he could, but did not show any great skill in
generalizing upon them. Arabian writers carried on the same kind of

Principles of Geology, vol. I., chaps. 2-4.

speculation as to the causes of the more obvious phenomena of nature, as
well as inquiries which they hoped to make more practically useful, such
as the astrologer’s art (always a favorite in the East) and alchemy, about
which the Chinese seem to have long held views similar to those of the
Arabs. And so we get down to the discussions which led up to the contro-
versies of our day. ‘The Italian swvants of the 16th century, among whom
was the great painter Lronarpo pa Vrnct, discussed with vehemence the
origin of the sea-shells found in the rocks, and loose material at high
levels and far inland. For three centuries did they dispute about the two
questions whether the fossils were really the remains of marine animals,
and, secondly, granting that, could they not haye got there in Noah’s flood?
Puor (1677) who we may say started them at Oxford, said that the shells
were produced by a plastic virtue latent in the earth. Lister (1678) wrote
a work on stones, *‘ which have a kind of resemblance to marine bodies.’’
Woopwarp (1695), who founded the Museum and Chair of Geology at Cam-
bridge, referred all the fossils to Noah’s flood. When, later on, the facts
that great and repeated changes had taken place in the surface configuration
of the earth was admitted, the great dispute arose as to whether the pheno-
mena were to be chiefly referred to chemical and volcanic or to aqueous
agency; and Werner, the Vulcanist, and Hurron, the Neptunist, started
a host of warm partisans collecting facts in support of either the Wernerian
or Huttonian theory. But facts are obstinate and independent voters, and
when brought up to the poll, although they favoured Hvurron’s views
rather than those of his opponent, they soon began to put forward other
representatives, when, in 1790, Wir1tiam Smitn, ‘the father of English
geology,’ began to put the science into shape by publishing accurate
tables of the strata and a geological map of England. Sepewick was a boy
of five years old, and only five years later, LyrLi wasborn. One of these,
the best observer and most eloquent expounder of geological phenomena
that England has ever known, the other the most clear and careful reasoner
upon all the facts bearing upon any point under discussion that our science
has produced.

Ilere, in passing, I may comment upon some remarks which appeared in
the Edinburgh Review for last July. In an article on ‘ Geikie’s life of
Murchison,”’ the Reviewer, wishing, we must suppose, to raise the relative
position of the hero of his biography by lowering that of his contempora-
ries, speaks of Lyrin as a retiring student, whose principal title to fame
rested on his early papers on the Belgian tertiaries. As well might he
wish us to believe that ‘TurruwALt was a retiring student whose principal
title to fame rested on an early paper on the irony of Sophocles. ‘The man
who stumbles across an inscription and publishes a copy of it is great ;
the man who writes a history of his country, founded on that and a
hundred other inscriptions, is a mere compiler. Lyet.’s title to fame!
Where is there such another scientific work as the Principles of Geology,
built up, too, on such an unconnected mass of ill-observed facts and
warped judgments? Where a better manual of anything like so large a
subject than his Elements of Geology? What a vast amount of original
observation is incorporated in these works! Lye organized the whole

19

system of geological enquiry, and often, when not disinclined to accept a
conclusion, had to tell us that so far the evidence was not altogether satis-
factory, and thus often, from having suspended his judgment till better
evidence was forthcoming, was accused of changing his mind, when he
acknowledged that at length the missing links in the chain of evidence had
been found. The same Reviewer allows that Sepawick was a man of
genius, but, as far as concerned the great controversy between him and
Murcuison, it was, says the Reviewer, a mere question of priority of
publication—the man of genius was, as usual, outstripped by the man of
method. Srpewick, pressed with university business, would not send in
his part of their joint work. They claim that Murcatson, through know-
ing his friend’s views, managed to slip his own into the press first—on
that ground they claim priority of nomenclature. That is not the sort of
thing I should like to claim for my hero. But we are not going to be
drawn off on that issue. Murcuison’s work was founded upon egregious
mistakes, and was wrong in principle, and it is still wrong, even now that
his supporters have been trying to make the best of a bad job, and altering
his classification and changing the original names of the rocks, till any one
who is not familiar with the ground can hardly refer to the old work by
the light of modern discovery. This is not the time or place to go at length
into the controversy, but I may be pardoned for alluding to a subject on
which I feel strongly, and on which I always have spoken, and always will
speak strongly, until justice has been done.

Now, where are we in the history of geology? a third of the way on in
the present century, and yet we find in the country that had perhaps been
most hammered of any in the world, that the order of superposition and
grouping of half the geological series had not been settled, and there seems
no danger at present that any of us will have to weep, like ALEXANDER,
that we have no worlds left to conquer. Among the questions for the
stratigraphical geologist we have yet to answer what are our pre-Cambrian
rocks ?>—Laurentian, Labrador series, Huronian, or sometimes one and
sometimes the other—sometimes none of these. In our Cambrian, what is
the most convenient grouping of the varying rock masses and peculiar
life zones about the Tremadoc and Arenig horizon? Where, in South
Wales, is the horizon of the Bala and Hirnant limestone? And here we
get within the reach of excursions from Chester.

We may ask what is the reason why the May Hill sandstone and the
silurian limestone are so ill-represented in North Wales? In the Denbigh
grits and flags, why are the grits chiefly at the bottom, and in the Conis-
ton flags and grits, chiefly at the top? Can we, in our North Wales hills,
fix the equivalent horizon of either the Wenlock shale of South Wales or
the Barminsdale slates of the Lake District? Then we have within excur-
sion distance means of estimating the amount of unconformity between the
silurian and next great group above it—the carboniferous. Have we, in
the basement beds of the mountain limestone, any suggestions of conditions
similar to those which existed in the Devonian area? What points and
what lithological character have we in our rocks from the horizon of the
Yoredale rocks of the north? Until we can answer these questions and
show the eviden7e in our museum, our work as a local Society is not done.

But though I have already cut out work enough for the lifetime of many
workers, that is not even the most important bit of stratigraphical geology
that remains to be worked out, and for the working out of which Chester
is the proper centre.

Great Britain had its mountains and valleys (many of them we can shew
were much in the same position as the mountains and valleys of to-day)
before all these red rocks of Chester were deposited. Where was the shore-
line? What was that old Continent like? On onesideof you, you have at
the base the Collyhurst beds resting on coal-measures, and called Permian ;
on the other side, the red beds of Cheshire, running up to the Clwydian
ranges and round into the Clwyd yalley, where their character and relation
to the carboniferous rocks are well seen. Here the lowest beds are called
Trias. The sequence of beds is exactly the same red sandstone, with a
little conglomerate at the base, followed by red marls, these succeeded by
more red sandstone. In the marls in the Clwyd valley, two plants—in the
marls at Collyhurst, a few shells. Now, between the red rocks on which
(and in a great part of which) Chester is built, and the red rocks of Colly-
hurst, close to Manchester, there is said to be one of the greatest breaks in
all the geological series—greater than the break between the lower new red
or permian and the carboniferous—greater than the break between the
carboniferons and silurian, for it is the break between the primary and
secondary, while those others are only between sub-divisions of the primary.
I don’t believe it. I believe it is quite insignificant compared with these ;
but this I will not go into now, only I would repeat that a local museum,
to do good work and help on science at large, as well as stimulate and give
interest to Jocal geologists, must be strong if not exhaustive in all the
evidence bearing on local geology. Again, over the Oolitic and Devonian
plateau—v.e., the plain of marine denudation which was formed by the sea
which cut off the tops of the crumpled Devonian and Oolitie rocks of the
South-west of England—the sea deposited strata referred to the Neocomian
period—what was going on in Cheshire then? Can we trace a series of
hills reaching up to somewhat the same level, or rising or falling steadily to
the north of the Blackdown pre-Neocomian plain? If so, what becomes of
that plain: Have we any evidence of what was going .on here in Miocene
times? When we come to the period during which there is evidence that
Britain was subjected to cold so intense as to give us massive glacier ice
crashing down from all the highlands, and icebergs floating in all our seas,
we have plenty of data in Cheshire; but here perhaps we get into the
period about which there has of late been most speculation and most
controversy. We have not agreed as to what happened, nor as to the
causes which produced the conditions which, to us living in this genial
climate, appear to be so exceptional. Some tell us that glacial conditions
are chiefly determined by the secularly recurring position and place of the
earth with regard to the sun ; others say that the geographical changes are
so much more important that the astronomical causes may be neglected in
comparison. Some explain the occurrence of marine shells associated with
glacial deposits at high levels to the submergence of the land; others push
the sand and shells up the hill-side by the advancing ice foot. To test such
theories by reference to what you can see about your own home is the duty

2)

of a local Natural Science Society. You have in this neighbourhood an
older boulder clay, with fragments which must have come from the great
centres of ice-dispersion of Snowdon and the Lake District; you have
above that a series of sands and gravels, with shells which, with few
exceptions, are of species still found on the neighbouring coast ; above that
more clays, often with boulders from distant mountains, What does this
mean? Have you here the record of a warm interglacial period and a
recurrence of cold sufficiently severe to bring the Snowdonian ice again
into the vales of Clwyd and Dee? or has the upper clay derived its far-
transported boulders from the older drift, and therefore be in itself no evi-
dence of the return of a great ice sheet? During the submergence which
left the Moel Tryfaen and Macclesfield shell-drift the sea must have rolled
across from the estuary of the Dee to East Anglia. Has all the evidence
by which we might correlate deposits of that age in Cheshire, on the
watershed and in East Anglia, been swept away? There is much to be
done, but to do it we must have hard work on special branches and co-
operation among the students of the different subjects. I think I see in
the programme of the Chester Society of Natural Science a full recognition
of these principles. Special lines of study are taken by different sections,
but all are combined in one Society and one museum, and it seems to me
that good work is being done in each. Only one paper has yet been
published by the Society, but that is a collection of facts—useful to place
on record. Work done here and brought before this Society has often
been published elsewhere. Perhaps it will be well to make arrangements
for the regular publication of, at any rate, abstracts of all our papers, and
ashort report of all our proceedings. But great as is the value of the
actual work done by local societies in collecting and recording evidence
which helps to explain the phenomena of nature and so push on the work
of the world, yet it is not in this that their chief benefit consist—it is in
the effect of such pursuits, systematically carried on, in the minds of the
workers themselves. As far as mental training is concerned it is not of
such great importance to consider what we do as how we doit ; and though
the consequences of inexactness are more immediately and obviously
disastrous in some studies than in others, still in all it is sooner or later felt
that accuracy is the first requisite.

Perhaps in no pursuit have we so much opportunity as in that of Natural
Science of showing the true place of ingenious hypothesis, to explain
phenomena where data are few, and of appreciating the distinction between
that and proof depending upon how far we have been able to show that we
have eliminated all sources of error, and been able to weigh all possible -
explanations.

Let us then try to carry on our Society in the spirit that pervaded all the
work of him to whom this Society owes everything—whose loss, when last
I came among you we had so recently to deplore ; a spirit of fearless and
manly grappling with difficulties—a spirit of vigorous, prompt, and vigorous
carrying out of whatever was taken in hand—a spirit of generous and
hearty co-operation with fellow-workers—a wide range of interests—not
meaning by this, scattered desultory thought—but thought, like Narozroy’s,
ready to be concentrated at once where the battle must be fought.

ANNUAL REPORT, 1875-76.

THE Society still continues to prosper, and there has been a
large increase of Members, who now number 126.

Eleven General Meetings have been held during the last
Winter Session, at which Papers were read on the following
subjects :—

1875.

Oct. 22.—‘‘On Chemical Substitution” (illustrated by experiments), by
CLEMENT Hicerns, Esq., F.C.8.

Nov. 2.—‘‘ The origin and conditions under which the Boulder Clay of this
district was formed,” by Mr. W. Suone, F.G.S., of Chester.

»» 16.—‘‘On some of the causes which influence the present distribution of
Plants,” by Mr. T. BENNION AcTON.

Dec. 7.—‘‘On Frictional Electricity,” (illustrated by experiments), by Mr.
Davin JOHNSON, F.G.S., F.C.S.

5, 14.—‘‘On some of the chemical characteristics and physical peculiarities
of Mountain Limestone,” by Mr. G. W. SHRuBSOLE, F.G.S.,
1876. of Chester.

Jan. 25.—‘‘ A few facts concerning Suns and Systems,” (illustrated by dia-
grams) by Mr. WM. HIGGINS.

Feb. 19.—‘*On Coal Products,” (illustrated by experiments), by Mr. MILLs,
of Chester.

Mar. 14.—‘‘ Personal observations upon the Natural History, Climate, and
Peculiarities of South Australia,” by Mr. E. ROWLAND.

21.—‘‘ The influence of Smoke on Vegetable and Animal Life in the imme-
diate neighbourhood,” hy Mr. T. MIDDLETON.

» 28—‘*On Electrical Measurements,” (illustrated by experiments), by
Mr. Harrison, of Chester,

April 11.—‘‘ On Magnetism & Voltaic Mleoinnatiy (illustrated by experiments),
by Mr. Davip JOHNSON, F.G.S., 5.

The General Evening Meetings were all numerously attended,
and great interest has been evinced by the Members in the
subjects treated of in the Papers, and in some instances inter-
esting discussions have followed the reading of the Papers.

The first Conversazioné of the Society was held in the Public
Hall, at Wrexham, on the evening of the 15th February last.
There was a large attendance of Members and their friends.
The Committee have to thank many of the friends of the Society

37

for their kindness in lending collections of scientific interest for
the Conversazioné ; and their thanks are especially due to those
Members of the Chester Society who kindly attended and
exhibited their microscopic and other instructive apparatus and
objects. The Committee again feel it their duty to acknowledge
the obligation they are under to those Members of the Chester
Society who have read Papers to the Wrexham Society during
the past session.

Part of the funds of the Society have been expended in the
purchase of physical apparatus, so as to enable the Papers on
Physics to be adequately illustrated, and it is hoped to render
the apparatus more complete.

It has been resolved that Sectional Meetings, as well as the
ordinary General Meetings, shall be held in the ensuing Winter
Session; and the work of the Society will, for the future, be
divided into two Sections, one called the Physical and Chemical.
the other the Biological and Geological.

The Committee trust that an increased number of Members
will become workers, and take an active part in the practical
work of the Sections.

ANNUAL REPORT.

In presenting the Sixth Annual Report to the Members of the
** Chester Society of Natural Science,’ the Committee have great
pleasure in stating that the past year has been one of uninter-
rupted prosperity and work. ‘This testifies to the fact that science
and scientific pursuits still keep a steady hold on the general
interest. The number of Members now on the books is 610.
Since the last Annual Meeting we have elected 2 Honorary
Members and 98 Ordinary Members. We have lost by death
and removal 64 Ordinary Members. At this time last year we
had a total of 576 Members, which shews an increase of 34,
which is satisfactory.

During the past winter the Kingsley Memorial Committee
have met frequently under the able direction of the President,
Professor T. McKenny Hucues. The draft of a Trust Deed has
been drawn up, stating the names of the Trustees aud the pur-
poses to which the fund will be devoted. This Trust Deed will
shortly be placed before the subscribers, and, if sanctioned by
them, will immediately be put in execution. The consideration
of this Trust Deed occupied much time, as the Committee felt the
responsibility, and were anxious so to arrange, in regard both to

_ the Prize and Medal, that as time went on there might be security

that neither Prize or Medal should be diverted from the original
object sought to be attained—viz., the encouragement of work
and workers in Natural Science connected with this district.
The extent of the district had to be carefully considered and
its boundaries defined. These boundaries are now somewhat

6

enlarged, and, as now laid down, will be submitted to a Meeting
shortly to be called. The die for the Medal will be finished this
summer, and the Committee hope to have everything in order so
as to offer the prize for competition next year. An Abstract of the
Accounts of this Fund is printed at the end of this Report.

The Library is in good order. A new bookcase has been
purchased, and several donations of books received, amongst them
one from Mrs. Kinesuey, ‘* The Memorials of her late Husband,”
in 2 yols.; these volumes, which contain Mrs. Kinasiey’s dedica-
tion to our Society, will always be kept as of especial value.

