We have amongst us many who were with us from the first, and those who have joined us in later years have done much to further the interests of the Society, and are earnest supporters of its welfare. During the past year we have had to deplore the loss of one of our Vice-Presidents, Dr. Howson ; three of our distinguished Honorary Members: W. B. Carpenter, Esq., M.D., F.R.S.; Gzorce Benrnam, Esq., F.R.S., F.L.S.; and D. C. Daviss, Esq., F.G.S.; and also our valued friend Mr. C. F, Fisu. Your Committee must here express their deep sorrow at the loss of Dr. Howson, one of our first Vice-Presidents, and one who was associated with the Society, and its Founder, from its earliest days. Dr. Howson was Secretary to the Chester Museum of Natural History and Archeology, and took an active part in raising funds towards its completion. He was zealous in promoting all good works for the welfare of the citizens, and his kindly sympathy will be greatly missed by those who were associated with him in the promotion of Science and Art. Dr. CarPEnTER’s loss is one to be universally lamented, and our Society (many of whose Members had the pleasure of knowing him personally) were truly grieved to hear of his death. It is our sad duty, also, to record the death of one whose life had for several years been closely connected with our Society. In Mr. Cuartes Fisxn the Society has lost a Member to whose many-sided activity in its service it is scarcely possible to do justice. The example of his own ardent love for Nature, of his single-minded devotion to the Truth which Nature teaches, has of itself done much, during the years that he has been one of us, to promote the ends for which the Society was founded. Himself a constant and regular attendant at all meetings of the Society, 6 he was ever ready to contribute Papers or Lectures in the several Sections. Few who heard him will ever forget the pleasant and humorous manner which so attracted his audience, and the in- terest which his own enthusiasm, no less than his firm grasp of the subject, helped to inspire. His varied knowledge and practical wisdom made him an invaluable member of your Committee, while his genial disposition and singleness of purpose had greatly endeared him to all his colleagues. His death at the early age of 25, leaves a gap in the Society which ~ it will be hard indeed to fill, but your Committee believe that the memory of his own earnest work, and his own high character, will ever live among those who knew him best (in this Society), and will bear their fruit in the furtherance of the aims to which so much of his short life was given, and in the increasing prosperity of the Society which he so greatly loved, and in whose service he laboured so untiringly. We have elected forty-three, and lost by death and removal twenty-four, Ordinary Members. The year 1886 will mark a crisis in the existence of the Society. Since the first formation of the Society we have had no permanent home in which to place our collections. Now, in the course of a few weeks, we shall have a Museum and place of meeting such as few of us ever expected. Most of you have seen the building now in course of erection. It is proposed that it shall be opened early in August There is still, we regret to say, more than £1,500 to be collected before the structure is paid for, but your Committee hope that every effort will be made by our own Members, as well as other kind friends, to clear off this deficiency, so that we may enter our new premises free of debt. We must always remember that it was the great generosity of His Grace THE Duke or WEsTMINSTER, and other liberal subscribers, which enabled us to undertake a building of such magnitude: a building not only adapted to the various branches of study to be conducted under its roof, but eminently ornamental to the City, and a legacy to future Citizens who may wish to keep alive the love of Science and Art. The work of the Contractor, Mr. Gassurt, has been carried out under the superintendence of our able Architect, Mr. Locxwoop, who has spared no pains to meet the varied requirements for which the whole building is designed. The 7 united Committees of the various Societies have met frequently, and a special Sub-Committee has met every week, to see that the work was properly carried out. Our thanks are certainly due to these gentlemen for what they have done, and their labours will perhaps be better appreciated when we enter on our occupation, and see the care that has been bestowed on the details of the structure. Since our last Report, the third number of the Proceedings of our Society is in the hands of the Members, and contains most of the Papers of real local interest that were read, up to 1883. Some of our Members have taken part in the dredging expeditions of the Liverpool Biological Committee, and it will be seen in the Report that is about to be published that there are Papers in it by some of our best workers. The Chester School of Science, which is in part managed by our Committee, has on its books 1385 Students; and the Classes have been carried on through the past winter under the following Teachers :— INORGANIC CHEMISTRY ........secene0s Mr. W. F. Lowe IBOTARY Mia Ueite i) ote ins so hice’ onbne anne Mr. J. D. SIDDALL ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY ........ ecuareteeye ...MrR. C. R. Cowar SSTTOAM ra witha chore se ele Wee e's to%e tere tere ocefahabatonete APPLIED MECHANICS ........s0eeeres Mr. F. GARSIDE and MACHINE CONSTRUCTION AND DRAWING { MR. W. E. ARCHER BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ..........+. These Classes have been under great disadvantages, owing to the crowded state of the room in Lower Bridge Street, and also the want of proper appliances. All this it is hoped will be altered during the next Session. The last May Examination was very satisfactory, and showed that the instruction given had been of a high order, and the application of the Students commendable. There is every probability that the coming Examination will show equally good results. Our Hon. Treasurer, Mr. Mitus, will read you the Balance Sheet of our Accounts, which we hope the Members will find satisfactory, for the powers of usefulness of a Society like ours must always largely dias on the careful manage- ment of its funds. 8 The Hon. Treasurer, Mr. E. J. Barzrie, will read you the Balance Sheet of the Kingsley Memorial Fund. Our Library has been increased during the past year as far as our means have allowed us, and a list of New Books will be appended to this Report. The Library is in good order. For the information of our Members I may state that there is a complete copy of the ‘‘ Challenger” Reports, as far as published, in the Reference Department of the Free Library, which is open to any one who will take the trouble to ask for them. Our Hon. Curator, Mr. Surussoxre, will read you his Report on the state of the Museum. The more immediate work and record of what the Society has done I will summarize under the following heads— Excursions GENERAL LECTURES Eventnc RAMBLES SrecrionaLn MEETines CoNVERSAZIONE PRIZES During the past summer there were seven field excursions, and the following places were visited— DERI AISU pa’ civicin.n'y sss.» sl eeeitaety Cefn and Llangollen PS SBTC.

