The President attended the Conference of Scientific Societies held at York during the meeting of the British Association, as one of the delegates of the Essex Field Club. Little was done beyond appointing a Committee to take steps to have the Conference of Delegates recognised by the Council of the British Association, and resolving that a circular should be sent to the various local Societies, pointing out the work undertaken by the Committees of the Association, and the valuable aid which might be given by these Societies in that and other scientific work. The thanks of the Society are again due to Miss Jane Cole and Mr. H. A. Cole for the use of rooms for meetings, and also for the sole use of the two rooms used as a library and museum.
