120 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Mr. R. L. Gleason also exhibited several interesting slides in illus- 

 tration of the same process, and gave details as to exposure, &c. 



The President expressed the thanks of the Society to Mr. Turner and 

 Mr. Gleason for their demonstration of a process which he was sure 

 had a very great future before it. He thought that practical demonstra- 

 tions such as this were of great value, not merely as showing what could 

 be done by colour processes, but as a great incentive to others to experi- 

 ment for themselves. 



Mr. Vezey thought it scarcely necessary to say how glad the Fellows 

 of the Society were to see Dr. Dallinger amongst them again, and to 

 know that his health had been sufficiently recovered to enable him to 

 be present. 



Dr. Dallinger said he was greatly obliged to Mr. Vezey and to the 

 Fellows of the Society for the welcome they had given him. It had 

 been a source of great pain to him to be absent from their Meetings, but 

 the doctors had told him that the only way to recover was to keep from 

 exposure at night and from any mental strain or excitement, and this he 

 had done with so far beneficial results, and he hoped to be in his place 

 in future as usual. 



Notice was given that the Society's rooms would be closed from 

 December 24 to January 3 inclusive.
