Annual Meeting in July 1869. At the meeting on November 

 26th, 1869, he was presented with a testimonial consisting of a 

 silver salver and tea-service in recognition of his past services. 

 Mr. Le Neve Foster was President at the time, but the pre- 

 sentation was made by Mr. Arthur E. Durham, who had been 

 President during the two preceding years (an account of this 

 appears in the Journal, vol. ii., p. 26). After this very little 

 was seen of him at the meetings, although he remained a member 

 of the Committee up to the annual meeting in July 1874 ; but 

 during the interval he occasionally attended the annual dinner 

 at Leatherhead (an institution in those days). Mr. Bywater 

 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Microscopical Society in 1860.
