The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to the donors. 



The Secretary read the Annual Report of the Committee. 



The President said that having heard the report, he rose to formally move 

 that it be adopted and printed in the usual way. He called attention to the 

 reference which had been made to the donation of £20, which it had been 

 decided to give to the building fund of University College, and which he 

 felt sure would meet with the hearty approval of all present, seeing how 

 largely they were indebted to the Council of the College for permission to 

 meet in that room — a privilege which, no doubt, had greatly contributed 

 towards the remarkable success of the Club. 



The adoption of the report having been seconded by Mr. T. C. White, was 

 put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. 



The Report of the Treasurer containing balance-sheet, &c, duly audited, 

 was then read by the Secretary. 



The President moved " That this report be also received, adopted, and 

 circulated with that of the Committee.'' 



Mr. T. C. White having seconded the motion, it was put to the meeting, 

 and unanimously carried. 



Mr. Reeves and Mr. Faulkner having been appointed scrutineers, the 

 ballot papers were distributed, and the election of officers proceeded with. 



The President then delivered the customary Annual Address, taking for 

 his subject "The Commercial Application of the Microscope,' and con-

 members as to their future wellbeing as a Club, and by the expression of 

 his thanks to those who had so ably and unanimously co-operated with him 

 ia the conduct of its affairs during his two years term of office. 



The Address was listened to with great interest and attention, and loudly 

 cheered at its conclusion. 



Dr. M. C. Cooke said that the pleasure with which he had listened to the 

 very interesting address of their worthy President, led him to rise and ask 

 the members to support him in proposing that the Address be printed and 

 circulated with the Journal in the usual manner. He did so with great 

 pleasure, because he was so fully aware how their President had worked 

 for the wellbeing of the Club, and how heartily he had promoted its 

 interests in every way in his power. 



Dr. Matthews seconded the proposal with entire satisfaction. 



Mr. Ingpen said that he had the greatest pleasure in supporting this