With regard to the Museum, many gifts have been received,
particularly some fine slabs from the Storton Quarries, presented
by Mr. J. Mayer, F.S.A., &c., of Bebbington, and Lapy Frost.
In addition to these, contributions have been received from the
representatives of the late Miss Porrs, 68 specimens: from
Mr. Ruppy, 31; andfrom Mr. Surupsore, 29. We have also to
acknowledge gifts from the PresipEnT, Mr. Price, Mr. Croveu,
Mr. A. O. Waker, Rev. M. Peter, Mr. Mitis, Mr. Wynne,
and Mr. Cross. Of these, 172 fossil specimens have been named,
and Mr. Srrawan has kindly arranged and named a case of 60
Minerals. A case of Norwegian Grouse has also been presented by
the Rev. E. A. Prrcarrn Campsetyt. The cabinet lately pur-
chased by the Society has been partly arranged and supplied with
local specimens of Lepidoptera, by Mr. A. O. Waker and
Mrs. Leatuer. This is a hopeful commencement towards a
collection of the fauna of the district; and specimens of well-
preserved insects caught in the neighbourhood, even when not
named, will be thankfully received.

A Microscopical Cabinet has been purchased for local speci-
mens, to which our microscopical friends are invited to contribute.
As a commencement, Dr. H. Srorrerrorn has given 66 slides,
illustrating the Diatomacez of the district.

A collection of Philosophical Instruments has been purchased
from the old City Library. These instruments have been cleaned,
and when some few of them have been repaired it is hoped they

will prove of service to the Natural Philosophy Section.

_——

7

The Committee have in contemplation the entire rearrange-
ment of the Museum, so as to render it, as far as possible more
useful as a place of study. At present, the cases are so placed
that it is impossible to get at them with any degree of comfort.
This has been owing to the fact that the large room has at
different times been used for lectures: this, in future, will be
discontinued.

During the past year a fresh element has been introduced
in the way of teaching. This did not owe its origin to the Society,
but I think we may say its success was, in a measure, assured by
the support it met with from our members. We allude to the
course of Geological Lectures given by Mr. Soxzas, under the
Cambridge University Extension Scheme. Here we had sound
consecutive teaching, such as would help to train up young
Geologists and so strengthen our Society. It is greatly to be

. hoped that we may again have the privilege of hearing Mr. Sorzas

or some other equally gifted teacher of science, during the ensuing
winter. This systematic teaching, by really competent persons
chosen by the University, has superseded, and it is hoped will
supersede the Elementary Free Lectures given by our Society; for,
although the University Lectures are paid for by those who attend,
they are at so moderate a rate, and of so valuable a quality, that
they well merit continued support.

It will be seen, from the Treasurer’s Statement of Accounts,
that although the income of the Society has been larger than in
any previous year, the expenditure has been so much in excess of
the receipts as to absorb nearly the whole of the balance with
which the year was commenced; this is, however, chiefly ex-
plained by the purchase of the bookcase and the cabinet for birds
and insects before-mentioned, both of which were felt to be
absolutely necessary, and which account for nearly the whole
amount put down for furniture and fittings.

The expenditure under the head of printing, Kc., also shews
a large increase ; but in this amount is included the cost of the
catalogue of the Society's Library, referred to in last year’s
Report, but which is included in this year’s accounts ; this, how-

8

ever, it is expected will be repaid, to a large extent, by the sale
of the catalogues. Another reason for increase under this head
is the larger number of Members, which of course necessitates the
printing of a larger number of notices of the Society’s Meetings, &c.
The same reason will also explain the increase under the head of
postages.
The more immediate work of the Society, for the sake of
convenience, may be placed under four heads :—
1. Excursions during the summer months ;
2. Evenrnc WALKS;
8. GenERAL LECTURES ;
4. SecrionaL MEETINGS.
There have been Eight Field Excursions, when the following
places were visited :—

The excursions have been well attended, and are, with many
of the Members, the most popular part of the Society’s proceed-
ings. ‘The thanks of the Society are due to those noblemen and
gentlemen who have opened their grounds to the Members on
many of their excursions. ‘The numbers attending the excursions
have seldom been less than a hundred, and the weather, with few
exceptions, has been favourable. Besides these Field Excursions,
which occupy the best part of a day, the Committee organized a
series of Thursday Evening Walks in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the city. These were fairly attended, and it is hoped that
the younger Members will, in the coming year, not neglect this
opportunity of increasing their knowledge of the local flora and
fauna.

A Conversazioné was held on October 3rd, 1876, at the Town
Hall. On this occasion we were fortunate in having our

9

President with us, who gaye a short address on ‘* The Objects
of Natural Science Societies.” One of the chief attractions
of the evening was an exhibition of deep-sea soundings from
the “Challenger” Expedition. The material had been obtained
by Mr. Survupsory and Mr. O, A. Reape, to whom the
Society tender their best thanks. Owing to the exertions of
many of the Members, all the rooms were well filled with
objects of interest, while several scientific experiments afforded
instruction and amusement. The rooms were crowded, and
if the number who attend these Convyersazionés is any criterion
of the appreciation in which they are held, the Committee
have every reason to be satisfied. The Committee again
have to thank the Mayor (W. Joxnnson, Ese.,) for placing
the Town Hall at their disposal.

Another Conversazioné was held at the Public Hall, Wrex-
ham, on Feb. 20, 1877. This was attended by many of
our Members, and they have to thank the Wrexham Society
for the kindness and courtesy with which they are invariably
received. The evening was a great success.

Eight General Meetings have been held during the winter
of 1876-77, when the following Lectures were delivered :

The attendance at these Lectures has been better than during
any former year.

10

The four Sections into which the Society is divided, have each,
in rotation, taken a Thursday evening, and at their Meetings
the following Papers have been read and discussed :—

BOTANICAL SECTION.
Nov. 9th—Opening Address by the Chairman, Mr. J. Price, M.A.
Dec. 1ith—‘‘ A Peep at the Pyrenees,” by Mr. P. H. FLercueEr.

Feb. 8th—‘‘ How to examine Flowering Plants, so as to determine their

Jan. 11th—‘‘ Notes on Collecting and Preserving Lepidoptera,” by Mr. A. O.
WALKER.

Feb. 15th--‘‘ The Foraminifera and other Microzoa of Limestone Rocks,” by
Mr. J. D. SIMDALL. e

Mar. 22nd—‘‘ Jottings on Localities of Microscopic Collections made during the
Society’s Excursions,” by Mr. T. SHEPHEARD, F.R.M.S.
GEOLOGICAL SECTION.

Noy, 23rd—‘‘ Salt: its origin and occurrence in the past and present,’ by
Mr. G. W. SHRUBSOLE, F.G.S.

Jan. 18th—‘“‘ Notes on some of the physical features of the Land’s End and
Scilly Islands,” by Mr. J. MILLs.

March 1st—‘‘ Notes on a Ramble in Eastern Switzerland, comprizing St.
Gothard, Engadine, and the Stelvio,” by Rev. A. S. GRENFELL.

April 5th--‘‘ How to Observe; being experiences in Field Geology,” by
Mr. W. SHONE, F.G.S.
NATURAL PHILOSOPHY SECTION.
Nov. 2nd—‘‘ Color” (illustrated experimentally), by Mr. D. JOHNSON, F.G.S.

Dec. 7th—‘‘On Thermometers, and their principles of construction,” by
Mr. G. WaTMoUGH WEBSTER, F.C.S.

Feb. 1st—‘‘ On the Physical Constitution of the Sun, as determined by recent
scientific investigations,” by Mr. J. MARPLES.

March 8th—‘t The Rain-drop, and some of its uses,” by Mr. W. M. Compr.

April 12th—‘‘On some of the Mechanical Properties of Air,” by the Rey.
W. T. Giuzs, M.A., F.R.G.S.

Most of the Papers read before the Sections have been
copiously illustrated, and the attendance good. The most
remarkable Paper read before the Society this winter was one
by Mr. Srppaxx on “ The Foraminifera and other Microzoa of
the Limestone Rocks.”” In this Paper Mr. SrppaLi announced
a real discovery; for, after most patient and laborious work
in cutting and polishing specimens of limestone rocks, he was

11

able to show to the Members undoubted specimens of Radiolarians,
and this discovery has since been abundantly confirmed by com-
petent authorities.

The Papers read by Mr. A. O. Waker and Mr. SHEPHEARD
have added to the previous knowledge of the local fauna; and
Mr. Barurte’s Paper on the City Flora shows that this depart-
ment is by no means neglected, and that we are likely soon to have
a complete list of the plants found within the City boundary.

The Committee now feel that they are in a position to publish
a second number of their Proceedings. The idea at present is, not
to publish the Papers read before the Society, but only such parts
of them as deal with observed facts. At the present day there
are abundance of Elementary Works published on all the subjects
which occupy the attention of the Society, and of course much
of already printed matter must necessarily be reproduced in our
Papers, even to the exclusion of lists of names These lists of
names, however, mark real work done by the Members, and will
always be of value, shewing at once the richness or poverty of
the district worked by the Society. We cannot promise that
the coming number of the Proceedings will be entertaining reading,
still its local value will, it is hoped, compensate for this deficiency.

During the past year there have been some changes in our
Officers and Committee. The Rev. J. L. Brprorp retired from
the office of Chairman of the Natural Philosophy Section ; and at
the first meeting of the Section Mr. G. WarmoucH WEBSTER,
F.C.S., was elected to the vacant office. In the Committee we lose
the services of the Rzv. E. L. Y. Dreacuz, who has left Chester,
haying been appointed to the living of Northenden. We have
to deplore the loss, by death, of Mr. G. Cross. Mr. Cross was an
able botanist, and a staunch supporter of the Society. He will be
greatly missed, not only as a sound and accurate teacher, but by
all those who knew his personal and unpretending character, and
who will feel they have lost a good and true friend.

Your Committee have met seventeen times during the past
year for the despatch of business, and they trust what they have
done has met with the approval of the Members.

ANNUAL REPORT, 1876-77,

ee

Tue Committee have again to report an increase of Members, the
number now amounting to 146.

During the year the Society has sustained a severe loss in the
death of its President, the late T. T. Grirriru, Esq. He was
one of the founders of the Society, and had been its President
from the commencement, and was never absent from its meetings
till his last illness.

At the Annual Meeting in October last, Epwarp WILLIAMs,
Esq., M.D., was unanimously elected President.

Only one excursion has been made during the year —namely,
to Glyn Ceiriog, June 13th, 1876. The weather was favourable, and
there was a numerous attendance of the Members and friends.
The Committee hope to be able to make arrangements for one
(possibly two) during the current year.

The Annual Conversazioné was held in the Public Hall on the
20th February last; and again the Committee have to thank
Mr. SHEPHEARD, and the other friends of the Chester Society,
who kindly attended and exhibited their microscopes. Much
interest was shown in the Thermo-Cautery, a new French surgical
instrument, exhibited by Dr. SrontErrotH. A compound pen-
dulum apparatus was also shown, and the physical apparatus
belonging to the Society was exhibited. The attendance was not
so large as at the former Conversazioné, owing chiefly to the
wretched state of the weather.

It has been thought advisable, each year, to devote part of the
funds of the Society to the purchase of apparatus adapted for the
lecture table, as well as for research. This year thirty pounds

he.

oF
By)

was voted for this purpose, and, by the generous aid of PETER
Wa ker, Esq., who contributed a further sum of twenty pounds,
the Committee have been enabled to enlarge their battery by the
addition of twenty Grove-cells, and to obtain a large air-pump, an
induction coil giving a ten-inch spark, and some other valuable
apparatus.

The Committee believe that the establishment of a physical
laboratory, in connection with the Society, would be an inestimable
boon to the Members, not only properly to illustrate the common
properties of matter, but also to bring experimentally before them
the modern discoveries in various branches of science.

Although the attendance at the General Meeting has been large,
the Committee regret that more of the Members do not come
forward with Papers, or help in the practical work of the Society
in some way.

During the year the following Papers have been read :—

ANNUAL REPORT.

Iv is with pleasure that your Committee present the Seventh
Annual Report of “The Chester Society of Natural Science,” as
in reviewing the past year they trace steady progress, and no
diminution of prosperity or of interest in the work for which the
Society was established.

The number of Members now on the books is 618. Since
the last Annual Meeting we have elected 78 Ordinary Members.
We have lost by death and removal 70 Ordinary Members.

Your Committee have, during the past year, completed all
arrangements with regard to the Kingsley Memorial; and at the
last Annual Conversazioné the subjects for the prizes for the next
three years were announced. The Kingsley Memorial Medal,
with the Die, have been received from Mr. Brrr. The Society
have had, in addition, six Bronze Medals struck, the first of
which was presented to Mrs. Kinestry, to whom we felt it
would be of the highest value, while, on our own part, we
would ever desire to testify our regard and respect towards
one who has so entirely held in sympathy and remembrance all
work set on foot by her noble husband. Appended to this
Report will be found both the subjects for which the prizes are
given and the rules which regulate the conditions under which
they are awarded ; “also an abstract of the accounts of “The
Kingsley Memorial Fund.”

The accounts in connection with ** The Cross Memorial Fund’
will also be found. ‘This Fund was set on foot to commemorate
the untiring scientific energy of the late Mr. Cross, and has been.
well supported by our Members.

Your Committee, with a view to the interests of Natural
Science, applied, some time since, to the Gilchrist Trustees for a
Course of popular Science Lectures. The Trustees, under their
usual conditions, responded to the appeal, and during November
and December six lectures were delivered in the Town Hall, kindly
granted for the occasion by the late Mayor (W. Jounson, Esq.) and
the present Mayor (W. Fartsu, Esq.) These lectures were not
exclusively for the members of the Natural Science Society, but
were open to anyone at the nominal charge of one penny ; but as
this charge would not have met the local and incidental expenses (as
seen by the Report), your Committee were obliged to issue a certain
limited number of tickets at 2/6 for the course, which were at once

taken. ‘The following is the programme of the lectures given :—

Nov. 6—* Life in the Earliest Ages of the Earth ” ............
By Prof. W. C. WiLu1aMson, F.R.S.

,, 13—‘ Energies within the Earth : Mountain Making ”
By Prof. P. Martin Duncan, M.D., F.R.S.

,, 20—‘ Energies within the Earth: Volcanoes”.......+-++
By Prof. P. Martin Duncan.

Q7—' The Ice Age” ...ssscceecesseveeneeeeerces Seeeeees By Prof. W. C. WILLIAMSON.

”

Dee. 4—‘‘ Physical Geography of the Deep Sea” ....++--++++
By Dr. W. B. CARPENTER, C.B., F.B.S., &c. &e.

,, 11—‘‘ Animal Life of the Deep Sea erevdonacwacen ... By Dr. W. B. CARPENTER.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the lectures were not
only popular but highly instructive, the subjects being treated by
men who have made themselves famous in their various depart-
ments of science, and who are masters in the art of imparting
knowledge. It is to be hoped that the Gilchrist Trustees may
grant us the privilege of a second course of popular lectures.
Such instruction, and from so thorough a source, cannot fail to
stimulate our local efforts, teaching us the value of sound know-
ledge, and the art of adapting language to the clear elucidation
of a subject.

The Society has purchased, during the past year, “ Bower-
bank’s British Sponges,” and has received several books, amongst
them, the Rev. H. H. Hrcerns’s charming little volume, entitled
Notes of a Field Naturalist in the Western Tropics.” The
Library is in good order. The Museum has been completely
rearranged, and the cases placed in permanent position. Thanks

it ete

a

(

to our Honorary Curator, Mr. Srraman, and to Mr. Survusso.e,
many of the specimens have been remounted and labelled, and
our fossils present a very different appearance from what they
did a short time since. Mr. A. O. Waker has made several
additions to the local collections of Lepidoptera; and Dr. H.
SrotrerForH has rearranged the collection of recent shells,
putting them in such order as to be of use to anyone wishing to
study the Mollusca. The Museum-room, however, is not felt to
be satisfactory ; as in winter, even with occasional fires, it is so
damp as to be injurious to the more delicate specimens. On
this account your Committee have in contemplation the hiring of
another room, to be used as a reading-room, and which, being
constantly occupied, would serve better for the preservation of
specimens affected by damp.

