Abstract
ANNUAL reports of scientific societies so frequently record declining membership in these days that it is gratifying to see an increase from 200 to 220 in the records for 1932 of the Natural Science and Archaeology Society of Littlehampton. The report also shows evidence of the activity of the members in field work. A good start has been made with lists of the Lepi-doptera, Odonata, and birds of the district, the last including a record of a flamingo seen on the West Sussex coast in January 23, 1933; and the archo-logical section has excavated a Romano-British settlement at Shepherds' Garden. Evidence of the increasing interest taken by the public in these matters is shown by the attendance of close upon 15,000 visitors at the Museum with which the Society is intimately associated.