Our Members, however, seem to prefer new localities, as there was a falling off of Members in this year’s excursions. The visit to the Caves at Tremeirchion, under the guidance of our President, was a rich treat to the Geologists. We have again to thank both the leaders of the parties, and those who planned the excursions for the trouble they took in making arrangements. The owners of property who offered us facilities for passing over their grounds have our warm acknowledgments. ‘The visit to the Crewe Works cannot be exactly called Natural History, still we must remember that we have a Natural Philosophy Section, which takes under its care many mechanical processes, and our 3S] 9 Members showed their appreciation of a visit to these Works by a good attendance. We have especially to thank the Managers of these Works for the facilities they afforded us in visiting all the departments. The Evening Rambles were continued on the same plan as last year, and some of them were quite as largely attended as our more extended excursions, and perhaps more real work done. The Committee again hope to organize these during the summer. The Annual Conversazione took place on the Evenings of the 7th and 8th of October. This was a new arrangement, and one that we hoped would offer more facilities to our Members for seeing thoroughly all the objects collected for the occasion. On Wednesday Evening, the 7th, His Grack tHe DuxKe or WeEsTMINSTER presented the Kingsley Memorial Medal to Mr. J. D. Sippatt, and jndging by the general applause which greeted his name, we are sure our Members felt that the highest honour our Society has to confer had fallen on a worthy recipient—one who has done much good original scientific work, and, as a teacher, inspired and promoted a love for the study of nature. This was followed by an address by Str Henry Roscor, F.R.S., who presented the Kingsley Memorial Prize to Mr. R. Newsreap for his collection of the Lepidoptera and Coleoptera of the district, as well as the Prizes and Certificates gained at the May Examination by the successful students of the Chester School of Science. There were, in addition, two short lectures by the Rev. A. H. Fisu, on the ‘Spectrum and Colour,” and ‘‘ Spectrum Analysis,” in which he was assisted by Mr. E. Biyyoy, from Owens’ College, so that the first evening was one of varied interest. _ On the Evening of Thursday, the 8th, the Lorp Bisnop or THE Diocese presided, and there were a number of short lectures given by Members of the Society— Dr. STOLTERFOTH............‘‘ On Diatoms and their fossil distribution.” Mr. J. D. SIDDALL ..........‘* Foraminifera past and present.” iste B IRISH, «vein caltele nice ** A Day’s Dredging on the Dee.” Mr. SHONE, F.G.S. ...“* On Local Geology.” Mr. E. J. BaILtiz, F, rr S. ..“ Weeds of the way side.” Hk. i.) JOHNSON 4. sss ags aes “« The Electric Light for the Microscope.” _ On both evenings the microscopes were arranged round the large Assembly Room of the Town Hall, instead of in the 10 Council Chamber. In some respects this was more convenient, and the heat from the lamps less felt. The general exhibits were quite up to the usual mark, and it is to be hoped that our Members appreciated the extension of the exhibition to two evenings, though, as a matter of course, this entailed much extra work on the Committee. Our thanks are due most cordially to the late Mayor (C. Brown, Esa.), for granting us the use of the Town Hall, and for the kind assistance he has always given to our Society. During the past winter there have been seven General Meetings, at which the following Lectures were given— 1885. Oct. 29—‘‘ The Chester Society of Natural Science and its Founder,”’ by Dr. WATERS. Dec. 3—‘“‘ Discovery of Stellar distances,” by S. OKELL, Esq., F.R.A.S. 1886. Jan. 8—‘‘Further observations on the Silurian Rocks of N. Wales,’ by Pror. T. McKrenny HuGueEs, F.S.A., President. Jan. 28—‘*The Study of History,” by H. R. REICHEL, EsQ., M.A. (Principal of University College, North Wales). Feb. 25~-‘‘ The relation of Alchemy to Modern Chemistry,” by J. J. DossikE, Esq., M.A., D.Sc. (Prof. of Chemistry in U. C., North Wales). Mar. 25—‘‘ The structure of Flowers,” by R. W. PHILLIPps, Esq., B.A., B.Sc. (Lecturer on Biology in U. C., North Wales). April 2g7—Annual Meeting. The subjects treated in these lectures have embraced a large field, dealing with general topics as well as the more minute particulars. They have been well attended and highly useful. The Committee feel themselves deeply grateful to the University College, Bangor, North Wales, for giving them an opportunity of becoming acquainted with those who are now carrying on the higher education in the Principality, and they feel sure that under such teaching the cause of education in Wales will prosper. The Sections into which our Society is divided have met as follow— 1885. ZOOLOGICAL SECTION. Nov. 5—‘‘Hilbre Island and its Zoology,” by Mr. C. F. Fisu. Dec. 17—‘‘ Review of past year,” by Mr. A. O, WALKER, Chairman. Tl 1886, Feb. 11—“ Zoological notes and observations,” by Mr. W. THOMPSON, April 1—‘*The migration of Birds, and how to distinguish some of our summer visitors,” by Mr. W. H.