The Lecture-room has been rearranged and a substantial
platform erected, adding greatly to the comfort of the Lecturer,
while the arrangement of the room has been such as to give a fair
accommodation both for the General and Sectional Meetings,
without disturbing the Museum as in former years.

For the sake of convenience the more immediate work of the
Society may be placed under the following heads :—

1. Excursions during the summer months :
2. Evenrinc WALKks;

38. GENERAL MEETINGS;

4. Sectionat Mrerincs.

There have been Seven Field Excursions, when the following
places were visited :—

In spite of the prevailing unfavourable weather during the
summer of 1877, our excursions were well attended, and rain and

8

wind in no way damped the ardour of those who had made up
their minds to go through the programme arranged for the day.
In our last three excursions of the season we were fortunate in
having our President with us, who greatly added to the pleasure
and profit of the day by his knowledge of the country and his
kindness in affording information and explanation of the various
geological phenomena met with on the route. We have again to
thank those noblemen and gentlemen who so kindly open their
grounds to the Society, and it is to be hoped that our Members
will long continue to deserve this mark of courtesy and trust.

The Evening Walks on Thursdays have, as usual, embraced
all those points of interest which are within easy distance of the
City. The local botany of the neighbourhood has thus in a great
measure been worked out, while the observing faculties of our
younger members are thus cultivated.

The Annual Conversazioné was held October 2nd, in the
Town Hall, kindly lent for the occasion by the Mayor, (W.
Jounson, Esq.)

The large attendance of members and friends showed, as on
former occasions, that these réuntons are appreciated, serving as
they do the purpose of bringing before the public the different
pursuits and the various specimens collected by our Members,
while giving all an opportunity for friendly meeting. Thanks to
the kindness of the Dean the bust of Charles Kingsley by
Mr. Bett was uncovered in the large hall, and was there seen for
the first time before being placed in the Cathedral, where it will
remain as a memorial of his too brief sojourn amongst us.

At the Conversazioné we had a fine show of Microscopes, the
Members of the Liverpool Microscopical and Wrexham Societies
contributing their aid. -There was also a good display of
Philosophical Instruments, and, thanks to Mr. J. R. Epwarps,
of the Post Office Telegraph Department, we had shown and
explained the Duplex Printing Telegraph, and the Telephone.
Mr. D. Jounson, of Wrexham, showed the compound Pendulum
Apparatus, and during the evening distributed a number of the
exquisite tracings made by this machine. All the rooms were well

9

filled with objects of interest, and Mr. SHruBsoue had one rooni
devoted to small Fresh-Water Aquaria; amongst the larger living
specimens was a lox-bat from the coast of Africa, shown by Mr.
J. Price, and the Green Tree Frog, brought by Mastrr Ayrron
from Vienna. Your Committee had every reason to be satisfied
that their endeayours to give pleasure and instruction were fully
appreciated.

In December the Members of our Society were honoured by
an invitation from Liverpool to join the Associated Soirée, which
was held in St. George’s Hall, December 14th, 1877; this was
a most brilliant affair, being the result of the union of all the
Literary, Scientific, and Art Societies of Liverpool, and although
a first attempt in this direction, the success was so great that
there is little doubt it will be repeated in future years; those of
our Members who attended felt it a privilege to be present at so
grand a réunion of Science and Art.

There have been Hight General Meetings during the winter

April25th—Annual Meeting.

‘The attendance at the General Meetings has hardly been as
good as in former years, but this may partly be accounted for by
the fact that the Gilchrist Lectures were delivered during six
successive weeks of the winter session, which of course took up
the time of our Members and were a great attraction. Our
Lectures, however, were good and not too technical, and thus
interested many who cannot devote much time to any special
branch of Natural Science. The more technical work of the

10

Society is shown in the Papers read at the Sectional Meetings, of
which the subjoined is the list :—

These Sectional Meetings mark the real work done by the
Society, and it is encouraging to see many new names amongst
those who have read Papers this winter. In these meetings we
may say a decided improvement has taken place in the numbers
who attend, whilst those who are absent have an opportunity of

11

reading the Papers, as fully and accurately reported in the
Chester Guardian. The thanks of the Society are due to the
Proprietor of this newspaper for thus bringing their proceedings
before a large class of readers.

For the benefit of our Members and the furtherance of
education, Mr. Srrawan was good enough to- give, before
Christmas, an admirable short course of Lectures on ‘“ Mineralogy
and Lithology.’”’ It is only to be regretted that so few amongst us
had sufficient preliminary knowledge of the subjects to be able to
appreciate the amount of theoretical and practical knowledge
which he brought to the elucidation of a very intricate science.

In accordance with the promise made in the last Report, the
Committee have now in preparation a second number of the
Proceedings of the Society, anda list of the Papers to be published
has been sent to each of the Members. The expense connected
with the publishing this number of the Proceedings will be

considerable, and it is hoped that Members will come forward and

purchase copies, for it is in this way the Committee hope to
clear the cost without coming on the funds of the Society; our
subscription is very small, and is not more than sufficient to meet
our ordinary working expenscs.

There has been only one change in the Officers of our Society,
Mr. Jonw Grirritus retired from the office of Hon. Librarian,
which he had held for three years ; and Mr. P. H. FrercHer
has kindly undertaken the duties of that post. We are thankful
to say that we have no other changes to record.

Your Committee have met fifteen times during the last year
for the despatch of business, and they hope that their endeavours
to promote the usefulness of the Society have met with the
approval of the Members.

Norice.—Catalogues of the Books in the Society's Library, with
the recent additions, may be obtained from the Hon. TREASURER
or the Custop1an—One Penny each.

ANNUAL REPORT, 1877-78.

Tux Committee have to report that the Society continues in a
state of prosperity, for although there has been, in consequence of
deaths and removals from the neighbourhood, a diminution in the
number of Members since the last Report, there are still 132
Members on the books of the Society.

During the year nine General Evening Meetings have been held
at which Papers on the following subjects were read, viz. :—

1877.

Oct. 30th—‘‘ On Gun Cotton and other Explosives” (illustrated with numerous
experiments),” by Mr. G. WatmMoucH WEBsTER, F.C.S.,
of Chester.

Nov. 13th--‘‘On Ancient Deep Sea Life” (with illustrations), by Mr. D. C.

Davies, F.G.8., of Oswestry.
27th—“ On Air, Fire, and Water” (with experiments), by Mr. W. Parr,

1878. Ruabon.

Jan. 15th—‘‘On the Chemistry of a Candle” (with numerous experiments),
by Mr. Jno. MILxs, of Chester.

», 29th—-‘‘On the Section of the Coal Measures at Plas Power Colliery,
Glanrafon, near Wrexham,” by Mr. N. R. Grirritu, F.G.S.

Feb. 12th—‘‘ On the Telephone, its constr uotion and principles involved,” by

Mr. DavibD JOHNSON, F.G.5.,

» 26th—‘‘On the Anatomy and vigdilies of the Ear” ( illustrated by
diagrams), by DR. EYTON-JONES.

Mar. 26th—‘‘ Flowers and their Insect Visitors,” by Mr. T. BENNION AoTON.

April 16th—‘‘ On various Physical Forces” ( etree experimentally), by
Mr. DAVID JOHNSON, F.G.S.,

”

The attendance at these Meetings has been large, and the
audience evinced much interest in the subjects and in the discus-
sions which have in many instances followed the reading of the
Papers. The Committee have, however, still to regret that more
Members do not contribute Papers, or take a practical part in the
scientific work, which it is the aim of the Society to develop,
especially in relation to collecting information and working out
details of the natural history of the immediate neighbourhood of
Wrexham.

The Committee hope that the establishment of a Free Library
and Museum in Wrexham, which is now determined upon, will
give some stimulus to scientific pursuits, and that a physical
laboratory may ultimately be established, either in connection
with the free library and museum or with your Society.

ANNUAL REPORT.

>.

Tue Committee of “The Chester Society of Natural Science,”
in presenting the Highth Annual Report, have again to con-
gratulate the Members on the continued prosperity of the
Society. The number of Members now on the books is 633.
Since the last Annual Meeting we have elected 73 Ordinary
Members and 1 Honorary Member. We have lost by death
and removal 58 Ordinary Members.

The financial position of the Society is satisfactory, and
the details of the Income and Expenditure will be found in the
Treasurer’s Report. There will also be presented to the Members
a balance sheet of “The Cross Memorial Fund.” The Committee
appointed for the management of “The Kingsley Memorial
Trust Fund” have now to state that the objects of the Trust
are being carried out, and the awards, both prize and medal,
were made last year at the Annual Conversazione. The names
of those to whom the prize and medal were given are placed on
boards in the Lecture Room of the Society, holding out a
wholesome stimulant to the ambition of our Members, and
marking at the same time our respect for the Founder of our
Society. Your Committee, however, found in the practical
working out of the Trust, that some of the bye-laws were
unsatisfactory. These, after several meetings and careful con-
sideration, have been revised, and have been printed and
circulated.

As the standard of requirements for the Kingsley Memorial
Prize is somewhat high, our President, Prof. T. McKeEnny
Hueues, when last amongst us, offered for the encouragement

6

of our younger Members, prizes to the amount of £5, to be
competed for during the present year by those under sixteen
years of age. <A notice of these prizes, with the regulations and
other information, has been forwarded to all our Members, and
it is to be hoped it will be read, and that the consideration
which prompted our President will meet with the reward which
he most desires—a development of early industry and accurate
observation in the several branches of Natural History to which
he especially directs attention.

In accordance with the promise in last year’s Report, a
second number of the Proceedings of the Society has been
published. This contains many Papers on Natural History of
local interest, and is sold at the small sum of 2/6. It is much
hoped that Members will come forward and take copies, in
order to defray the expense of publishing, which must otherwise
fall on the funds of the Society.

Owing to the liberality of the Gilchrist Trustees, Chester
has for a second year had the privilege of a course of popular
Science Lectures. These lectures, your Committee feel, are of
great use in diffusing a taste for Natural Science, and we need no
greater proof of their being appreciated, than the way in which
the Town Hall (kindly lent by the Mayors, W. Fanisu, Esq.,
and L. Ginsert, Esq.) was filled on each occasion.

The arrangements for this second course of lectures were
similar to those made for the previous year. The following
programme shows the various subjects treated :—

Oct. 11—‘‘Microscopic Forms of Plant-Life,” ...............
By Pror. W. C. WILLIAMSON, F.R.S.

3, 25—‘‘ The Sun’s distance from the Earth”...........068+ By Pror. Coreg, M.A.
Woy. a8——s° DHE SUN? cic. sovncuctecsavegnsasers By RicHARD A. Proctor, EsqQ., B.A.

», 22—‘‘ Our earliest Ancestors in Britain”’............ses00
By Pror. BoypD Dawkins, M.A., F.R.S.

Dec. 6—‘“‘Insectivorous Plants and Plant-Digestion”......
By Pror. W. C. WILLIAMSON, F.R.S.

20—‘‘A Piece of Limestone”..By Dr. W. B. CARPENTER, C.B., F.R.S.,F.G.S.

>

As your Committee had the management of the local
expenses connected with these lectures, a statement of the

— 9 wo

7

accounts is furnished by the Treasurer, and it will be found
that there is a small balance remaining after all expenses have
been paid.

We may here record, with pleasure, a visit we received
last September from the ‘‘ Dudley and Midland Geological and
Scientific Society. On that occasion our Museum was thrown
open, objects of interest shown, and short addresses given on
points of local Geology. Our visitors expressed themselves well
pleased with their reception, and should like occasions arise,
there is little doubt our Members would again do their best to
contribute to the pleasures of the day, as nothing is more im-
portant than mutual friendly relations, and an interchange of
ideas amongst those engaged in kindred pursuits.

The Museum of the Society is in good order, and has re-
ceived many additions from the Presipent, Mr. A. O. WALKER,
Mr. Sarvussoien, &c. A splendid slab of Actinocrinus pulcher,
from the Wenlock Shale of Denbighshire, belonging to Mr. G.
W. Surussote, F.G.S., was shown at the Annual Conversazione,
and is at present deposited in the Society’s Museum.

The Library of the Society, together with the more delicate
museum specimens, have been removed from the Society’s large
room, which was found unsuitable for them, to a room used by
the Volunteer Artillery, and which is close at hand. Thanks
to our Hon. Librarian, Mr. P. H. Fuetcuer, the books are in
good order, and none have been lost. During the past year
we have obtained many additional volumes, both through the
kindness of Mémbers, from other Societies, and also by pur-
chase. These will be found recorded elsewhere. It is much
wished that Members would make more use of the Library than
they do at present. Ifit could be shown that Members were
anxious for a Reading Room, in which to see the scientific
periodicals of the day, an effort would be made by the Com-
mittee to meet this requirement.

A wish having been expressed by some of the Members for
a Botanical Garden in connection with the Society, the Sub-

8

Committee of the Town Council, who manage the Grosvenor
Park, met our Committee at the Park on October 22nd, 1878,
and they then very kindly allotted a portion of ground to be
laid out for this purpose. Owing, however, to the great
severity of the winter, and a change of park-keepers, this has
not yet been done, though it is hoped that before another year
has passed, it will be put in hand, so that the citizens, and
strangers visiting Chester, may see arranged, in their natural
orders, some, at least, of the wild flowers that adorn the lanes
and fields of Cheshire and North Wales.

We turn now to the more immediate work of the Society,
which may be placed under the following heads :—

1. Excursions ;

2. Eventinc WALKS;

3. CONVERSAZIONE ;

4, GENERAL MEETINGS;

5. SEcTIONAL MEETINGS;

6. CLasses FOR INSTRUCTION.

There have been Seven Field Excursions, when the following
places were visited :—

May LOU... ca saracesvoasvesuans Burras Moss, near Gresford

September 10th ...........000 Valley of the Clwydog

~ At two of these excursions, to Halkin Mountain, and also
to the Valley of the Clwydog, we were fortunate enough to have
our President with us, and we always appreciate the readiness
with which he identifies himself both with the pleasure and
work of the day. One of the most successful excursions, both
with regard to numbers and interest, was to Ellesmere. The day
was fine, and we had the leadership of our old and constant friend
Mr. MackintosH. The tea arrangements on all these occasions
have been under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Biake, and

Sat art

9

it has been found that by taking our caterers with us we have
fared better than when trusting to those at a distance, often in
remote localities,

The Thursday Evening Walks were continued during the
past year, and most of the old localities were visited, and it
is to be hoped that Members will still cultivate amongst
themselves a further acquaintance with the Fauna and Flora
of the immediate neighbourhood.

The Annual Conversazione was held October the 4th, in
the Town Hall, kindly lent for the occasion by the Mayor
(W. Farisu, Esq.) The Conversazione was one of peculiar
interest, and, as usual, well attended. We were fortunate in
having addresses from our President (Professor T. McKEnny
Hucues), also from the Rev. W. S. Symonps, and other
distinguished visitors. On this occasion, too, the Kingsley
Memorial Medal and Prize were, for the first time, publicly
awarded, and we all listened with especial pleasure to our
President’s gracious and befitting words when presenting to
Joun Pricz, Esq., M.A., the well-earned Kingsley Medal, by
which we hope to commemorate earnest and original research
in the fields of nature. For the Kingsley Memorial Prize there
were six competitors, all with much of merit in their several
collections, though the two best were from Miss H. Suiry and
Mr. E. W. Oxett. These were considered so equal that the
prize was divided.

In the room devoted to the Microscopes there was much
of interest, and a great variety of living organisms were
shown, as well as slides with prepared objects; and, in this
department, we beg to acknowledge the assistance we received
from the Liverpool Microscopical and Wrexham Societies, also
from the Rey. J. E. Vize, of Forden, who came over purposely
to show his series of British Micro-fungi. We must here thank
Caprain Bromrienp, Mr. James Rowtanp, Mr. Ruppy, and
many others, for their valuable contributions, which added not

B

10

a little to the adornment of our rooms as well as to the success
of the meeting.

The Liverpool Associated Soirée took place on the
31st of January, and to this our Members were cordially
invited. Those who were able to attend could not but be
struck with the vast resources of that great maritime and
commercial centre, which draws to itself so many treasures
from all parts of the world, and possesses a Museum, which
not only contains unrivalled specimens, but affords opportunity
for the study of Natural Science in all its branches.

