Mr. Morland said there was a matter which he should like to bring before 

 the meeting, in reference to the paper which had been contributed to the 

 Club by Messrs. Grove and Sturt ' ; On the Oamaru Diatom Deposit," and 

 printed in the last number of the Journal, with five plates in illustration. 

 He felt that a paper like that deserved some special recognition on the part 

 of the members, and, therefore, he asked leave to move the following 

 resolution : — " That the thanks of this Club be, and are hei-eby, tendered to 

 Messrs. Grove and Sturt for the very excellent papers they have contributed 

 to its Journal ' On the Diatomaceae contained in the Oamaru Deposit,' of 

 which the five plates contained in the last part have been prepared and 

 executed at their sole cost." 



Mr. Karop said he had great pleasure in seconding this resolution, and the 

 President having formally put it to the meeting it was carried by acclamation. 

 There being no paper forthcoming, and the Chairman's appeal for observa- 

 tions from members upon any matters of interest which might have come 

 before them during their holiday trips, meeting with no response, the ex- 

 cursions, &c, for the ensuing month were announced, and the proceedings