Price, M.A., Chairman. 1886. Jan. 14—‘‘ Alternation of generations in the Vegetable Kingdom, as illus- trated by some Thallophytes,’” by Mr. E. HAMILTON Acton, B.A. (St. John’s College, Cambridge). Mar. 18—*‘ Notes on local Botany,” by Mr. C. F. Fisu. 1886. MICROSCOPICAL SECTION, Jan. 21—‘‘On the Polishing-slate of Archangelsk-Kurojedows, Simbirsk, Russia, 1885,” by Dr. Orro N. WiIrTT (translated from the German, and read by the Chairman, DR. STOLTERFOTH). — Mar. 11—‘‘ Foraminifera of the River Wyre,” by Mr. J. D. SippAtt, a Secretary. April 22—Conversational Evening. ‘‘On Pond Life: where to find and how to show examples.” The Sections have met regularly through the past winter, and it will be seen that we have secured four additional Members who have come forward for the first time with Papers. Some of the Sectional Meetings have been. well attended, and on the whole the quality of the Papers has been good. 12 Your Committee have met frequently during the past year, and much troublesome business has had to be gone through in order to retain a place for our Collections, and the use of the Rooms in Lower Bridge Street, till we move into the New Buildings. This has been done, though at some inconvenience, in order to prevent two removals which would have increased our expenses. The Committee trust that their arrangements have met with the approval of the Members In all things their wish is for the general prosperity of the Society, and to promote the love and study of Natural Science. Your Committee cannot close this Report without saying that they consider the present time as a very fit one to appeal to all our own Members and friends for contributions to the New Museum, remembering always that our Museum is a local one, and for the display of Joca/ objects. With improved surroundings and a new building, the Society may anticipate a new lease of life. A large accession of new Members would be very encourag- ing, and though our subscription is small, only 5/- per annum, still we have so far kept clear of debt, and we may hope that under new conditions we shall be equally fortunate. HENRY STOLTERFOTH, M.A., M.D., Scientific Secretary. CURATOR’S REPORT FOR _ 1885-86. There has heen received, on behalf of the Museum, a group of Gwyniads from Bala Lake, in an elegant glass case, the gift of Stk Warxin Witt1ams Wynn, Bart. Dr. Hicks, F.G.8., and J. B.

THE Chester Society of Natural Science has now completed its sixteenth year. Commencing in a tentative manner, it existed for fifteen years without any fixed abode, and it was only after our last Annual Meeting that we moved into the present beautiful and commodious building. This move and the arrangement of the Society’s possessions, entailed a vast amount of labour on the officials, so that if we were asked what particular work had been achieved during the past year we should answer,—not Natural History, but the fitting of ourselves into a new habitat and learning how we could best adapt ourselves to the new environment ; but, I think, you will find all has been done carefully, and with comparatively small injury to the specimens. As the Grosvenor Museum building is managed by a special Committee, and we as a Society are only one of three bodies making use of, and supporting the whole Institution, we shall do well in this Report to confine ourselves to the special object that our Society has in view—to promote the study of the Natural History of the District. As this is intimately connected with the individuals who carry out the work, so the Report of the Society must deal with what is done by its own Members. Your Committee have lost no Honorary Members during the past year, and have added to their number the name of the Rev. A. M. Norman, who has always been a good friend to the Society. We have elected during the year seventy-eight Ordinary . Members, and have now on our books a total of 585 Members. The Chester School of Science is now incorporated with the School of Art, and forms one body, and will in future be known as ‘‘ The Chester School of Science and Art,” under a 6 separate Committee of Management. Your Committee which undertook the School of Science for so many years, was able to transfer it to the new management free of debt. With the improved accommodation, the new Schools have doubled in numbers, thus showing how much they are appreciated, and that they meet a want long felt in the City for improved Art, Technical, and Scientific teaching. Our Hon. Treasurer, Mr. Jonun MILLs, will place before you the Annual Balance Sheet. This, the Committee consider to be very satisfactory, as the small adverse balance he reports may be fairly considered to be due to the cost of removal—the expenses incurred under this head having been considerable. The Hon. Treasurer, Mr. E. J. Bartz, will read you the Balance Sheet of the Kingsley Memorial Fund, managed by our Society. The Library has been put in thorough order by our Hon. Librarian, Mr. P. H. FLetcuer, and Mr. W. H. OKEett. The books are now more accessible than at any former time, and the facilities offered to the Members are much greater, so that your Committee hope that more use will be made of the Library than hitherto. Our Hon. Curator, Mr. SHRUBSOLE, will read you the Museum Report. Your Committee take this opportunity of thanking Dr. ELLIs for his great kindness in naming the Collection of Coleoptera lately added to the Museum. The work of the Society, and the means by which it endeavours to keep alive the interest of the Members, may be considered under the following heads— EXCURSIONS SECTIONAL MEETINGS GENERAL LECTURES CONVERSAZIONE EVENING RAMBLES PRIZES ee 7 During the past summer there were seven field excursions, and the following places visited— 1886. NER SY tilt area ao at ee Gresford (URE TAD aie eat cyaie