On March 25th our Members had great pleasure in visiting
Wrexham, when the third Conversazione of the Wrexham
Society of Natural Science was held in the Town Hall. It
was decidedly in advance of the two previous meetings, thanks
to the energy and zeal of some of the members. The Physical
Section was well represented, and the instruments for illustrating
this branch of science may well make us regret that we have
not made further progress in the same direction.

There have been Seven General Meetings during the winter
of 1878-79, when the following Lectures were delivered :—

1878.
Oct. 31st.— Natural Science at the British Association in 1878,” by
Mr. Cuartes E. De Rance, F.G.8., &e.

Nov. 27th.—‘‘ A Problem for Cheshire Geologists,” by Prof. J. W. JuDD, F.R.S.

1879.
Jan. 2nd.—‘‘On the relation between the appearance of new forms of life
upon the earth and the commencement of a series of locally
continuous deposits,” by Prof. T. McKENNY HucuEs, M.A.,
F.S.A., F.G.S., (President of the Society.)

Jan. 30th.—‘“ The Genus Peronospera (to which the Potato Disease belongs)
and its allies,” by the Rev. JoHN E. VIZE, M.A.

Feb. 27th.—‘‘Is nature cruel?” by the REv. H. H. Hiccrns, M.A., (President
of the Liverpool Naturalists’ Field Club.)

Mar. 27th.—‘ The recent discoveries in Caves in Derbyshire,” by Prof. Borp
Dawsgrns, M.A., F.B.S., F.G.S., &e.

April 24th.—Annual Meeting.

The titles of these Lectures speak for themselves, and show
the variety of subjects which have been brought before the
Society. We regret, however, that the attendance has not been

11

so good as in former years; this is perhaps partly due to the
Gilchrist Lectures having come in to occupy many evenings,
while the severity of the winter has been such that many may
well have been deterred from leaving their homes. One Lecture,
however, deserves especial notice, that of Professor Jupp. All
who heard him must have been struck by the clear and lucid
way in which the Professor spoke, and by the vast amount of
original research he brought to bear on his subject. We trust
we shall again have the pleasure and privilege of hearing him,
and that some few of the hints and suggestions he threw out to
us as a Society, may not be without their fruits.

The more technical work of the Society is shown in the
Papers read before the different Sections, and of which the
following is a list :—

1878. BOTANICAL SECTION.
Nov. 21st—An Opening Address, by Mr. J. Price, M.A., Chairman.

1879.
Jan. 9th—‘‘ Ferns, Horsetails, Mosses, &e.: their study and collection,” by

Mr. J. D. SIDDALL.
Feb. 13th—‘‘ Germination,” by Mr. E. A. Grocorr.
Mar. 20th—‘‘ Grasses and Sedges,” by Mr. E. J. BAILLIE.

1878. ZOOLOGICAL SECTION.
Dec. 5th—Review of the past year, by Mr. A. O. WALKER, Chairman.

1879.
Jan. 16th—‘‘ Surface Dredging on the Dee,” by Dr. H. STOLTERFOTH, M.A.
7 :

Feb. 20th—--‘‘ Bee Culture,” by Mr. J. H. HARRISON.
April 3rd—‘“‘ Ciliary Movements,” by Mr. J. Pricg, M.A.

Dec. 19th—‘‘ The Sunbeam,” by Mr. W. M. ComBeEr.

1879.
Feb. 6th—‘‘ The Chemistry of a Piece of Limestone,” by Mr. A. JOHNSON.

April 17th—‘*‘ Dew, Hoar-frost, and Ice,” by Mr. G. WaTMOUGH WEBSTER,
F.C.S., Chairman.

In order to meet the wishes of some of our Members who
have lately purchased Microscopes, Dr. H. Stonrerrors started
a Practical Histology Class, on Feb. 11th. This was joined by
about twenty Members, who, during the six demonstrations of
which the course consisted, attended most regularly, and though
the time was short, many did good work, and all were on the
road to further improvement. Your Committee hope that this
may be the commencement of meetings during the winter for
practical microscopical work, since there is much in such an
important scientific instrument as the Microscope that deserves
special attention, and it is only when a person has thoroughly
mastered the instrament, and acquired manual dexterity, that
he can hope to be of use in working out special points connected
with the subjects studied by the different Sections.

To aid the Members in microscopical study, the Society
has now a cabinet and collection of slides; these are kindly
taken charge of by Mr. J. D. Sippaut, Bridge Street. Rules
have been drawn up, so that the Microscopical Slides may be
lent out to Members to study at home, and it is hoped that they
may prove a source of pleasure as well as instruction.

From amongst the officers of the Society we have to record
the loss of Dr. JepHcorr. He was one of the first who joined
the Society, and was on the Committee which framed its rules,
Up to within a very short time of his death he was present
at our Committee Meetings, and was an active Member, and
will be much regretted by all who knew him.

Your Committee, during the past year, have met thirteen
times ; also, there have been meetings of Sub-Committees for
special purposes.

18

The Committee, in again placing the Report in the hands
of the Members, feel very sensibly that it is to the Members
especially that they must look for a continuance of the pros-
perity of the Society. New life from within will be our only
sure strength. If we have the privilege of hearing, seeing, and
enquiring into the pursuits of others, this must not preclude
study on our own part, and, indeed, presupposes an interest
in subjects which are inexhaustible. We anticipate Papers
from many who, we trust, are working secretly and quietly,
only to surprise us one of these days by the fruit of their labour.

We beg to thank our Members for the support they have
always given to the Committee, and we trust we shall continue
to carry out the objects for which our Society was established,
to the furtherance of its true interests.

Noricre.—Catalogues of the Books in the Society's Library, with
the recent additions, may be obtained from the Hon. TREASURER
or the Custoptan— One Penny each.

The Inbrary ts open to Members of the Society, for the issue of
Books, every Thursday, from Two to Four o’ Clock; Books
may also be obtained at any of the Evening Meetings.

ANNUAL REPORT, 1878-79.

—_—— ++

Tux Committee are still able to report that the Society continues
to flourish. There have been, during the year, Ten General
Evening Meetings at which Lectures have been delivered and
Papers read on the following subjects, viz. :—

1878
Oct. 29th—‘‘On the Lungs and Respiration—The Heart and Circulation—
Their comparative Mechanism considered, Anatomically and
Physiologically, in Man, Animals, Fishes, Reptiles, Insects, and
Vegetable Life,” by the President of the Society, Dr. WILLIAMS.

Nov. 12th—‘‘ Is Life to be explained by Modern Chemico-Physical Views and
Theories,” by Mr. W. H. KENNEDY.

26th—‘“ Is Life to be explained by Modern Chemico-Physical Views and
Theories,” (second paper) by Mr. W. H. KENNEDY.

Dec. 2nd—‘* An Introduction to the Study of Mollusca ” (illustrated by
diagrams), by Dz. STOLTERFOTH, M.A., of Chester.

13th—‘‘ Scientific results of the late British Arctic Expedition under
CAPTAIN Stn GEORGE NaRes, R.N.,” by Mr. CHARLES E. DE
1879. Rance, F.G.S., Asso. Inst. C.E., of H. M. Geological Survey, &c.

Feb. 11th—“ On the Polarization of Light” (ilustrated by experiments), by
Mr. Davip JOHNSON, F.G.S.

18th—‘' An Introduction to the Study of Ferns, Mosses, &e.,” by Mr. J.
D. SIDDALL, Chester.

March 4th—‘‘ On the Polarization of Light,” second paper (illustrated by experi-
ments) by Mz. Davip JouNsON, F.C.S.

,, 11th—“ On Digestion” ( illustrated by diagrams), by DR. EyToN-JONES.
April 8th—‘ Our Local British Birds,” by Mr. P. MIDDLETON.

”

There has been no falling off in the attendance at these Meet-
ings, but the interest in practical work taken by the Members is
still confined to very few, and the Committee feel that, in this
important respect, there is still very much to be desired.

36

An Excursion of the Society to the Eglwyseg Rocks and
Llangollen, in August last, was numerously attended, and
although the weather was somewhat unfavourable, the excursion

was a pleasant one.

The Third Conversazione of the Society was held on the 25th
of March, and the Committee have to express their thanks for the
assistance they received from numerous friends who exhibited—
and in many instances attended to explain—objects and apparatus.
The display of Physical Instruments was especially noteworthy,
and may be considered highly creditable for a town of the size of
Wrexham. Much of the success of the evening was owing to the
fine display of Microscopes by the gentlemen of the Chester
Society, who also contributed numerous objects of interest in
other departments. The distinctive feature of the evening was,
however, the display of modern modes of lighting; and the
Committee have much pleasure in acknowledging the valuable
contributions to this department made by the Wrexham Gas Light
Company, who went to considerable expense in exhibiting the
most recent improvements in gas illuminations. The display of
the Electric Light and of the Oxy-Hydrogen Lime Light by
Mr. Davin Jonnson was very brilliant, and the means thus
afforded of comparison between the different modes of lighting
excited great interest.

ANNUAL REPORT.

Your Committee, in presenting this their Ninth Annual Report,
can again speak with satisfaction of the position held by the
Society. We no longer expect large accessions to our numbers
or any marked events altering the constitution of a Society
whose object is the furtherance of scientific research ; quiet
work in the vast fields of Natural Science, done perhaps in out-
of-the-way corners, is the most we should look for, and in this
it is to be hoped our Society shows to the best advantage. As
these reports profess to give a short summary of the events of
the year, and as our prosperity depends to a certain degree on
our numbers, we are happy to state that we have now on the

books 591 Members. Since the last Annual Meeting we have

elected 53 Ordinary Members and 2 Corresponding Members,
and lost by death and removal 96 Members.

The financial position of the Society is yood, as will be
seen by the Treasurer’s Statement. You will also be furnished
with a statement of the “Kingsley Memorial Trust Fund” and
the “Cross Memorial Fund.”

In our last Report we mentioned a meeting held on the
22nd Oct., 1878, to take into consideration the establishment
of a Botanical Garden, but nothing was done in that year,
beyond the obtaining from the Town Council an allotment of
ground for the purpose, in the Grosvenor Park. It was not
till Sept., 1879, that the beds were ready for planting out,
when, thanks to the kindness of Mr. A. O. WaLker, they were
fairly stocked, and in the same month the whole’ ground was
marked out with a view to containing representative plants of

6

all the chief natural orders, two beds being reserved for her-
baceous shrubs and trees. During the past month labels have
been placed on the beds, giving the names and marking the
position of the plants and the seeds which have been sown ;
but there are still many plants wanting in order to make the
collection in any way complete, and for these additions we
have to look to the energy and kindness of our Members,
trusting that before the end of another year our Garden may
do us credit, and prove a valuable aid as well as an encourage-
ment to those who are studying Botany in its various branches.

During the past winter a course of Botanical Lectures has
been given in the Society’s rooms by Mr. Rosinson, under
the Science and Art Department of the South Kensington
Museum, and we can only wish these Lectures had been better
attended, affording, as they have done, a sound knowledge to
be tested by examination.

The attention of Members is again called to the fact that
the Society holds in its gift several prizes—the Kingsley
Memorial Prize, and three Prizes offered by the President.
We sincerely trust there may be many competitors for these
prizes, since the good is not alone with those who win, but in
the work itself, as every one who tries comes out a gainer by
so much added to his or her stock of useful knowledge.

The Museum of the Society is in good order, and some
new Cases have been purchased to accommodate the additions
which are continually being made to our Geological Collection.
We have now a few Zoological specimens and a small collection
of Vertebrate Skeletons, presented by Dr. H. Sronrerroru and
Mr. A. O. Waker, which it is hoped may prove useful to
students.

The Library of the Society has been again moved, and is now
under the same roof as the Museum. Many kindred Societies
exchange publications with us, and we have also acquired,
by purchase and gift, many valuable Works, which, thanks to
our Honorary Librarian, Mr. P. H. Fuercuer, are all well

ee =a es ee

Seeneeng F

looked after. It is also very satisfactory to report that the
books are in more frequent demand now that they are more
accessible to the Members. The question of a reading-room is
still in abeyance.

On June 19th Chester was visited by the Burnley Literary
and Scientific Society. The Museum was thrown open on the
occasion, and the Members from Burnley seemed to appreciate
the opportunity of seeing our local collections.

Turning now to the more immediate work of the Society,
it will be convenient to place it under the following heads :—

1. Excursions.

2. Eventing WALKs.

3. CONVERSAZIOVE.

4, GENERAL MEETINGS.

5. SecrionaL MEErTINGs.

6. CuLassEs FOR INSTRUCTION.

There had been arrangements made for the following
Excursions :—

May l4th........ Gorge of the Alyn
June llth ...... Broxton

June 26th ...... The Wrekin

July 16th........ West Kirby

August 4th...... Llangollen

August 25th ....Caerwys to Holywell

September 10th ..Southport (Winter Gardens and Aquarium.)

The two first excursions had 1o be postponed owing to the
state of the weather, but they were carried out a few days later
under more propitious circumstances. The days at Wrekin
and West Kirby were both somewhat showery, but our Mem-
bers, though few in numbers, braved the rain, and came in for
a little sunshine, rare as it was in 1879 The excursion to
Llangollen was on a fine day, and well attended. The excursion
arranged from Caerwys to Holywell had to be given up alto-
gether, as on August 17th the terrible flood occurred which
not only washed away the railway bridge at Llandulas, but so
damaged the Mold line that we had notice from the Railway

8

Company that all traffic was suspended. We had pretty fair
weather for the Southport excursion. Thus it will be seen that
the exceptionally wet season of 1879 affected us as well as the
agriculturalists, and the frequent putting off and changing of
days for our excursions added not a little to the expense, while
unfortunately it held back those who join us on these occasions,
and consider them as the most enjoyable part of the Society’s
proceedings.

The Thursday Evening Walks during the summer were
devoted to visiting spots within easy distance, and as Leaders
were appointed they were more regularly attended than in
former years, and would no doubt have been still better appre-
ciated had the season been more favourable.

The Annual Conversazione took place on the 2nd October,
1879, in the Town Hall (by the kind permission of the Mayor,
L. Givsert, EsQ.), and was certainly one of the most successful
ever held by the Society. On this occasion the rooms were
open for the first time during the afternoon as well as in the
evening, thus affording to those who live in the country, or
who do not care to venture out of an evening, an opportunity
for seeing the various objects of interest and beauty exhibited
on the occasion. We were fortunate in having our President
with us during the whole day, who stimulated inquiry by his
ready kindness in answering questions, and by his lucid ex-
planations ; adding, indeed, in many ways to the success of the
meeting. The great event, however, of the Conversazione of
1879, was the presentation of the second Kingsley Memorial
Medal to Sir Puinip pe Mapas Grey-Heerton, Barr., M.P.,
F.R.S., which took place in the afternoon, and in honouring
one so justly honoured by the scientific world, one so univer-
sally respected, and who has done so much for the advancement
of Natural Science, we felt ourselves honoured by his presence,
as well as indebted to him for the loan of most valuable cases
sent from his Museum at Oulton for the occasion.

During the evening the Kingsley Memorial Prize, for the

9

best Geological Collection, was presented by the PresipEnr to
Master Grorce SurussoLe, and the Presipenr gave his Prizes
for the best Collection of ‘Helix nemoralis,’ and ‘The
Leaves, Flowers, and Fruit of our Common Forest Trees,”’ to
Masters SHEPHEARD and Acron; at the same time giving some
valuable hints and instruction as to what constituted the real
value of any collection—hints which it is to be hoped have been
well noted for future occasions. For the first time a classified
arrangement of the objects shown under the Microscopes was
furnished in our Programme, and our Society was aided by the
Liverpool Microscopical and Wrexham Societies, to whom we
owe our best thanks. Your Committee also feel themselves
greatly indebted to many of their own Members, who spared
neither time nor trouble on the occasion, and to whose valuable
assistance must be -traced a large share of the success of the
day.

The Liverpool Associated Soiree took place on Dec. 10th,
1879, and many of our Members availed themselves of the
friendly invitation we had received, and were thus able to see
how matters were conducted on a. grand scale, and in a place
which offers so many advantages for the pursuit of Natural
Science.

