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



The President said that it gave him great pleasure on this, the first 

 occasion upon which he had the honour to preside at one of their meetings, 

 to be able to lay before the Socieiy a work which would contribute very 

 much to the usefulness of the collections in their possession. It was a new 

 and revised catalogue of the microscopical preparations in the Cabinet of 

 the Society, and great praise was due to their Curator, Mr. Hailes, for the 

 very efficient manner in which he had carried out this work ; the committee 

 had expressed their sense of the value of this service by passing a vote of 

 thanks to Mr. Hailes, and he would now ask the meeting to do the same. 



A cordial vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Hailes for his services in 

 the compilation of the new catalogue of slides.