aes) a's Eaton Hall (Grand Féte) ply Sta chao ctsierats esaysi= sa’ Farndon and Holt July 2tst...........,....Holmes Chapel PATI DTISEI N(CH Gee cer lalate cn 3 « Flint, Conway, and Carnarvon August 30th 2s... sl. Colwyn Bay and Llandrillo September 4th .......... Helsby On the whole the excursions were not well attended: on two or three of the days the weather was deplorably wet, and the fact that many of our leading Members could not give the time and attention to the excursions which they had done in previous years, was another drawback. This was owing to the extra work entailed in the moving and arranging of our possessions in the new building, and seeing to the Loan Exhibition which was kept open in the Museum for some weeks with a view to increasing the Funds of the Building Committee. The visit to Holmes Chapel, under the guidance of the Rev. H. G. BarNac te, was full of interest, and the splendid Conchological show in the School-room after tea, was a treat to many of our Members. The day spent at Colwyn was also very successful ; for, thanks to Mr. A. O. WALKER, who acted as our guide, we had the opportunity of seeing many curious shrubs in his garden, as well as exploring a district rich in Natural History objects. The Evening Rambles suffered from the same causes as the excursions, and we must hope for better things in coming years. For the first time since the formation of the Society, the Annual Conversazione was not held in the Town Hall, The reason for this was that we had a splendid Loan Collection in our New Museum, and it was thought well to give our Members an opportunity of spending an evening amongst treasures that might not again be brought together. This robbed our Conversazione of some of its usual characteristics. We had no 8 room for the Microscopes, and the only addition made was a show of Fungi in the Natural History room. In the Lecture Theatre there was a large gathering for the purpose of awarding the Kingsley Memorial Medal and Prize. Herr GRACE THE DuCHESS OF WESTMINSTER presented the Medal to Dr. STOLTERFOTH, and the Kingsley Memorial Prize of £10 to Mr. R. Newsreap for his Collection of Bees and Wasps made in the Society’s District. At the conclusion of the pro- ceedings, the President of the Society, Pror. T. McKEenny HuGHEs gave an address, entitled—‘‘ Footprints on the Sands of Time,” which was listened to with deep interest. In the past winter there have been seven General Meetings, at which the following Lectures have been given— 1886. Oct. 28—* Caves and Cave deposits,”’ by the PRESIDENT. Nov. 25—‘: The structure and origin of Meteorites and Meteoric Iron,” by H. CLirTon Sorsy, Esq., LL.D , F.R.S.

Hicerns, M.A. (President of the Liverpool Naturalists Field Club.) April 28—Annual Meeting. The attendance at these Meetings has been good, but hardly as numerous as the high quality of the Lectures might have led us to expect. Two of the Lecturers came for the first time before our Society—H. CLirron Sorsy, EsqQ., and THOMAS WARDLE, Eso.—both men who have made a name, and who are distinguished by their thorough kuowledge and enthusiasm in the special branches of scientific investigation which they pursue. Pror. HERDMAN’s Lecture was full of instruction, and contained new matter of deep interest to our Members. The five Sections under which our Society works, have each met three or four times during the winter, and the following 9 Papers have been read and discussed— 1886. GEOLOGICAL SECTION. Nov. 4—‘‘The silting up of the River Dee since the Roman occupation of Chester,” by MR. W. SHONE, F.G.S., Secretary. 1887. Feb. 10—‘“‘ Fossil Footprints at Storeton,” by MR. OsMUND W. JEFFs. Mar. 24—‘‘ Local examples of subaérial as compared with Marine denu- dation,”’ by Mr. W. SHONE, F.G.S., Secretary. 1886. NATURAL PHILOSOPHY SECTION. Nov, 11—‘‘ Coal Tar and Modern Dyes,” by Mr. G. W. WEBSTER, F.C.S., Chairman. 1887. Feb. 17—‘‘ Biological Method of Water Analysis,’’ by Mr. W. F, Lowe, A.R.S.M,, Secretary. Mr. TURNER GRIFFITHS was announced twice to give a Paper on “Our Weights and Measures.” On January 6th, he was prevented from doing so by a family bereavement ; on the second occasion, which was the Thursday Evening before Good Friday, owing to an unfortunate accident the Chairman was not present, and the audience being small, Mr. GRIFFITHS decided to defer reading his Paper. He has, however, kindly offered to give it at the com- mencement of our next Session. 1886. MICROSCOPICAL SeCTION. Noy. 18—‘‘ The principles of the Camera Lucida, and how to draw with it,” by DR. STOLTERFOTH, M.A., Chairman. 1887. _ Jan. 13—‘‘The display (preparation and illumination) of living Micro- organisms,”’ by Mr. M. JOHNSON, F.R.M.S. __ Mar. 1o—‘‘ The preparation of Rock Sections for the Microscope,” by Mr. J. D. SIDDALL, Secretary. _ April1g—‘* Notes on Count Castracane’s Report on the Diatomacez of the ‘Challenger,’ ” by DR. STOLTERFOTH, M.A., Chairman. 1886. BOTANICAL SECTION. Dec. 2—‘ Striking Phenomena in a few familiar Plants,” by Mr. J. Price, M.A., Chairman. a) 18875 Jan. 20—‘ On the dissemination of Plants,” by Mr. F. V. Dutron. Mar. 3—‘‘The cultivation of Pears and Apples on the Northern Coast of 7 Wales,” by Mr. A. O. WALKER, F.L.S. _ April 21—* Notes on the Natural Order Graminea,” by Mr. G, P. Min. r 1886. ZOOLOGICAL SECTION. ec. g—‘‘ Review of the past Season, with a short account of the Dredging with the Liverpool Marine Biological Committee,” by Mr. A. O. WALKER, F.L.S., Chairman. 