There have been Six General Meetings during the winter
of 1879-80 :—
1879.

Oct. 31—“ On the Border Lands of Science,” by Tue PreEsmweEnt
(Prof T. McKenny Hughes.)

Nov. 27—“ Clay, its nature and uses,” by F. W. Rupe, Ese., Registrar

Rev. W. Houcuton, M.A., F.L.S., &e.

April 29—Annual Meeting ; “ Floral Defences,’ by Rev. H. H. Hieerns.

It will be seen, from the foregoing list, that our subjects

10

have in no way been deficient in interest, and all of them have
been so ably treated that it is a matter of regret that the
attendance has not been better. <M Gt

The different Sections into which the Society is divided
have had their usual Meetings, and the following presents a
list of the Papers read and discussed :—

Botanica SEctTIon.
1879—Nov. 6—‘ Winter Botany,” by Mr. J. Price, M.A., Chairman.

1879—Dec. 4—‘ Astronomical reasons for Changes of Climate,’ by
Mr. SAMUEL OXKELL, of Bowdon.

11

NatTuRAL Puitosopuy SEcrion—continued.
1880—Jan. 22—‘ American Storms: how and why they come,’’ by
Mr. A. Cottenerte, F.R.M.S., of Guernsey.

Mar. 11—‘ Spectrum Analysis” by Mr. J. H. A. Hatt, of Bangor.
April 22—“ Modern Theories of Colour,” by Mr. G. Watmoucu
WessteEr, F.C.S., Chairman.

MIcroscoPicaL SECTION.

1879—Dee. 11—‘‘ On a newly-discovered Diatomaceous Deposit in North
Wales,” by Mr. W. F. Lowes, A.R.S M., and Dr. H.
StottERrFoTH, M.A., Chairman.

1880—Feb. 5—‘‘On the preparation of Sections of hard substances,’
by Dx. H. StottEerroru.

Mar. 25—“ On Staining Sections of Tissues,” by Dr. T. S. Parry.

The Society is now working under five Sections, the latest
established being the Microscopical. The Papers read at the
Sectional Meetings have certainly been above the average, and
we welcome new names on the list of contributors as an indica-
tion that interest in our work has in no way diminished. Some
of the Papers have shewn much patient study and investigation,
joined with rare powers of observation. We especially note
Mr. J. D. Srppaut’s Paper on a “new Type of Rhizopoda,”
which in an enlarged form has since been published in the
Quarterly Microscopical Journal, with a series of beautifully
executed illustrations, also by Mr. Srppaty. The discovery of
the Diatomaceous Deposit at the Arenig, by Mr. Lows, also
points to the fact that work in the lecture-room bears fruit in
the open field. The Microscopical Section has only had three
meetings, but they have been well attended by those who are
in earnest about the work, and it is to be hoped that the study
of minute structures may prove a help to our various sections.
Mr. Sippatp has kindly taken charge of the Microscopical
Cabinet, which is open for the use of the Members.

Your Committee have met thirteen times during the past
year, for the transaction of business and the general arrange-
ment of the affairs of the Society, and trust they have so
managed as to secure unity and further the interests of the
Society.

12

The Kingsley Memorial Committee have again somewhat
modified the Bye-laws under which the annual prize is offered
to competitors.

There has been no change in the Officers or Committee
during the past year. A new Custodian, JosepH JonuEs, has
been appointed in the place of Mr. Prircuarp, resigned, to
look after the Museum and Lecture Rooms.

In conclusion, your Committee feel that while they work
for the general good of the Society, it is still to the great body
of our Members that we must look for a continuance of our
prosperity ; and while the smallness of our subscription is a
guarantee that vitality does not depend upon the purse alone,
we would urge on all our Members to seek out the talent which
in a measure is confided to all; for there are none amongst us
who do not derive enjoyment from the contemplation of the
wonderful things in nature and science by which we are sur-
rounded, though many of us have yet to learn the joy that
comes of quiet study and research, the rich harvest to be
gathered in, and the pleasant fellowship which comes of kindred
pursuits.

Norice.—Copies of the Society's Proceedings (No. 1, price 6d.,
and No. 2, price 2/6), may be obtained from the How.
TREASURER or the Custropian, from whom also may be had
Catalogues (with the recent additions) of the Books in the
Society’s Library, One Penny each.

The Society’s Museum and Library, at the Albion Rooms, Lower
Bridge Street, are open to the Members every Thursday, from
Two to Four p.m. Books may also be obtained from the
Library at any of the Evening Meetings.

ANNUAL REPORT.

Our Society has now completed its first decade, and having,
during the ten years, grown to its present proportions, your
Committee feel confident that it is now firmly established in
Chester, and that there is an increasing interest taken in all
matters that relate to Science ; still the large number of members
that are on our books must, to a certain degree, fluctuate, and
as the novelty wears off, we must expect to lose some few, but
as long as there is a strong nucleus of genuine workers, and of
those who really care for one or other of the pursuits which the
Society desires to encourage, so long there need be no fear of
vital decay.

Since the last Annual Meeting we have elected 54 Ordinary
Members and 2 Corresponding Members; we have lost by
death and removal 84 Ordinary Members and 2 Honorary
Members; and we have now on the books of the Society 561
Members.

The financial position of the Society is sound, and you will
also have submitted to you a statement of the accounts of the
funds which are managed by your Committee.

The Botanical Garden which was commenced in 1879, in
the Grosvenor Park—as far as laying out the beds—was last year
stocked with representative plants of many of the principal
Natural Orders. Owing to the abundance of rain the plants
flourished well and made quite a handsome show, and though
they were chiefly composed of what many people would call
weeds, still they attracted attention, and names having been

6

affixed to each plant, it is to be hoped that many outside the
Society made use of the garden for the purpose for which it
was established. For the stocking of the garden we were greatly
indebted to Mr. A. O. WALKER, and many members of our
Botanical Section.

With this Report will be printed a new Catalogue of
the Books of the Society. The number of books has been
considerably augmented, and it has been the object of your
Committee to select Works of Reference on each of the subjects
treated of by the various Sections. The books are in good
order, for which we have to thank our Hon. LiprarIAN; and
we are also much indebted to Mr. J. W. P. Epwarps for his
kindness and care in arranging the new Catalogue.

In connection with the Society rewards are offered suited
alike to the youngest student and the most advanced, and the
best return that can be made to those who so kindly offer the
prizes, is that we should evince some zeal as competitors. Last
year there were no competitors for the Kingsley Memorial Prize ;
this we can only trust may not happen again. Members are
particularly requested to examine the list of Prizes offered, for
even if they do not intend competing, they may know some
friend who holds back simply from a feeling of diffidence,
requiring only a little gentle stimulus to enter the lists.

The Museum is in good order, and many additional cases
have been added, and much good work has been done in the
arrangement of local fossils. A special gift was left by the late
Mr. J. B. SHONE, of fossil plants from the carboniferous lime-
stone near Prestatyn ; these are particularly valuable as occurring
in our own district, and being rare in other parts of England.

The Microscopical Cabinet now contains 250 slides, and
your Committee wish them to be freely used by the Members.
Slides can be taken out and examined at home, and the Curator
of the Cabinet, Mr. Srppatt, will at any time furnish informa-
tion as to the rules under which this can be done,

7

We now pass to a record of the Society's proceedings during
the past year, which we arrange under the following heads :—

EXCURSIONS. GENERAL MEETINGS.
EVENING WALKS. SECTIONAL MEETINGS.
CONVERSAZIONE. EDUCATIONAL LECTURES.

The following places have been visited during the summer
by the Members :—

May 13th ....Nannerch

june 4th .;.'...2: Vale Royal

June 23rd_....Nant-y-Ffrith and Minera
July 9th ...... Larkton Hill and Edge Hall
July 23rd...... Eaton Hall Gardens

Aug. 17th ....Caerwys

Sept. 1oth ....Eddisbury

Oct. 14th ....Botanic Gardens and Free Public Museum, Liverpool

On the whole the excursions were well attended, and in

most cases the weather was fine. For the purpose of stimulating
Botanical research, the Rev. C. WoLtLEy Dop, M.A., on our visit
to Edge Hall, very liberally offered three prizes for the best
collection of plants, and these prizes were respectively awarded
to Mr. McKercuar, Miss SHEPHEARD, and Miss SMITH. On
two occasions we changed our mode of conveyance—driving to
Minera; and, by the kindness of friends, we were towed up the
river by steam launches to Eaton. We owed much, on several
of our excursions, to the local knowledge and kindness of those
who acted as our guides; also, as on former occasions, to the
courtesy of those noblemen and gentlemen who opened their
houses and grounds to us, and it is to be hoped the privileges
so freely and graciously accorded, will on no occasion be
forfeited by our Members.

The Evening Walks were again organised last summer,
and guides appointed. We wish the younger Members would
avail themselves of this opportunity of becoming better
acquainted with the flora and fauna of their own immediate
neighbourhood. Old localities are worth careful searching year
by year, and often valuable results are obtained in this way, seeing
that there is no sameness in nature ; and if nothing else is learnt,
it is well to ascertain the changes produced by varying seasons,

8

Our Annual Conversazione was, as usual, a great success,
and took place September the 30th. The rooms were open,
as on the previous year, both afternoon and evening. On this
occasion we had the opportunity of seeing the splendid
collection of Water-colour Paintings of Fossil Fish, most kindly
lent us by the late Sir PuHitip EGERTON, Bart., F.R.S. The
great feature, however, of our annual gathering, is the exhibi-
tion of Microscopes, which has year by year increased both
.in number and quality. The examination of the objects”
has always been a source of much interest, but this year,
thanks to Mr. SHEPHEARD, MR. SippALL, and many others,
we were furnished with a classified catalogue, so that there
was much instruction to be gained over and above the
pleasure always to be derived from contemplating forms of
beauty and marvels of structure, which, but for the microscope,
would remain amongst the hidden things of nature. We have
also to thank the members of the Liverpool Microscopic Society,
and the Wrexham Society, for so kindly lending us assistance.
The collection of Lower Silurian Fossils, from North Wales,
shown by Mr. Ruppy, deserves more than a passing comment,
and it is to be hoped will one day find a worthy location, and
the collector reap the reward he so well merits by zeal and hard
work in the cause of science. ‘The collection of Paleozoic
Polyzoa, shown by MR. SHRUBSOLE, was one of great value, and
our Mountain Limestone is well represented? Miss MAssy’s
drawings of the Horse-Chesnut, bud and blossom in different
stages were for the first time shown, and thanks to the kindness
and liberality of the artist, they now adorn our Lecture Room.

In the course of the evening the Kingsley Memorial Medal
was presented by Mr. A. O. WALKER to our President,
Pror. T. McK. HuGuers. ‘The high position he has attained in
the scientific world, the real work he has accomplished in the
field of Geology, together with the kindly zeal and interest he
has ever evinced in the welfare of our Society, all marked him
out as a worthy recipient of a memorial which seeks to keep
alive the memory of our Founder, the Rev. CHARLES KINGSLEY,

Master A. SHRUBSOLE and Master H. W. Acton received the
PRESIDENT’S and Mr. WALKER’s prizes for two really good
collections of fresh-water shells, showing that our district was
richer in these forms than had been supposed.

One great use of the Conversazione is the bringing together
those who have common bonds of interest, and when it is seen
what some can accomplish, we can only hope others may be
induced to follow, and so lend a helping hand in the furtherance
of scientific education and research. We were again indebted
to the Mayor for most kindly allowing us the use of the
Town Hall. ;

It will be seen that each of the Sections has met four times
during the past Winter, and those of our Members who so
kindly came forward to impart their knowledge, devoting their
time to the interests of the Society, have proved by the variety
of the subjects treated, that they at least are steady, earnest

i" | er

workers. The Committee regret that these Meetings have not
been as well attended as in former years, though this to a
degree may be accounted for, by the fact, that great efforts have
been made during the past Winter in the way of Educational
Lectures, which we hope may train up a body of Naturalists
who will ultimately become a source of strength to the Society.

These educational Science Classes have embraced Botany,
Chemistry, and Physiology. The Botany and Chemistry Classes
have been under the Science and Art Department at Kensing-
ton, and the teachers have been Mr. J. D. Stppati and
Mr. W. F. Lowe. Both Classes: have been well attended, and
from the interest and attention evinced by the students, we are led
to infer that the results of the examination will be satisfactory,
and that many will pass to the credit of their teachers. The
lists, however, will not be out till some time after this Meeting.

Mr. J. Price has also held an afternoon Class in Botany,
but not under South Kensington. ‘

Ten Lectures on Animal Physiology have been given
during the Winter Session by Dr. SToLTerrotn, M.A., and
Mr. J. Taytor, M.R.C.S. As a beginning these have been
encouraging, proving that if a full course were given, such as is
required by the Science and Art Department, South Kensington,
a good class could be formed. A written examination was held
March 25th, which showed that the students had mastered some
at least of the elements of a new and difficult study, and we
are glad to name Mr. G. O. Day, Mr. E. OKELL, and
Mr. J. BECKETT, as sending in some very good answers.

Your Committee have met seventeen times during the past
year, for the transaction of the business of the Society, and as
far as is compatible with the interests of the Society, they have
endeavoured to meet the wishes of the Members, and trust they
have deserved the confidence which has been reposed in them.

There have been no changes in the Officers of the Society
during the past year, but all our Members will deeply regret
the loss of one of our first Honorary Members, Sir PHILie DE
Mapas Grey Ecerton, Barrt., F.R.S., &c. Not only did he

1z

lend the weight of his name to the Society in its early days,
but to the last he took a deep and lively interest in its welfare—
ever ready with advice or help. Only a month before his death
he wrote to Mr. J. Pricr, one of his oldest friends, regretting
that his many avocations away from home, and his domestic
ties when at Oulton, prevented his doing more for us, and being
present at our meetings. We all remember the very interesting
Paper he gave us in these rooms, and our Annual Conversazione
has never lacked treasures from his valuable collections at
Oulton,—treasures the result of long and laborious work ; for
amidst all his public duties he found time to cultivate a branch
of Geological Science, which had previously been little studied,
and of which he has left a lasting memorial in his vast collection
of Fossil Fish. We have also to mention, with regret, the
death of F. BucKLAND, EsgQ., another of our Honorary Members,
for, though personally unknown to many of us, he held a very
high place amongst Naturalists, bringing his talent and obser-
vation to bear on the living fish, thereby contributing to our
knowledge of their habits, and enabling us to make better laws
for the preservation of our rivers, which laws may materially
tend to the increase of our national food supply.

In concluding this Report your Committee desire ever to
encourage the objects for which this Society was founded,
while they feel confident in so doing that it is a means to an
end, the full value of which those alone will discover who enter
on real work. Our ‘ Pleasure Section,” as it has been pleasantly
called, gain health and enjoyment, and open eyes and hearts
alike, it is to be hoped, to the beauties of Nature; while the
mysteries of creation fill the searcher after truth, for truth’s
sake, with unbounded reverence and delight, and prove a sure
safeguard against anything like narrow-minded worldliness.

HENRY STOLTERFOTH,
M.A. Cantab., M.D. Edin.,
Screntific Secretary.

ANNUAL REPORT.

In presenting the Eleventh Annual Report of the Chester
Society of Natural Science to our Members, it is no small
matter of congratulation to be assured that our numbers and
energy have in no way been diminished. We have elected,
during the past year, one Honorary Member, one Corresponding
Member, and 79 Ordinary Members. We have now on our
books 620 Members, while last year we had 561.

The financial position of the Society will be placed before
you by the Honorary Treasurer, and this, I think, will be con-
sidered satisfactory; as also the Accounts of the Kingsley
Memorial Fund and the Cross Memorial Fund.

The Botanical Garden, in the Grosvenor Park, was last
year in very good condition, and of material help to those
studying botany in connection with the Science Classes; but to
keep the Garden in a state of efficiency, plants require renewing,
while new specimens should be added, and we hope that our
Members will assist during the coming summer in supplying
both these needs.

