as possible of his subject into the time available, and everyone was impressed by the many textile samples that he brought with him.

For the third meeting, on 21st November, we were again pleased to welcome a speaker from Leeds University. Professor A. Hemingway from the School of Medicine addressed the Society on the subject of "Artificial Organs". He dealt with the blood, the kidney, the heart, and the lungs, and their artificial counterparts, in a talk which was understood equally by scientists and non-scientists. The fact that Professor Hemingway spent over half an hour answering questions indicated the popularity of his talk.

The last meeting of the term was held on 28th November, when two members of Queen's gave talks. A. J. Neal spoke first on "Modern Building Materials", dealing with the use of plastic, fibreglass, and rubberised materials in modern building construction. His talk was followed by one by D. E. Coulson on "Chromatography". Coulson described the various types of chromatographic analysis and performed several practical demonstrations.

At the end of a successful term we extend our thanks in particular to our two visitors from Leeds University, and also to the various other speakers who have contributed to this term's meetings.

At the first closed meeting of the term Mr. M. W. Territt gave a lecture on "Aeroplane Controls and Safety", which he demonstrated with many pieces of equipment. Mr. W. E. Jones also spoke on "The Subconscious Mind", in which he played a recording of a hypnotist's attempt to discover the truth about reincarnation.

At the second meeting Mr. J. H. Ormiston gave an interesting talk on "Guns and Ammunition" and Mr. P. M. Kemp a wellillustrated talk on "The Sea Depths".

Mr. J. 0. Armstrong's talk on "Astronomy" at the third meeting produced so many questions that he was unable to complete it during the time available and he finished his lecture at the final meeting of the term. Also during the last meeting Mr. N. R. Barton gave an entertaining lecture on "Science and Archwology". This was well illustrated and enjoyed by all the Society.