10 1887. Feb. 3—‘ On some details of the life history of Planorbis Corneus,” by Mr. SHRUBSOLE, F.G.S. Mar. 17—“‘ Circulation of Blood,” by Mr. R. T. Cann, M.R.C.S. The only new Members who have favoured us with Papers are Mr. F. V. Dutton and Mr. R. T. Cann, M.R.C.S., and we have been glad to welcome them. Amongst so large a number of Members, we ought to have more Papers from fresh hands, and if some of our Members would only give us the result of what they observe and note, it would be of great benefit to the Society and use to the individuals themselves, for the work of preparing a Paper is a training in itself, and brings to an accurate focus much which would otherwise remain only a vague kind of knowledge. Mr. Lowe’s Paper was an admirable example of what patient industry can effect in a subject surrounded with difficulties. Mr. WaLker’s Paper on the cultivation of Pears and Apples on the North Coast of Wales, was given in connection with a Fruit Conference held in the Museum, which may be expected to produce practical results. It ought to be one of the objects of our Society to help those industries which have as their basis a knowledge of the laws governing growth and reproduction ; and it was a move in the right direction when our Society helped to start the Fruit Conference, though it will not be the business of the Society to follow it out into its practical working. Besides the Sectional work of the Society, a number of Members have met weekly on Wednesday Evenings during the winter for the purpose of self-improvement. They have as far as possible worked through Huxley’s Practical Biology. This they have done in order to lay a foundation for more extended work in the same direction, and hope during next winter to take up some special branch of Zoology, with a view to the better arranging and naming of the specimens in the Museum. A Section is in process of formation for the study and practice of Photography. This will be a source of strength to the whole Society, for scientific work is atthe present day largely indebted II to Photography for a record of what are in many cases only transient phenomena. We, therefore, welcome our new fellow- workers with the greatest pleasure. It is probable that in the following Winter the Meetings of the Microscopical Section will be discontinued, as it is felt that the Members of this Section can better help the Society by aiding the different Sections at their Meetings. Your Committee has met seventeen times during the past year for carrying on the business of the Society. In many respects the work has been arduous, and the result as far as Natural History is concerned, has perhaps been small ; but now that we are settled, we must hope to do more, and to show that with improved appliances about us, we can produce better work than we have hitherto. Your Committee gladly avail themselves of this opportunity of thanking the Museum Management Committee for the uniform kindness and consideration they have accorded to any wish expressed by our Society, and if it has not been in their power to comply with all our suggestions, we know the reason has been lack of means, and a desire to keep the expenses of the Building within proper limits. HENRY STOLTERFOTH, M.A,, M.D., Scientific Secretary. CURATOR’S REPORT FOR _ 1886-87. We are indebted to Dr. Hy. THomas for Mountain Limestone Fossils from the Great Orme’s Head; to the CHAIRMAN of the Halkyn Mines Company, a fine block of Lead Ore; to Mr. LuxmooreE for several boxes of Cave Bones; and to Mr. SHone, F.G.S., for his Collection of Shells from the Boulder Clay of the district.

ANNUAL REPORT. a Your Committee have the pleasure of placing the Eighteenth Annual Report before the Society. The number of our Members amounts at present to 617, and the interest shown generally in the work of the Society has increased, as the scope of the work has extended. In the early days of the Society we were content with three Sections, now there are seven with the prospect of an eighth in the coming year. ‘This is a step in the right direction for we wish as far as possible to include all those who are advancing the interests of Education. Each Section has brought as it were fresh life and new ideas amongst us, and it has been found that all subjects included under the head of Natural Science have tended wonderfully to illustrate one another. So far this is a very hopeful state of things, but in these days of competition, we must never forget that to know one thing well is infinitely better than imperfect knowledge on many heads. One subject or pursuit thoroughly mastered is the very best introduction to the taking up of any fresh study, as it will have imparted a strength and steadiness to the mind which is never attained by dilettante work. It has been a source of much satisfaction to your Committee that during the past year the debt on our present Building has been entirely wiped out through the kindness and liberality of some of our Members, and we can now look forward with satisfaction to some increase of accommodation. Our local collections during the past year have quite out- grown the room appropriated to the specimens. Excellent _ work has been done in this department, and we are largely _ indebted to our Curator, Mr. R. NEwstTeEap, who, by his ability, _ tact, and knowledge, has proved to us that we have the right _ man in the right place. The details of all that has been done _ will be furnished in the Curator’s Report, but the Committee 6 wish to place on record, their best thanks to His GRACE THE DuKE oF WESTMINSTER, Mr. A. O. WALKER, and others, for their many gifts and the valuable assistance they have rendered during the past year. The Library is in good order, and the Books so kindly lent by the Free Library Committee have again proved most useful to Students. The Honorary Treasurer, Mr. MILLs, will place before you the Balance Sheet of our Accounts, and it is hoped that the Members will find that the money of the Society has been wisely and judiciously spent. The Account of the Kingsley Memorial Fund will be given by the Honorary Treasurer, Mr. E. J. BArLiiz.

