they had done him in electing him as their President. Of coui^e 

 he had known the Quekett Microscopical Club by reputation 

 for many years, but he felt he was taking upon himself a very 

 great responsibility in following Prof. Minchin, more especially 

 after listening to his address. Probably no one in England, 

 he might say no one in Europe, was more capable of dealing 

 with these subjects than Prof. Minchin. His trouble in the 

 matter was that Prof. Minchin was really too good to be 

 followed. 



A vote of thanks to the Auditors and Scrutineers was pro- 

 posed by Mr. Earland, seconded by Mr. Grundy, and carried 

 unanimously. 



Mr. A. D. Michael proposed a vote of thanks to the Officers 

 and Committee. The Club was always greatly indebted to them 

 for the large amount of time, attention and skill which they 

 devoted to ensuring its prosperity, and he believed there was 

 no society in which those services were more efficiently performed. 

 He felt sure, therefore, that a vote of thanks to them would 

 meet with the greatest approval. 



Mr. Bremner said they had on hearing the report felt a 

 mingled sense of thanks to their officers and congratulations 

 to themselves, and especially they desired to thank the Officers 

 and Committee, who had brought about the prosperity they 

 enjoyed. They were very grateful to those gentlemen, and were 

 showing their gratitude by asking them to continue their services 

 for another year. He had much pleasure in seconding the 

 motion. 



Having been put to the meeting, it was unanimously carried. 



Mr. Perks thanked the members, on behalf of the Committee, 

 for the vote of thanks which they had just passed. He could 

 only say that they had done their best in the past, and that they 

 would try to do the same in future.