A few additions of local specimens have been made to the
Museum by Mr. WALKER and Mr. SHRUBSOLE. CoOL. EGERTON
has kindly presented to the Society a case of Minerals which
belonged to the late Sir PHitip EGERTON, to be held by them
until such time as the City shall provide a Free Museum; and
our thanks are due to Mr. Satmon for conveying the Case
from Oulton Park to the Society's Rooms free of charge.
Mr. Acton, Junr., and Mr. SHRUBSOLE, Junr., have also pre-

6

sented to the Society their collections of Local Shells. Both
these collections are valuable as tending to the increase of
local knowledge, and we shall hope to see further good work
in the same direction. ‘The general condition of the specimens
is good. There are still, however, Cases unfilled that appeal
for contributions to the industry of the Members.

Mr. STRAHAN, who has so kindly during the last few years
acted as our Curator, has been obliged to resign the office, the
Geological Survey having called him to another part of the
country. During the time Mr. SrraHan has been in Chester
and North Wales, he has done much to render the Museum
worthy of the Society, and it is with great regret that we lose
his services, which were always freely given, both to the
Museum, and also in connection with the Summer Excursions,
when his great knowledge of the country was invaluable.

The number of books in the Library has been much in-
creased during the last year, both by purchase and gifts,
particularly by the handsome donation of thirty vols. of the
British Association Reports, from Mrs. T. JoHnson. In no
direction can the Society’s income be more profitably spent
than in securing standard books of reference, in order to form
as complete a Library of Natural History as the funds will
permit. It is matter of encouragement that the number of
those who have availed themselves of the Library has of late
much increased.

Our Committee and Members feel strongly the necessity
that some effort should be made to place the City of Chester
in a position at least equal to that of towns of a similar size.
No place perhaps in the country ought to’ possess a Museum
richer in local specimens than Chester, situated as it is near an
estuary of the sea, and with the Mountains of North Wales
within our district. How this will be done, and if the City,
from the Museum and Library Rate, will help us, remains yet
to be seen. This much we may say, if the Museum and
Library Act be taken full advantage of our Society will do all

a ae

7

in its power to make a Museum and Library worthy of the
place. We certainly possess a good nucleus, and if the Museum
be restricted to local specimens and to collections for educa-
tional purposes, to the exclusion of foreign curiosities, it may
be kept within reasonable bounds, and be of real use. Starting
as we shall do late, let us hope to avoid the sorry exhibition
presented by many Museums which have admitted objects use-
less for purposes of illustration, and which are simply curious.
Real curiosities, of Jocal, have their place in special and central
Museums, and should be rigidly excluded from local collections.

The Society has now in full operation a series of Classes
under the Science and Art Department of South Kensington,
and during the past winter Botany, Chemistry, and Physiology
Classes have been respectively conducted under Mr. SIDDALL,
Mr. Lowe, and Mr. Cowar. These, we trust, may do as well as
they did last year, when the per-centage of those who passed and
took Queen’s Prizes was greater than the average throughout the
country. These Classes are of real value to the Society, training
up a body of Naturalists who will carry on its work when those
who now take the lead shall have passed away; and the energy
imparted by young blood must tend to keep alive the general
vigour.

We give, in the Report, a list of Prizes offered by the
Society. These Prizes have grown gradually in number and
value, and it is a healthy sign when there are many competitors.
This, it is to be hoped, may be the case next September, which
will show that there is zeal for work, and also that the liberality
of those who give the Prizes has been appreciated.

We now come to the more immediate work done by the
Society during the past year, and which we shall consider under
the following heads :-—

EXCURSIONS, GENERAL MEETINGS,
EvENING WALKS, SECTIONAL MEETINGS,
CoNVERSAZIONE, EDUCATIONAL LECTURES,

8

There were eight Excursions during the past year, and the
following places visited :—

It will be seen that many of these are old spots revisited.
It is as impossible always to find new ground, as it is impossi-
ble to exhaust old localities; and as we generally contrive new
routes the country becomes better known, and its resources
better recognised. At Minera we had the pleasure of our
President’s company. The journey was by road, and the
day thoroughly enjoyable. Our last Excursion of the season
to the Potteries, was a little out of our usual routine ; still, the
excursion was popular and instructive, and our best thanks are
due to the Rev. J. L. Beprorp, who took all the trouble of
the arrangements.

The Thursday Evening Walks, arranged for the summer
months, ought to prove instructive. Leaders are appointed who
do their best to make the walks interesting to any of the
Members who care to avail themselves of the opportunity of
increasing their knowledge of the district.

The Annual Conversazione was held Sept. z9th, 1881, in
the Town Hall, kindly lent us by the Mayor (C. Brown, EsqQ.),
when the rooms were, as usual, crowded. Unfortunately, our
President was absent, as he was attending the Bologna
International Geological Congress. With his usual kindness,
however, he gave us, on his return in October, a most
interesting and lively lecture, the result of his journey and
experience in all its freshness.

The Kingsley Memorial Medal was presented at the Conver-
sazione by Mr. A. O. WALKER to Mr. D. MacxintTosu, F.G.S.,
for his geological researches in the neighbourhood of Chester,
and as some slight acknowledgment of a life spent in trying

9

to advance geological science by quiet and patient industry.
The Kingsley Memorial Prize, for the best Collection of Cryp-
togamous Plants, was awarded to Mrs. Hopkins. * The
President’s Prize for the drawing of the Leaf, Flower, and Fruit
of the Horse Chesnut, was presented to Miss GRIFFITH ;
and a second prize, given by a Member, was carried off by
Miss Orton. For the best collection of Land Shells of the
District, the first prize was given to Mr. A. SHRUBSOLE; and
Mr. H. W. Acron’s collection was so good that an additional
prize was added by Mr. A. O. WALKER, thus, we hope, giving
a stimulus to local collecting. 5

The exhibition of Natural History specimens was good,
and the splendid collection of drawings of microscopic objects
by Mr. RocuFrortT Connor, contributed much to the interest
and instruction of the evening. The Council Chamber was
again filled with Microscopes. On this occasion the objects
exhibited were classified, which, as far as the general public
are concerned, may have appeared a disadvantage, as it pre-
cluded the massing together of the more attractive and showy
objects; but even this drawback, time will remedy, as the
instruction gained will lead up to a finer and more delicate
appreciation of what constitutes real beauty both in the Animal,
Vegetable, and Mineral Kingdoms of Nature. We must not
omit to notice that a bouquet of hot-house flowers was shown
under the Graphoscope. These were exquisitely arranged by
Mr. SELwoop and formed a glorious object.

The Society invariably consider the Annual Conversazione
as a great help and advantage. We welcome members whom
we do not at other times see amongst us, and have thus a means
of letting them see how our work is progressing, and that the
year has not been altogether unproductive of scientific culture.

There have been six General Meetings during the past

winter :-—
1881—Oct. 27—“* Notes on Italy and what she is doing for Science,” by
the PRESIDENT (PRoF, T. McKENNy HUGHES.)
Nov. 24—‘* The Denudations of North Wales,” by A. STRAHAN,
Esq., M.A., F.G.S., H. M. Geological Survey.

Esq., F.L.S.

March 30—‘‘ Excursions,”’ by the REv. H. H. Hicetns, President of
the Liverpool Naturalists’ Field Club.

April 27—Annual MEETING.

These have, on the whole, been fairly attended.

Each of the five Sections into which the Society is divided
have met four times during the past winter, when the following
Papers have been read :—

BOTANICAL SECTION.

1881—Dec. 1—‘‘ The value of local observation,” by Mr. J. Prick, M A.,
Chairman.

1882—Jan. 12—‘‘How self fertilization is prevented in kom. ” by
Mr. J. D. SIDDALL

March 2—“Grasses : Hints as to collecting and preserving specimens,”
by Mr. EDMUND J. BAILLIE.

April 13—‘“‘ Yeast and Bacteria: Their life history and mode of
development, including how fermentation and putre-
faction are caused,” by Mr. CHARLES F. FIsH.

ZOOLOGICAL SECTION.

1881—Dec. 8—“‘ Review of the past year,” by Mr. A. O. WALKER, F.LS.,
Chairman.

NATURAL PHILOSOPHY SECTION.

1881—Nov. 10—'‘ A review of the progress of Physical Science during the
past year,” by MR. G. W. WesstTeErR, F.C.S.,
Chairman.

Dec. 22 —** On Quartz, its varieties, and some of its uses,” by MR. W.
F. Lowg, A.R.S.M , Secretary.

1882—Feb. 9—‘‘ The chemical and physical properties of Water,” by
Mr. Epwin W. OKELL.

March 23 —‘‘ The signs of the Zodiac,” by Mr. W. VINCENT.

MICROSCOPICAL SECTION.
1881—Nov. 17—Conversational Meeting.

1882—Jan. 5—An Exhibition of Original Drawings, by MR. ROCHFORT
Connor.

Feb. 16—Conversational Meeting.

April 6— Conversational Meeting ; test objects with high powers.

The Sectional Meetings have been much better attended
this winter, showing that we have a number of members who
take an interest in the work of the Society. One of the best
papers read was the one on the Earth-worm, by Mr. A. H. FIsH,
showing great research and patient observation, with a power
of imparting knowledge to others which will ultimately make
him a very successful lecturer. MR. Cuartes F. Fisu has
also favoured us with a very interesting and ably written paper,
and we shall look forward with pleasure to hearing him again
on future occasions. There was also a good Paper read by
Mr. E. W. OKELt, on “ The Chemical and Physical Properties
of Water,” and as Papers of this nature entail both trouble and
expense, the members feel that there is a debt of gratitude
owing to those who undertake them.

It will be seen that no regular papers have been read in
the Microscopical Section; still the attendance at them has
been good, and the knowledge imparted has we hope been of
use to those who wish to use the instrument as a means to an
end, enabling them to pursue various branches of investigation
more accurately, so that, in future papers in the different
Sections, we may look for good results. The Cabinet of

12

Microscopical Objects kept by the Society for the use of
Members, and which contains upwards of 400 slides, has been
more used than in any previous year, which is an encouraging
sign.

Your Committee have met 14 times during the past year
for the purpose of transacting the business of the Society, and
as it has been their constant wish to promote and make efficient
the machinery by which the Society is carried on, they trust
that the Members will consider they have fulfilled their duty;
at the same time, they must thank the Members for having
always so loyally supported them in their efforts to spread and
keep alive a taste for the cultivation of Natural Science.

(Signed) HENRY STOLTERFOTH, M.A., M.D.,

Scientific Secretary.

ANNUAL REPORT.

One of the chief duties of a Society on the occasion of its
Annual Meeting is the review of the work of the past year, and
though, in the first instance, some few matters of business have
to be gone into, still, as our professed aim is the advancement
of Natural Science, we shall try to point out what progress has
been made in furtherance of this object, and what hope the
future holds out for enlarging our sphere of usefulness.

This is our twelfth anniversary, and there are now on our
books 612 Members. We have elected 32 Ordinary Members,
and one Corresponding Member ; and have lost by death and
removal 40 Ordinary Members, and, by death, one of the
Honorary Members, T. Morrat, Esq., M.D., F.C.S., F.R.A.

Next to the number of our Members comes the question
of finance, and this will be placed before you by our Hon.
Treasurer, Mr. Mitts, when we trust the accounts will be found
satisfactory, and show that your Committee have expended the
money entrusted to their care, with due consideration for the
welfare of the Society. The accounts of the “Kingsley” and
«‘Cross” Memorial Funds will also be placed before you.

And now we come to two main points which your Com-
mittee especially wish to bring before the Members of the
Society. The first is the great extension of the Society’s use-
fulness as a teaching body. Our Committee, under the Science
and Art Department of South Kensington, has had seven classes
in full operation during the past winter, viz. :—

ELEMENTARY BOTANY .........++0+.++MR. J. D. SIDDALL.

Mr. C. E. Stmpson, M.A.
ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY .......... {Ma P. H. OKELL.
ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY ........ ecceee-. MR. C. R. CowWApP.

Mr. F. GARSIDE.

MACHINE CONSTRUCTION ..cecececees

The number of students is 164, and it is hoped that all
who enter for the examinations in May will do well, not only
earning for themselves certificates and prizes, but also a sub-
stantial grant for their Teachers. It is principally by Members
of our Society that these classes have been carried on, and we
owe them a deep debt of gratitude for the work they are doing.
On their instruction the progress and permanence of the Society
will in a great measure depend. We have, however, to bear in
mind that the organization of these Science Classes, and the
growing usefulness of our Society, has thrown much additional
labour on our General Secretary, Mr. G. R. GrirFirH, and we
feel, if we are to retain his invaluable services (which we are
sure every Member must earnestly desire) some arrangement
must be made to give him assistance, and this matter is now
under consideration.

The second point we wish to bring before you is the very
obvious need now existing for a suitable building to meet the
requirements of the Society. We feel that it is little use making
valuable collections of local natural history objects if they are
in a few years to be scattered to the winds, or hid away in
cellars. A Joint-Committee has been formed, consisting of
members of the Committees of the School of Art, the Archzo-
logical Society, and the Natural Science Society ; and a plot of
land in Grosvenor Street has been obtained, partly by purchase
and partly by the liberality of His Grace the DuKe or WEst-
MINSTER, sufficient for the purposes, we think, of the three
Societies. We have now to see how funds can be obtained
for carrying out our project for a Museum and Lecture Rooms.
We know that the friends of the Chester Society of Natural
Science will do their best, but a good Local Museum will be an
acquisition both to the City,and County of Cheshire, and we think
we may reasonably look to both these sources for help. Chester
is rich in local Archeology, and anyone who now goes into
our temporary rooms will see that we already have very valuable
material at our command, only wanting proper arrangement
and space to do it justice. Liverpool and Manchester, with

eee eee

SS —— — —— e

their splendid general Museums, are within easy reach, and
with these we should not attempt to vie; but we should like
the strangers who so much frequent Chester to be able to visit
such a collection of things as would illustrate both the past and
present history of the City, and be a credit to all those who
further our undertaking.

The Botanical Garden in the Grosvenor Park is doing well,
and has been of much use in cultivating a taste for Botany, and
also for educational purposes. We desire to express our thanks
to the Town Council for placing the ground at our disposal.

Much valuable work has been done in our temporary Museum
during the past year by the Hon. Curator, Mr. SHRUBSOLE,
particularly in illustrating the Marine Zoology of the district.
The exquisite taste displayed in the arrangement of the cases
he has added to our Museum, and the intrinsic value of the
specimens, show that in Mr. SHRUBSOLE we have a Curator
both able and willing to assist us. Few people passing by the
estuary of the Dee would imagine it rich in beautiful objects,
which only wait the cultivated hand and eye to become a
“joy for ever.” A detailed list of the contributions will be
found appended to this Report.

The Library is in good order, and has been increased both
by gifts and purchases. Particularly we wish to mention the
family of the late Mr, THomas JoHNson, who presented us
with a nearly complete set of the Reports of the British Asso-
ciation from the year 1841. Some few of the volumes were,
however, missing, which have been supplied by the British
Association, making the Reports complete from 1841 to 1881.
These are of great value, and our best thanks are due to
Mr. Jounson’s family, and also to the British Association.

We go on now to the ordinary business of the Society,
which we class under six heads—

EXCURSIONS, GENERAL MEETINGS,
EVENING RAMBLES, SECTIONAL MEETINGs,
CONVERSAZIONE, EDUCATIONAL LECTURES.

8

During the excursion season of 1882, the following places
were visited :—

May 16th ..............wloe Castle and Woods

(MNCs TS bis.) scciatedefestad Trefriw

July 14th ..............Hope Mountain and Caergwrle Castle
August 2nd ............Blaenau Festiniog

August 29th ............Hilbre Island

September 13th ........Northwich

We may notice that the excursion to Blaenau Festiniog
was in every way a great success; not only were we favoured
with splendid weather, but from the varied nature of the scenery
through which we passed there was much to interest every one.
The vast slate quarries at Festiniog, showing in many places
magnificent geological sections, are always instructive to
students. The visit to Hilbre, though not leaving such pleasant
recollections, will long be remembered by those who went in
the steamer, and experienced all the troubles of the stormy
deep. Unfortunately, the time on the Island was limited ; still,
the visit was not unproductive.

It may perhaps be noticed that we have not had quite so
many excursions this last year, but having, as we think, set the
fashion, and so many trips being now projected, we are content
that Members should avail themselves of other opportunities
for seeing the country, and confine ourselves to planning a
few excursions, which we trust will be to the advantage of the
Society and students in general.