In presenting their first Report of the work of this Section, the Committee would note with much satisfaction the success which has thus far attended its formation, and the lively interest which has been shewn in its proceedings. It will be within the recollection of most Members that a Photographic Society was formed on the 16th March, 1887, ata Meeting convened for the purpose at the Grosvenor Museum, when thirty-two persons joined, but very shortly it was deemed —EE #} advisable to alter its constitution, and by permission of the Natural Science Society it was refounded as the ‘‘ Photographic Section” of that body. Since then Meetings have been held regularly throughout the winter months, which have been well attended, and much interest has been aroused in the subjects discussed. The number of Members has also increased to sixty-three. The collection of Photographs exhibited at the last Conversazione met with much commendation, both for their artistic worth and their admirable execution. Prizes were awarded as follows :— For Instantaneous Work, to Mr. F. T. FARRIMOND. », Landscape Mrs. T. H. HIGNETT. »» Architecture Mr. F. EVANs. », Life Studies Mr, E. PULLING. », Photographs of Scientific interest, viz., Photo- micrographs Dr STOLTERFOTH. In addition to the more strictly technical Meetings, the Section has been instrumental in arranging several Public Lectures, illustrated by Photographic Lantern Slides, which have afforded much pleasure to large audiences. In this connection the Committee would desire especially to recognize the kindness of Mr. G. E. THompson, of Liverpool, whose “Waterways of Holland,” and “Italian Pictures,” charmed those fortunate enough to be present. Members are reminded that the Developing Room is now open for their use, and is fairly well equipped with apparatus. Also, that they have permission to photograph in Eaton and Hawarden Parks upon production of their tickets of Membership. The Committee tender their respectful thanks to His GRACE THE DUKE OF WESTMINSTER, K.G.,and to Mr, W. H. GLADsTONE for their kindness in this respect ; and also to the former for his valuable gift of the Enlarging Apparatus now in use by the Society. Hereto is annexed the Hon. Secretary’s Statement, shewing a satisfactory financial position. 28 The Committee trust that during the coming Session the Members will do their utmost to promote the welfare of both Summer Excursions and Winter Meetings, remembering that it is upon their own mutual efforts the continual progress and prosperity of the Section will depend.

Your Committee have pleasure in presenting this the Nine- teenth Annual Report, as in so doing they are able to testify to the prosperity of the Society. The number of Members now on the books is 661, showing an increase of 44 during the last year. We have to record with regret the loss of one of our earliest Honorary Members, Mr. CHARLES EASTON SPOONER. He was born at Maentwrog in 1818. During a long life he did much to develop the industries of Wales. He introduced the Narrow-Guage Railways, with which his name will always be associated. He took a deep interest in our Society, and on many occasions gave us substantial help. In last year’s Report you will observe that our title no longer stands as the ‘‘ Chester Soczety of Natural Science.” Valuing much all that has been done in the direction of Natural Science, which owed its first stimulus to our founder, CHARLES KINGSLEY, we still acknowledge him as a master in a wider field, and are very sure we should have had his sympathy in our new departure. If we would, we could not have excluded literature, as no branch of science could exist without it. But it was felt by some of our Members that there was another range of thought outside the purely scientific, and that such subjects as Poetry, History, and Biography, ought not to be unrepresented. These subjects, including as they do a store of mental facts and critical acumen, conduce not a little to the improvement of taste and the development of genius. The new Section was happy in securing so admirable a Chairman as BisHop JAYNE; and the Secretary, the Rev. A. H. Fisu, produced a programme for the Session which has proved an unqualified success. From the good attendance at the Lectures we feel satisfied that there are many who follow with pleasure the operations of the human mind when given to the contemplation and elucidation of high and 6 pure thought. So we rejoice that a want has been supplied, which it is hoped will give strength to the Society, keeping together all those who wish for the general diffusion of knowledge. We regret that the Management Committee of the Grosvenor Museum have not seen their way to enlarge the building. The Natural History specimens are becoming sadly crowded, but this we hope may be remedied in process of time. Our Curator, Mr. R. NEwsTeEap, will place before you a Report of the Natural History Museum, with a list of those who, by their donations, have increased our local collections. The Committee take this opportunity of thanking Mr. NewsTEApD for his great and untiring devotion to the production of a good local collection of Natural History specimens. The value of a Museum is more than doubled by having at its head a Curator who knows, appreciates, and loves the objects by which he is surrounded. Owing to Mr. NEwsTEAD’s great willingness to assist all those who are anxious to learn, many visit the Natural History department not only to see, but to hear all that the Curator has to impart with regard to the peculiarities and life-history of the specimens, and they go away not only interested but better prepared for future investigation on their own account and further study. The more specimens we receive accurately described and labelled the better for all those who visit the Museum. The Library of the Society is in good order, and the loan of books from the Free Library is of material assistance to the Students. Our Honorary Treasurer, Mr. MI ts, will read the Balance Sheet for the past year. Although it may seem but a trifling business to collect the small annual sums which make up our income, I would wish to remind 2ur Members that if they would pay in their subscriptions early in the year they would materially lighten Mr. Mitts’s labours. We feel we owe him a debt of gratitude for having managed the finances so well for so many years. 7 The Honorary Treasurer for the Kingsley Memorial Fund, Mr. BatLuik, will place before you his Balance Sheet. The general work of the Society we place as usual under the following heads :— EXCURSIONS CONVERSAZIONE EVENING RAMBLES CLASSES FOR INSTRUCTION GENERAL MEETINGS PRIZES SECTIONAL MEETINGS The following places were visited during the past summer :— 1889.

