PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 107 



of which he had treated. He asked the Meeting to return their best 

 thanks to their President for his very interesting address, and to beg his 

 permission to print that address in the Journal. 



Mr. A. W. Sheppard seconded the proposal, which was carried with 

 acclamation by all present. 



The President thanked Mr. Michael very heartily for his kind words, 

 and accorded his consent for his address to be published in the Journal. 



Mr. Disney proposed that a hearty vote of thanks be accorded to 

 the Honorary Officers — President, Secretaries, Treasurer and Council — 

 of the Society. It was only necessary to ask those present to remember 

 the successful meetings held during the past year, culminating in the 

 satisfactory Report and Balance Sheet, to recognize the unceasing labours 

 of their Officers. With these recollections in their minds he thought 

 they would find no difficulty in supporting the motion he proposed. 



Mr. Wilson seconded the vote to the Honorary Officers, which, having 

 been put to the Meeting, was carried with acclamation. 



Mr. Hill, the Honorary Treasurer, said it was always a pleasant duty 

 to reply to the vote of thanks on behalf of the Honorary Officers, and 

 he thanked all present for the vote accorded. There was a good deal of 

 work to be done in connexion with the Society, and a fair amount of 

 time was given to it, and it was gratifying to know that their labour 

 was appreciated, and he hoped that they would still continue to 

 merit that appreciation. The Conversazione was an innovation which 

 had given a certain amount of extra work, but on behalf of the Officers 

 he felt that he could say that they would only be too delighted to con- 

 tinue to give their services in promoting the welfare and success of the 

 Society. One more thing he would like to say, and that was on the 

 subject mentioned by Dr. Shillington Scales at the last meeting. It was 

 a very easy thing for the Council to get out of touch with the Fellows of 

 the Society, and they would always welcome very heartily any suggestion 

 from Fellows, particularly as to nominations to the Council. 



Mr. Waldron Griffiths proposed that a hearty vote of thanks should be 

 passed to the Auditors and Scrutineers of the Ballot for their work in 

 connexion with the Society. The work of the Auditors could not be 

 said to be very onerous, but it was none the less useful, and though the 

 work of the Honorary Treasurer was excellently done, yet it was not 

 likely to be less well done by having the sharp glance of the Auditors 

 behind it. 



Mr. E. J. Sheppard seconded the vote, which, having been put to 

 the Meeting, was carried unanimously. 



The President called attention of Fellows to the Roll, and any pre- 

 sent who had not signed were asked tit do so.
