There have also been published in the Essex Naturalist about one hundred
"notes" on various subjects relating to Essex, many giving the results of original
observations, and the reports of Field Meetings (drawn up by Mr. W. Cole,
with the valuable assistance of the "Conductors" and others) have extended to
over sixty closely-printed pages, giving a large amount of local information.
Mr. Cole is also responsible for the extended reports of the Ordinary Meetings.

greater number of members an opportunity of attending the Ordinary Meetings,
the Council has resolved to hold occasional meetings in the larger towns in
Essex—the afternoons being devoted to the examination of the Museums, antiqui-

Club will be held for the reading of papers, notes, &c., and the exhibition of
specimens, especially such as may be of local interest. It is confidently hoped
