A special vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Crisp for his valuable donation. 

 Mr. H. E. Freeman exhibited a small gauge in use for measuring the width 

 of ribbon, which he thought might be useful for some purposes, as it gave 

 the measurements in English and French equivalents. 



The President said he must take that opportunity of thanking the 

 Members of the Club for electing him as their President. When he used 

 to come there as a Member some years ago he had no idea that it would one 

 day be his good fortune to sit in the chair. He could only say that he 

 esteemed it an honour, and that he would do his very best to assist the Club 

 in any way that in him lay. 



Mr. Waddington read his paper on " Marine Aquaria." 

 Mr. Karop inquired whether it would be possible to maintain an aquarium 

 of this kind if sea-water could not be obtained to replenish it with — would it 

 be dangerous to add fresh-water in order to supply loss by evaporation, and 

 if not, would it not be necessary to take some precautions in adding fresh- 

 water to salt ? 



Mr. Hardy said he had found no difficulty in keeping up the proper density 

 by adding pond-water. This seemed to be advantageous, because there were 

 some kinds of entomostraca which lived long enough in the salt-water to 

 afford food for the marine inhabitants. 



Mr. Goodwin thought Mr. Waddington had not done justice to himself in 

 his paper, as anyone would say who had seen his aquaria, and he should 

 certainly recommend any person to do this who was interested in the subject 

 and desired to start one for himself. A great deal of disappointment