The Evening Walks have been continued during the past
summer, and the younger Members will do well to avail them-
selves of so good an opportunity of increasing their knowledge
and powers of observation.

The Annual Conversazione took place in the Town Hall,
on Sept. 28th. The meeting was in every way successful, and
the Society, on these occasions, has the pleasing office of
awarding to the workers of the past year a recognition of their
labours. The Kingsley Memorial Medal was presented to
Dr. ByeRLEy, who for many years, and at a time when his
subject was of little general interest, devoted himself to the

a EE

ee

9

study of the Local Fauna of the district. His book is of great
value, and was written from pure love of science.

The Kingsley Memorial Prize of £10 was awarded to
Mr. Gro. SHRUBSOLE, Junr., for Mountain Limestone Corals.
Mr. H. W. Acton received a prize for the best collection of
Umbelliferous Plants; and Mr. Gro. SHRUBSOLE, JUNR., and
Mr. G. H. SHeEaArFF, obtained prizes for collections of Land
Shells. The objects brought together came in no way short of
those exhibited in past years, and though it is only in minor
details that variety can be obtained, still the Society shows its
strength in being able to produce, year after year, so interesting
a display. For the first time in Chester the incandescent
electric light was shown by Mr. M. JouHNson, adapted for
the illumination of microscopic objects. If, at some future
time, sufficient power can be obtained we hope to show all our
microscopes by this light, and thus get rid of the heat and
inconvenience arising from the use of mineral oil. The rooms
were again open in the afternoon, giving our country friends
an opportunity of seeing our treasures, when it might be out
of their power to attend the evening meeting. The rooms in
the Town Hall are admirably adapted for gatherings of this
kind, and our best thanks are due to the Mayor, Sir T. G. FRost,
for placing them at our disposal.

During the past winter there have been eight General
Meetings :—

1882.
Oct. 24—“‘ Recollections of Charles Kingsley,”’ by T. HuGuEs, Esq., Q.C.

Dec. 1 -‘‘On some Chemical actions in relation to Geological changes,” by
1882. A. NoRMAN TATE, Esgq., F.C.S.

Jan. 3—‘‘Chlorophyll and Hemoglobin: their functions in Plants and
Animals,” by SHERIDAN LEA, EsqQ., M.A.

Jan. 25—‘‘ Switzerland and its Glaciers,” by the Rev. H. J. PALMER, M.A.

Feb. 8—‘‘ The Structure and mode of Origin of the Carboniferous Lime-
stone of Minera,”’ by PRoF. J. W. JupDD, F.R.S.

Mar. 29—‘“‘ The connection between Natural Science and Archeology,” by
Pror. T. McK. HuGHEs, F.G.S. (President.)

April 5—‘‘ Coal Gas for Lighting and Heating,’ by Pror. FRANK CLOWES,
D.Sc., Lond., F.I.C.

April 26—Annual Meeting.

10

The General Meetings have certainly been of a high ciass,
and in no previous year has a better programme been before
our Members The names of those who gave the Lectures are
sufficient guarantee that we were privileged to hear men who
were thorough masters of their subject, and the Lectures were
well attended.

The five Sections into which the Society is divided have
also met weekly in rotation during the past winter, and the
following is the list of the Papers read and discussed :—

1882. BOTANICAL SECTION.
Nov. 23—Opening Address—‘ Last traces of the Leprauchins” by MR.
1883. J. Pricr, M.A., Chairman.

Jan. 11—‘ An elementary view of Fungi: their structure and classification,”
by Mr. T. BENNION ACTON.

Mar. 1—‘*The American Water-weed: Anacharis Alsinastrum, &aé. ; its
structure and habit ; with Notes on the probable causes of its
rapid distribution over Great Britain, and its apparent present
diminution,” by Mr. J. D. SIDDALL.

April 12—“ The educational value of the study of the Science of Botany,”
by Mr. ALFRED W. Lucas, F.R.G.S.

All the Papers in this Section were good, but we must
especially notice the one given by Mr. Sippati. His subject
was of local interest, and admirably treated, and we have to
congratulate him on a discovery of great importance with
regard to the structure and functions of the Anacharis. We
look forward to seeing the Paper in print in our next number
of the Society’s Proceedings.

1882. ZOOLOGICAL SECTION.
Dec. 7—‘* Review of the past year,” by Mr. A. O. WALKER, F.L.S.,
1883. Chairman.

Jan. 8—‘ On Shells,” by MR. J. C. WARD.

Mar. 8—‘‘ The modifications of the Mouth and its Appendages, and their
adaptation to the requirements of different Animals,” by MR.
C. F. FIsH.

April 2o—“On some of the recent Land Mollusca found in the district, with
hints to Collectors,” by Mr. G. W. SHRUBSOLE, F.G.S.

The ‘“ Reviews of the year,” by Mr. A. O. WALKER, will
be of permanent value, and we hope to draw from them for

a

I!

future publication. All careful records of facts are sure to be
of use, and we only wish there were more willing, conscien-
tiously, to note down their observations, and send them to the
Chairman.

1882. GEOLOGICAL SECTION.

Nov. 2—‘‘On changes in the relative levels of Land and Sea along the
West Coast of England and Wales, with particular reference
to Submerged Forests and Raised Beaches,” by Mr. D.
MACKINTOSH, F.G.S.

Dec. 14—‘ Notes on a Geological Tour in North Leicestershire,” by Mr.
OsMonD W. JeFFs, Secretary of the Liverpool Geological
1883. Association.

Feb. 1—‘ Comparison of Glauconome disticha, Zons., from the Wenlock
Limestone, with the Glauconome disticha, McCoy, from the
Bala Beds of Glyn Ceiriog,”’ by Mr. G. W. SHRUBSOLE, F.G.S.,
Chairman.

Mar. 15—‘‘ Notes of rambles in search of traces of the former existence of
Glaciers in the Pass of Llanberis,”” by Mr. W. SHONE, F.G.S.,
Secretary.

The Meetings have all been fairly attended, and the dis-
cussions arising from some of the Papers have been both lively
and instructive. The Paper by Mr. SHRuUBSOLE would bear
careful reading, and we hope it will be published as contributing
to local Geology.

1882. NATURAL PHILOSOPHY.

Nov. 9g—‘‘The meaning of 12 o0’Clock Greenwich mean time,” by MR.
G. WATMOUGH WEBSTER, F.C.S., Chairman.
Dec. 21—‘“‘ The Mechanism of Speech,” by Mr. LoGEMAN, of Newton
1883. School, Rock Ferry.

Feb. 15—‘‘ Sights we never see and sounds we never hear,” by Mr. C. R.
Cowap, JUNR.

Mar. 22—‘‘ A description of the Minerals now in the Society’s Museum, and
formerly belonging to the late SIR PHILIP EGERTON,” by
Mr. W. F. Lowe, A.R.S.M., Secretary.

The most remarkable Paper in this Section was by
Mr. LoGeman, who showed himself a skilled teacher and
experimentalist, and though a Dutchman by birth, his command
of the English language was perfect, enabling him to give
play to wit and fancy, and at the same time impart solid
instruction.

12

1882. MICROSCOPICAL SECTION.
Nov. 16—‘‘ The limits of Natural and Microscopical Vision,” by Dr.
1883. STOLTERFOTH, M.A., Chairman.

Feb. 12—‘‘ Microscopic Illumination: The Electric Light versus Oil,”
by Mr. M. JoHNson, F.R.M.S.

The second number of the Proceedings of the Society was
published in 1878, and as much good material has been accu-
mulating during the past four years, we hope to publish a third
number, though in so doing we shall have to confine ourselves
to selecting from those Papers which more immediately relate
to the Local Natural History of our district. We have had
many valuable Papers, full of instruction, both in our General
as well as our Sectional Meetings, but these would not all
come within the scope of our publication.

The number of prizes now offered to Collectors of objects
of Natural History has increased: a full list is before the
Members, These inducements to make collections will doubt-
less be productive of good, for though the getting of a prize is
not the highest object in life, still your Committee feel that
often it is just the stimulus that is wanted to start those who
afterwards follow up the subject from a love of it, and reap
their best reward by having their minds opened to the marvels
and beauties of creation.

Your Committee have met seventeen times during the past
year for the purpose of transacting the business of the Society,
and trust that what has been done, has been for the benefit of
the Members and the advancement of Natural Science.

(Signed) HENRY STOLTERFOTH, M.A., M.D.,
Scientific Secretary.

Among the Marine Shells will be seen examples of Venus
mercenaria, Linn., the North American Clam, which were found,
last autumn, by the Curator at Hilbre Island. The larger and
older shells we know were imported and laid down, while the
smaller ones, without any doubt have been raised on the spot.
Whether they will continue to propagate on our coasts remains
to be seen.

Donations on behalf of the Local Museum have been
received from Prof. T. McKrnny Huaues, Mr. A. O. WALKER,
Mr. F. ARCHER, Mr. Acton, Jun., Mr. A. Srrauan, Mr. Ruppy,

KINGSLEY MEMORIAL PRIZE.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

*,* An error having crept into the notice of the Kingsley Memorial
Prize, in which it is said to be open to “any Member of the Society or any
Resident within the Society’s District,” attention is particularly directed to

ANNUAL REPORT.

IN presenting this, the Thirteenth Annual Report of the
Chester Society of Natural Science, we will, in the first instance,
mention that we now have on our books 616 Members. We
have elected during the past year 27 Ordinary Members,
2 Honorary Members, and lost by death or removal 25
Members.

One of the chief events of 1883, as especially affecting
our Society, has been the very successful and encouraging
Meeting held in the Town Hall, November 15th, the result
of which has placed us in a position of certainty with regard
to the securing of proper Rooms for our Classes and Lectures,
and the establishing and arranging a Museum of local interest
and value. This pleasing prospect has been brought about
by the united action of the Schools of Science and Art, the
Archeological Society, and our own Natural Science Society.
All these Societies were represented at the Public Meeting
above referred to, and their claims well considered and
advocated. The DuKE oF WESTMINSTER, who kindly took the
chair, headed the Subscription List with the liberal gift of
£4,000; another £1,000 was collected in the room; since
which subscriptions have been coming in, and our total is now
over £6,000. This, however, will not be sufficient to raise a
building which will be worthy of the Societies of Chester, and
we most earnestly ask those who have not yet subscribed to
come forward at once and assist in the work. It is by small
subscriptions from the many that great things have been
done, and in this case I am sure we shall not appeal in
vain to our own Members. After careful consideration by
the united Committees of the three Societies, a site on the
Grosvenor Road, next to the Savings’ Bank, has been

6

purchased, and it is very important that the building should be
commenced as soon as we have the requisite funds in hand.
The plans have been prepared by Mr. Lockwoop, and been
approved in Committee. All this has taken considerable time
and much work in the past year, and very frequent Meetings
on the part of your Committee.

As an educational body our Society has not been idle, and
in connection with South Kensington there have been held
Classes in

All these Classes have been well attended, and show that
our efforts are appreciated. "The examinations take place next
month, and it is to be hoped the students will do as well as
on former occasions. Although some subjects studied in
these Classes may appear outside the province of a local
scientific Society, stlll the thorough grounding obtained by
this mode of tuition precludes careless and profitless work, and
where a true taste exists for scientific investigation, we may
be very sure our younger Members will not only estimate their
present advantages in proportion as they advance in knowledge,
but contribute to the future prosperity of our Society, by efforts
on their own part to carry on the work which they have com-
_menced under its auspices. The number of students now on
our books is 170.

As a permanent record of the work of the Society is
necessary to its vitality, your Committee have determined to
‘p@blish another number—Part III.—of its Proceedings. The
pamphlet may not be popular in the ordinary sense of the
word, but as the papers will be selected from those which have
a direct bearing on the locahty to which our Society especially
gives its attention, they cannot fail to form a storehouse of
useful information which will be available to those who come

7

after us. It has been suggested whether it would not be better
to publish our Proceedings more frequently, in a smaller form,
and at a lower rate, and this while the subjects under investiga-
tion are still fresh in the mind; but as this is a matter of
financial detail, it will have to receive further consideration from
your Committee.

The financial position of the Society will be placed before
you by our Hon. Treasurer, MR. Mitts, and we trust it may be
found satisfactory.

The accounts of the “Kingsley” Memorial Fund will also
be brought before you by the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. BAILLIE.

The “Cross” Memorial Fund terminates this year. It has
been carried on for the last seven years to assist Mrs. Cross
in the education of a young and numerous family. A full
statement of the accounts of the past year, with a summary
of all the payments made during the whole time, will be placed
before you by the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. SIDDALL. The thanks
of those who subscribed to this fund are due to MR. SIDDALL
for the pains and trouble he has taken in seeing that the
money was judiciously expended, and it will be a general
source of satisfaction to know that we have thus been enabled
to help the widow and children of one who, in the early days
of the Society, did so much to foster a love of Natural Science.

Much has been done in our Local Museum by our Hon.
Curator, Mr. SHRuBSOLE, and there will be a separate Report
read by him on this subject.

The Library is in good order, and the Botanical Garden
in the Grosvenor Park is found of great use in carrying on the
study of Botany.

We shall now turn to the more direct statement as to what
the Society has done in the past year. This we consider under
the following heads—

ExcURSIONS GENERAL MEETINGS

EvENING RAMBLES SECTIONAL MEETINGS AND
CONVERSAZIONE PRIZES

During the summer of 1883, the following excursions were

made—

August 28th ..... Sonictaeeod,: Thurstaston and Meols

Out of the six localities visited, five were new to the
Society, showing that we have by no means exhausted the
neighbourhood, and fresh ground still remains to be broken.
Two of the most interesting excursions were greatly spoilt
by rainy weather, namely, to the Arenig Fawr and Cefn-du;
still, under difficulties, the programmes were fairly carried out,
and what was experienced of discomfort was in part at least
covered by the kindness we received at the hands of those who
pitied our misfortunes. Our last excursion, to Thurstaston,
was made in conjunction with the Archzological Society, and
was thoroughly enjoyed, though late in the season.

The Evening Rambles were continued during the last
summer, and on two occasions were extended, by taking the
train for a short distance out of the City; by this means fresh ©
fields came under observation. These rambles will be con-
tinued during the ensuing summer.

Our Annual Conversazione took place September 27th,
1883, and on this occasion the Kingsley Memorial Medal was
presented by our President to Mr. SHRussoe, F.GS.,
for the good work he has done in the district in geo-
logical research, particularly in regard to the Polyzoa of
the Mountain Limestone. The President’s Prize for the best
collection of Grasses was awarded to Miss GRIFFITH.
Mr. A. O. WALKER’s Prize for the best collection of Marine
Shells from the Shore of the Society’s District, was carried off
by Mr. C. F. RicHARDSON, with an Extra Prize to Mr. G. H.
SHEAFF. Another Prize, given by a Member; for species of

——

9

Planorbis, Spherium, and Pisidium, produced two such re-
markably fine collections, that it was only after a most minute
scrutiny that the award was made to Mr. R. WiLson; the
other collection, by the Rev. H. G, BARNactz, was highly
commended. Mr. RimMeEr’s Prize for rare Land Shells was
given to Mr. ALFRED SHRUBSOLE.

The new and promising feature of the Conversazione of
1883, was the printing and circulating in the room of a
detailed and excellent programme of the Microscopic exhibits,
in which, as far as possible, the objects under examination
were described and classified, so that those who took the
trouble to study the programme would obtain a fair amount
of useful information, instead of resting content with mere
forms of beauty well lighted, and presenting to the mind only
pretty pictures. For this programme the Society was greatly
indebted to Mr, C. F. Fisu for the trouble he took in getting it
up, and as it is proposed that it shall hold a permanent place in
our future Conversaziones, it is now undergoing careful revision.

The splendid collections of cut flowers, so kindly sent by
many of our Members, are now a marked feature of our show,
and we feel truly grateful to those who so liberally allow their
gardens to be stripped for the decoration of our rooms.

The Conversazione still holds a useful position, bringing
us together for a common interest, and we desire here to record
our best thanks to the Mayor, Sir THomas G. Frost, for
allowing us the use of the very convenient rooms at the
Town Hall.

