Excerpt from Transactions of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Vol. 5 Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, - When your Committee a year ago elected me chairman of the Field Section of the Natural History Society I felt they had conferred upon me an honour I little deserved, and it was with very great diffidence I undertook the responsibility of presiding at your Field Meetings. In presenting my report of the six meetings held during 1913 (all of which I was able to attend) I am able to state that we were favoured on the whole by fine weather; the attendance of members was fairly good, but I should have liked to have seen a larger number of the younger ones present, because it is, upon them we have to depend to carry on the work of this Society in after years. On Saturday, July 12, by the kindness of the Vale of Derwent Field Club, our members were Invited to join their meeting at Blanchland, and six of our members were present. Un fortunately I have no report of the proceedings. From October to February five informal evening meetings have been held at the Museum for the examination and dis cassion of interesting specimens, &c, These meetings have not been as well attended by the members as was hoped.