It will be seen there were only four Day Excursions, but three of the Evening Rambles were reckoned as General Meetings, and in this way the spirit of the Rules was preserved, and the work of the Society carried on. The Annual Conversazione took place on the 3rd of October, when we had the pleasure of welcoming our President, Pror. McKrenny Hucues. The meeting was a large and successful one. The recipient of the Kingsley Memorial Medal was Mr. T. Ruppy, the well-known Geologist, whose work amongst the Cambrian Rocks is of high scientific value. Our President welcomed Mr. Ruppy as the recipient of the Kingsley Medal in most flattering terms. Her Majesty The Queen, when at Palé, examined Mr. Ruppy’s_ valuable collections, and expressed much interest in al] he had done. 8 The Kingsley Memorial Prize was this year divided—5 to Miss Epira C. Tomury, for her Collection of Dzptera and Hymenoptera; £5 to Mr. W. E. SHarp, for his Collection of Coleoptera ; a Grant of £5 to Mr. NewstTEAD, for his researches into the life-histories of Injurious Insects. Smaller Grants were also made to Mr. A. J. Nixon, Miss ANNIE SIDDALL, and Miss MuRIEL BROADBENT. The chief feature of the Council Chamber was that this year the Electric Light was used for illuminating the Microscopes. The success was not as great as we could have wished, but the experience gained counted for something, and no doubt another year we shall manage better. It was a great thing to get rid of the heat and smell of the oil lamps. The objects exhibited were quite up to the average, and as is always the case, the room proved very attractive. In the Assembly Room there was a fine collection of Herbaceous Plants, and during the evening Mr. E. J. BAILLIE spoke of their cultivation and uses. There was a Lantern Exhibition in the Sessions Court, by Mr. G. E. THompson, who gave an interesting lecture, entitled ‘‘Rambles along the Riviera.” We have been indebted on several former occasions*to Mr. THompson for very beautiful displays of Photographic Slides, which have been greatly appreciated. The General Meetings of the past winter were as follows :— 1889. Nov. 7—‘*The Development of Machines,” by PRor. HELE SHAw, of University College, Liverpool. Nov. 28—‘ Some aspects of Poetry,”’ by the REv. CANON Morris, D.D. 1890. Jan. 23—‘‘ Agricultural Experiments,” by Pror. Ep. Kincu, F.C.S., of the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. Feb. 19—“‘ Heredity,’’ by E. B. PouLton, Esq., F.R.S. Mar. 6—‘‘ On Dictionaries,”” by T. N. BRUSHFIELD, Esq., M.D. Apr. 24—Annual General Meeting—‘“ Studies in Japanese Pictorial Art,” by H. M. J. UNDERHILL, Esq., of Oxford. 9 It will be seen by the subjects treated in the General Lectures that the Literary Section has not been without influence. Several new names appear before us, and the attendance of Members has been very good. The Lectures given by Dr. BRusHFIELD and Mr. Poutron were of exceptional interest. Both spoke on subjects which they had made completely their own, and although the Lecture entitled ‘**Dictionaries” did not sound inviting, it proved full of instruction, and, in the hands of Dr. BRUSHFIELD, one of special literary interest. ‘‘ Heredity” is one of the great topics of the day, and Mr. Poutron is one of the great authorities on the subject, so that we had a rare opportunity of hearing it well discussed. The Sectional Meetings have been as follows :— SECTION OF LITERATURE. 1889. Nov. 13—An Inaugural Address by the Chairman, THE LORD BISHOP OF CHESTER. 1890. Jan. 6—‘‘ John Ruskin,” by Mr. E, J. BAILLIE, F.L.S. Feb. 10—*‘ Translations and their value,’ by the Rev. C. L. FELTOE, M A. Mar. io—‘*The Chester Mysteries and their connection with English Literature and the English Drama,” by Mrs. HENRY SANDFORD. Mar. 27—‘‘ The Influence of Literature on Daily Life,’ by Mr. J. H. A. HALL. Apr. 14—“‘ Kingsley’s Hypatia,” by Mr. W. SHONE, F.G.S. You will observe that, with the exception of Mr. SHONE and Mr. Baritig, this Section has been indebted for its Papers to Members who have come forward for the first time. The attendance has been good. Mrs. SANDFoRD’s Paper, which was of local interest, enlisted a large audience. who must have gone away impressed by the ability and research displayed in bringing together facts and coincidences well worth saving from oblivion. We can only hope other ladies may come forward with Papers of equal interest. : 10 1889. APPLIED SCIENCE SECTION. Nov. 14—-‘‘ Engineering progress during the past year,’’ by the Chairman, Mr. W. P. J. Fawcus, C.E. 1890. Jan. 9—‘‘ Some applications of Magnetism,” by the Secretary, MR. E. W. Cowan, A.M.I.C.E. Apr. 17— The new system of Industrial Motive Power Co-operation,” by Mr. JoHN STURGEON, C.E. 1889. BOTANICAL SECTION. Nov. 21—‘* The Order Solanace@, with special Notes upon the Potato,” by Miss M. H. OKELL. 1890. Jan. 16—‘‘ Leguminous Plants,” by the Secretary, Mr. G, P. MILN. Mar. 31—‘‘ Spring Flowers,’ by Mr. LEo H. GRinpDoN, Manchester. In connection with the Botanical Section of the Society there has been formed a Society of practical gardeners, called ‘‘The Paxton Society,” which has met regularly on the first and third Saturdays of the month, for the purpose of exchanging ideas and reading Papers on Horticultural subjects. These Meetings take place in the Grosvenor Museum, and have been well attended. The subscription is very small, so as to enable all who take an interest in the subject to join for the purpose of improving and cultivating Botanical knowledge. Our Society looks on this affiliated Society as a very hopeful sign. The number of Members now belonging to the Paxton Society is 65, and we wish it every success. 1889. ZOOLOGICAL SECTION.