The following General Meetings have been held during
the past winter—
1883. :

Oct. 25—‘‘ The Archean Land of Wales, Geographically and Geologically

considered,”’ by DR. Henry Hicks, F.G.S.

March 27—‘‘ Water Supply and Draining from a Geological point of view,”
by Pror. T. McKenny HuGuHEs, F.G.S., President.

April 24—Annual Meeting.

It will be seen that we have had six Papers read at the
General Meetings. On the whole they have been well attended.
Four of the Papers were given by gentlemen who had not
before addressed the Society, and who, by the position they
hold in the scientific world, have done us an honour in giving
us the result of their labours.

The different Sections into which the Society is divided
have also had their Meetings :—

1883. GEOLOGICAL SECTION.
Nov. 1—‘* Cementation of Sandstone, with special reference to the New Red
Sandstone of the District,” by Mr. SHRUBSOLE, F.G.S.,
Chairman.

March 6—‘‘Crabs, Lobsters, and Shrimps,’”’ by Mr. A. O. WALKER.

April 17—** Notes on Snakes and Snake Poison,” by DR. MACPHERSON.

It will be seen that each Section has met four times, with
the exception of the Natural Philosophy Section, which has met
three times. Four new names appear as having read Papers—
Mr. Mitn, Mr. Ricwes, Mr. Acton, and Dr. MacpHerson.
This is a good sign, and we welcome the result of fresh study
and observation. We must not, however, omit to notice, that
the work of the different Sections has been mainly carried on
by the Members who for years have taken a deep interest in
the Society, and there has not been a single Thursday Evening
Meeting throughout the winter without a Paper or Lecture.
The two Papers by Mr. Stppatt on the Microscopical exami-
nation of Milk and the Chester Water, were well attended, the
subjects being of more or less interest to every one; there was
a good discussion on both Papers, and the results arrived at
were satisfactory, proving that care and cleanliness are vitally
important in supplying these necessaries of life.

‘

Your Committee again wish particularly to call attention
to the list of prizes for competition, In addition to the larger
prizes, the Kingsley Memorial Committee has instituted a
number of smaller prizes of a Guinea each, to stimulate our young
collectors, who, whether they win or not, will be always the
better for having some honest work in hand. Our Hon.
Curator has drawn up a series of Hints to Collectors, which
may be studied with profit, and which are printed on the last
page of the circular of April 24, 1884.

In the same circular you may see that your Committee
have invited the co-operation of the Members of this Society,
in the nomination of recipients for the Kingsley Memorial
Medal, and if our Members will faithfully assist in this matter,
it will add materially to the value of the Medal, as the dis-
tinction will then be conferred by the Society as an expression
of their opinion over and above the fulfilling the conditions of
the Trust Deed.

Your Committee has met twenty-one times during the past
year, which, owing to the Museum Scheme, has been a year
involving much extra work and consideration.

It is hoped the Committee has done its best for the
interest of the Society, and in all matters connected with the
advancement of Natural Science in the district.

( Signed)
H. STOLTERFOTH, M.A. Cantas., M.D. Epin.,
Scientific Secretary.

MUSEUM REPORT.

The principal additions to the Museum during the year has
been in the Natural History Department. Substantial additions
have been made to the local lists of the Marine Polyzoa, and
Hydrozoa, and also to the land and fresh-water shells. Weare still
deficient in many species of shells which are known to occur
in our locality. I would respectfully suggest that the collection
of shells for the Museum might be made a feature of our
Evening Walks, and a record kept of the various species met
with in the several localities visited.

A few specimens only have been added to the Geological
Collection.

The collection of Minerals belonging to the late Sir PHILIP
EGERTON, Bart., have been classified, and some of the most
important specimens exposed to view. We are indebted for
this work to Mr. W. F. Lowe.

Contributions for the Museum have been received from
the PrestpENT, Mr. A. O. WaLkER, Rev. H. G. BARNACLE,
Dr. Hy. Tomas, Mr. RicHarpson, Mr. R. Witson,
Mr. Sippatt, Mr. NewstTeap, &c.

ANNUAL REPORT.

eo ——

In presenting the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Chester
Society of Natural Science it is encouraging to be able to state
that the number of our Members is still on the increase, while
in the steady working of the whole machinery by which the
Society is held together we have a proof that the interest taken
in Natural Science has in no way diminished. This gives us
good hope for the future, and the opening out of a larger field
of usefulness.

During the past year we have elected 44 Ordinary Members,
and have lost by death or removal 13 Ordinary Members.

The subject which has necessarily occupied a large share
of our attention during the past year has been the starting of
the new Museum. Your Committee have carefully inspected
the plans which affect the Local Museum of Natural History,
the Lecture Rooms, and the Class Rooms for science teaching,
though these only form part of the larger scheme which was
brought before the General Meeting held Nov. rsth, 1883.

Since the meeting, the Museum Fund, I am glad to report,
has been on the increase, and although we have not yet
sufficient to carry out the plan which has been fixed upon, as
likely to meet the requirements of the four Societies who are to
be represented under the same roof, still the General Committee
has felt justified in commencing the building, entertaining every
hope of its being satisfactorily completed. The foundation
stone was laid on the 3rd of February, by His GRACE THE
DuKE OF WESTMINSTER, and the Contractor is now hard
at work, and we hope to see rapid progress made during
the summer. This is the more necessary because we are
under notice to leave our present premises by next Christmas.
So much has been said of late of the educational advan-
tages to be derived from Local Museums, and so many towns

6

are now getting the start of us (witness the successful opening
of the Shrewsbury Museum and Free Library only this
month) that it is scarcely necessary to remind you that these
things are not brought about by words, but by steady effort
to aid, and often by some self-denial. Small contributions
represent an interest for the general good, as well as the larger
sums which are contributed from the abundance, and each
brick helps to build up the edifice. So we wait to see what
1885 will bring forth.

In our last Report I spoke of a third number of our
Proceedings as being under the consideration of the Committee.
It is now nearly ready and would have been out before this
time, if it had not been for the plates, which are still in the
hands of the Engraver. This work takes time, if it be well
done. It is hoped there will be a good sale of the new number,
as it is a useful record of research made in the district

Under the auspices of Pror. HERDMAN, of the Liverpool
University, there is a proposal for an exhaustive examination of
the Fauna and Flora of the Sea from Liverpool to the Isle of
Man and the Orme’s Head. This includes part of the district
worked by our Society. Our Members are especially invited to
co-operate in the scheme, which will commence next month
and be carried on during the summer. ProF. HERDMAN
proposes to publish complete lists of the plants and animals
found in this part of the sea and its adjacent shores.

The Chester School of Science has been doing good work
during the past winter. Classes have been held in the following
subjects :-—

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY .........-05 Mr. W. F. Lowe
BOTAN § ccaniee teers oo hanes oo eos NER. Je, Dp SUDDATIS
ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY............4. Mr. C. R. Cowap, Jun.
MECHANICAL DRAWING..........

MIAH MIATIGS oo van oa susiein sisi oy0ep Mr. F. GARSIDE

APPLIED MECHANICS AND STEAM

The total number of Students attending these classes is 174.
The results obtained at the last examinations were highly

7

satisfactory, showing that the teaching was good and sound,
and likely to be of practical use.

The importance of technical education is now universally
acknowledged, and when we have good Class Rooms in our
new Museum, the School of Science will be better able to carry
out the programme laid down by South Kensington.

With regard to the finances of our Society, our Treasurer,
Mr. Mitts, will place before you the Balance Sheet, which I
know will be satisfactory under his able management. The
accounts of the “‘ Kingsley” Memorial Fund will also be placed
before you by the Treasurer, Mr. E. J. BaiLie.

The Library is in good order and has been increased by
purchases, exchanges, and donations. A list of the new Books
will be appended to this Report.

Mr. SHRuBSOLE, the Hon. Curator of the Museum, will
read you his Report.

The Botanic Garden in the Grosvenor Park, thanks to the
Town Council, is still available for the purpose of instruction,
and has been very useful to the Botanical Science Class, as
well as to our own Members.

The brief record of what has been done by our Society
during the past year may be considered under the following
heads—

EXCURSIONS GENERAL LECTURES
EVENING RAMBLES SECTIONAL MEETINGS
CoNVERSAZIONE ! PRIZES

During the past summer six field excursions were arranged
and the following places visited—

We have again to thank those noblemen and gentlemen
who kindly open their grounds to us, and who offer facilities for

8

obtaining rooms where we can take our refreshments. There
was a good attendance at most of the excursions. It is of
course difficult to state exactly the work done on these occasions.
The Leaders of the party can only point out the general features
of scientific interest in the country passed through, while those
who have any special pursuit are sure to find their reward in
the hunting up of quiet nooks and corners—their enthusiasm
often proving infectious. It is no small advantage that we
always take with us a ‘“‘pleasure section’”’—a proof that we
welcome the return of spring and summer with grateful hearts.

Our Evening Rambles were again continued in 1884. In
some instances short journeys by train took us to lanes and
fields and ponds in freer air, and less frequented than the
immediate neighbourhood of the City. These short trips were
well appreciated, attracting even larger numbers than our more
distant and elaborately planned excursions. The Committee
hope to continue the Evening Rambles this year.

In the month of September the City of Chester was visited
by the Iron and Steel Institute—a body composed of men not
only interested in an important mercantile business, but also in
the scientific bearings of their industry. It also numbers
amongst its members some very distinguished naturalists, and
to secure their presence amongst us, your Committee were glad
to arrange their Annual Conversazione for September 25th.
By the kindness of the Mayor (CHARLES Brown, EsqQ.), the
Town Hall was again placed at our disposal. We invited for
the occasion various manufacturers of the district to exhibit
both the processes of their manufactures and also the results,
thus giving to our Annual Meeting a somewhat new feature.
The microscopes, scientific instruments, and objects of Natural
History were not wanting. A short Hand-book of Natural
History, prepared by Mr. Cuarrzs Fisu for our microscope
exhibitions, was again brought into use, and will be found
highly valuable by our Members. The Conversazione was
argely attended, and it is hoped gave pleasure to our own

eo Oe

9

Members as well as to our guests. At this meeting it is the
custom to present the various prizes which have been obtained
during the year. Our President presented the Kingsley
Memorial Medal to A. O. Waker, EsqQ., who by his original
work in many branches of Natural Science and by his kindly
aid to others engaged in like pursuits, has well earned the best
recognition our Society can offer—the Medal struck in remem-
brance of our Founder.

The President’s Prize for the best drawing of the Leaf,
Flower, and Fruit of the Blackberry was awarded to Miss
GRIFFITH. Other Prizes were given to Mr. J. Lyon DEnson,
Miss AticeE M. Orton, Mr. E. Summers, Mr. R. NEWSTEAD.

It may be here observed that the Society are under
obligations to Mr. R. NewstTeapD for the work that he has
done, both in the additions he has made to the Museum and
also in the way of preserving the objects already collected.

It will be noticed that there was no competition for the
Kingsley Memorial Prize of f'10 last year. It is feared that
competitors are deterred by the difficulty of producing a good
collection, or by the idea that a very high standard is required.
This is not as it ought to be, and though the subject of prizes
is always one very difficult to deal with, the Kingsley Memorial
Committee have decided to help from their fund, as far as
possible, any students, who, having selected for themselves a
special branch of Natural History study, have made the best
collection they could with a view to illustrating the same.

During the past winter there have been six General

Meetings.

April 30—Annual Meeting.

Io

These Lectures have all been very interesting and well
attended. We had a great treat in hearing HENRY SEEBOHM,
the distinguished Ornithologist, whose books are so graphic
and full of novel experiences that they richly reward the
reader.

All the Lecturers this Session have been new to our Society,
with the exception of Mr. Fisu, who I am glad to say has
come to reside amongst us. He has given us some excellent
Papers in former years, and his admirable Lectures on ‘“‘ The
Birth and Growth of Science” and “Its Modern Development”
were listened to with great interest.

The five Sections into which our Society is divided have
met as follows :—

1884. GEOLOGICAL SECTION.
Noy. 8—‘‘ Notes on District Geology and Archzology,”” by Mr. SHRUBSOLE,
F.G.S., Chairman.
Dec. 18—‘‘ The Silting up of the River Dee: Its cause,” by Mr. W.
1885. SHONE, F.G.S., Secretary.
Feb. 12—‘‘The origin of Longitudinal Valleys and Transverse Gorges, with
particular reference to instances in the South-east of England,
N. Wales, and Ireland,” by Mr. D. MAckrnTosH, F.G.S.

April 2—‘ Lakes and their origin,’”” by MR. OSMOND W. JEFFS.

1884. NATURAL PHILOSOPHY SECTION.

Nov. 13—‘‘ Some peculiarities of Vision,” by Mr. G. W. WEBSTER, F.C.S.,
1885. Chairman.

Jan. 8—“‘ River pollution as affecting the Salmon Fisheries, more especially
relating to the River Dee Fishery,” by Mr. W. F. Lowe,
A.R.S.M., Secretary.

Feb. 19—‘‘ The Chemistry of Plant Culture,” by MR. WALTER TATE, F.C.S.

April g—‘‘ Atmospheric Electricity: What is it?’ By Mr. CRIBB.

1884. MICROSCOPICAL SECTION.
Nov. 20—‘‘Notes on the staining and detection of Bacilli,” by Dr.
1885. STOLTERFOTH, Chairman.

Jan. 15—“ Microscopical measurement,” by Dr. STOLTERFOTH.

March 5—Conversational Evening. Szbyect: ‘‘Living objects, and the best
mode of exhibiting them.”

April 16—Conversational Evening. ‘On high powers and how to use
them.”

EEE rl

1884. BOTANICAL SECTION.
Dec. 4—‘A brief notice of Vegetable Phosphorescence”” by MR. J.
Price, M.A., Chatrman.
= Also a few remarks on “ Desmids,” by MR. E. A. GROCOTT.
1885.
Jan. ale Food of Plants and how they obtain it,” by Mr. J. D.
SIDDALL.
March 12—‘‘ Fern Life,” by Mr. J. T, RICHES.
April 23— ‘Special Organs of Plants,” by Mr. RosertT HOLLAND,

Frodsham.
1884. ZOOLOGICAL SECTION.

Dec. 11—‘‘ Review of past year,” by Mr. A. O. WALKER, Chairman.
1885.
Feb. 5—‘‘Notes on the Zoology of the West Coast of Africa,” by
Dr. MACPHERSON.
March 19—‘‘The Frog; its anatomy, life history, and place in nature,” by
Mr. C. F. FIsH.
It will be seen that each Section has met four times, with

the exception of the Zoological, which met three times.

On the whole the past winter has been productive of much
good work in the different Sections, and has shown how a
division of subjects tends more and more to the production of
valuable Papers, not perhaps as many as in former years, but as
many as we can expect from a local Society.

The thanks of the Committee are due to those Members
who, by Papers and constant attendance at the Sectional
Meetings, have helped to keep alive week by week the interest
and welfare of our Society—a Society which has never slackened
work since it was founded in 1871.

Your Committee have met sixteen times during the past
year for the transaction of the Society’s business, and they trust
that what they have done has met with the approval of the
Members in whose interest they endeavour to carry on their
work,

CURATOR’S REPORT FOR 1884-85.

Several cases of the stuffed Birds affected by the damp
have received the needful attention.

Donations of Insects have been received from Miss J.
Lace, Mr. A. O. WaLker, Mr, Joun L. Denson, Mr. Hy.
Tuomas, and Mr. NEwsTEAD; donations of Birds, or Birds’
Eggs, from Miss AricE M. Orton, Mr. Joun L. DENson,
Mr. G. SHRUBSOLE ; also a large glazed case of Animals from
the Rev. Mr. Torre; a large collection of European Birds
from Miss A. Brown; and sundry donations from Mr, T.
SHEPHEARD, Mr. C. F. Fisu, and Mr. R. WItson.

No Fossils worth mentioning have been sent in during
the year.

The Land and Fresh-water Collection of Shells in the
Museum is much in need of additions.

If the local collection of representative Fossils from the
Coal Measures of the District is to be one alike worthy of the
Society and of a place in the new Museum, it will require very
large additions from the Members during the coming Session.
