Excerpt from Transactions of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, 1909-1913, Vol. 4 The usual series Of winter lectures and talks and of summer field meetings have been arranged and held. A list of the lectures and talks appears in an appendix, and the field meetings will be reported upon hy'the Chairman of the field section. The average attendance at the evening lectures was 85; at the Children's lectures 164, at the curator's talks 53. To the gentlemen who gave their services as lecturers the Council accord their best thanks. They are especially indebted to Prof. Meek, who, almost at a moment's notice, took the place of a lecturer who was prevented from keeping his appointment.
