FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



In reporting ^pon the Club's welfare during 1910, your Com- 

 mittee is able to congratulate members upon a year of marked 

 progress. 



During the year forty-six new members were elected. This 

 number is above the average for the preceding decade, which was 

 a fruitful period in this respect ; it is also much higher than the 

 numbers for the two years immediately preceding. By resignation 

 the Club loses sixteen members, and by death five members, 

 leaving a net gain of twenty-five. 



Among those removed by death must be mentioned the name 

 of Mr. Walter Wesche, whose activity as author of many valuable 

 papers read at the meetings, and as a member of the Committee, 

 make his death deplored by members of the Club. 



The meetings have been consistently well attended even under 

 the trying circumstances involved by the rebuilding of the Club's 

 room, and those members who attended were rewarded by hearing 

 a number of papers of interest and importance. Of these com- 

 munications may be mentioned :

 tions on the Phenomena of 



Parasitism in Protozoa . . Prof. E. A. Minchin.