The Photographic Section will furnish a separate Report containing all particulars of their Meetings. We are indebted to this Section for assistance in illustrating a large proportion o the Papers read before the Society. Scientific subjects can in no way be so well illustrated as by photography. The lantern has replaced the large diagrams which used to hang on our walls, and the facility with which minute objects can be accurately reproduced by Photography and then enlarged by the lantern proves not only a saving of time and trouble, but introduces a wonderful certainty with regard to such forms and structures as have hitherto only been seen under the Microscope, and so remained the property of the few. We therefore record our best thanks to the Members of the flourishing Photographic Section for all it has done for our Society. During the past winter, under the Oxford Extension Scheme, we have had a most interesting course of Lectures given by Mr. E. B. Pourroy, F.R.S., on “ The protective value of colour in animals.”” These Lectures were well attended, and afforded much sound instruction in a field of research full of interest. Those who were present must have enjoyed hearing so able a teacher. Your Committee have met frequently during the past year, and have done all in their power to promote the best interests of the Society by affording every facility for the increase of that knowledge which tends to give fresh interest to the locality in which we live. They trust that their endeavours have met with the approval of the Members to whom they make this Report. HENRY STOLTERFOTH, M.A., M.D., Scientific Secretary, 12 CURATOR’S REPORT ‘FOR 1880-90. THE additions to the Museum since April 16th, 1889, in point of numbers again exceed those of the previous year. They consist of many choice and rare species, a full list of which is given in this Report. The following is a total abstract of the number of species and specimens :— Species Species Total of Total of Presented. | Purchased.| Species. | Specimens, Echinodermata, &c. 2 5 3 Crustacea (Shrimps, &c.) 3 3 3 Arachnida (Spiders, &c.) 2 5 = Coleoptera (Beetles) 92 207 476 Orthoptera (Grasshoppers, Bag ) Bemr| 3 3 Neuroptera (Dragon Flies, &c.) 2 2 2 Hymenoptera Sapir gi wat Parasites) .. 2B ali. ex: 84 227 Lepidoptera (Moths, ie, ) si apy |. crit eae 140 326 Coccide (Scale Insects) j ig Oy Fall Base 9 wy Hemiptera (Plant Bugs, &c.) .. ue ha al AE 3 S Diptera (House Flies, &c.) 2 a 95 358 Life-histories of Injurious Insects...

Insects belonging to various other orders have also undergone a thorough investigation, and have been, as far as practicable, classified and arranged in their natural order. wi } 13 Fifty-three life-histories of various orders have been prepared, and prove of the greatest interest and value to those who visit the Museum. Many others are partly finished, and itis hoped that by the end of the present year your Curator will have added many more to the collection. It is a matter of the greatest regret that all our exhibitive space is now occupied, consequently, further exhibits prepared must be stored away until additional space can be provided. The same applies to the Geological collections, many of which are now lying in boxes in the basement rooms. Two additional life-histories of Birds have been prepared, and another is nearly complete. Some of the Birds have been remounted upon the new blocks kindly presented by Mr. F. F. Brown, but the greater part are still upon the old mounts ; however, in the course of a month or so, it is hoped that they will be completed, when some permanent style of labelling will be adopted. Owing to our Library being very deficient in Zoological and other reference books, I am again considerably indebted to the following for the use of their valuable reference works, without which it would have been impossible to carry on good work :—Rey. E. A. PircAIRN CAMPBELL, Mr. W. Hopcess, Mr. SAMUEL RiGBy, Dr. STOLTERFOTH, The Misses TomLIn, and Mr. ALFRED O. WALKER. It may be satisfactory to know that all the additions to the Society's Museum are catalogued up to date, and that a considerable amount of detail work has been carried on during the past year which it is unnecessary to quote, as a full account is given in the Curator’s Diary, which can be seen on application. I cannot close my Report without making mention of at least some few of the well-known Entomologists of the day who have kindly rendered such personal assistance as enabled me the better to complete some particular work which I had in hand at the time :—M1ss ORMEROD, Mr. EDWARD SAUNDERS, F.E.S., Rev.

REPORT. In presenting their second Report, the Committee desire to acknowledge the valuable services rendered to the Section by Mr. Geo. FRATER, and to express their regret that his removal from Chester caused his resignation of the Honorary Secretary- ship, in which office he contributed much to any measure of success which may have attended the formation of a Section devoted to Photography. The Committee feel that there is room for increased interest in the work of the Section, and would be pleased to see the Meetings (especially when technical subjects are treated of) more numerously attended, the Dark Room more frequently used, and the Members availing themselves of the photographic journals and books placed in the library—determination to excel on the part of individual Members being the only guarantee of real progress in the Section. It is hoped that the Meetings of the Photographic Convention, to be held in Chester during the last week of June, may be the means of interesting large numbers in Photography and lead to an increased membership, by inducing many to take up a pursuit which, if loyally followed, cultivates the artistic and scientific perceptions of those who engage in it. There are many ways in which the Photographic Section may be a help to the Society of which it forms a part, and, through that Society, add its mite to the sum of human knowledge,— notably by obtaining negatives of Geological Formations, abnormal conditions in the Animal and Vegetable Kingdoms, and recording facts in Microscopical Research. All these are possibilities to the devoted photographer, in addition to the pleasure which may be given to thousands by reproducing the beauty and grandeur of natural scenery. 23 The Committee recognize, with thanks, the kindness of the gentlemen who contributed, by reading Papers, &c., to the success of the undermentioned Meetings :— 1889.
