PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



MEETING 



Held on the 19th of December, 1900, at 20 Hanover Square, W. 

 The President (W. Carruthers, Esq., F.E.S.) in the Chair. 



The Minutes of the Meeting of 21st of November last were read 

 and confirmed, and were signed by the President. 



Notice was given on behalf of the Council that at the next Meeting 

 of the Society the name of Dr. C. T. Hudson, F.R.S., would be submitted 

 for election as an Honorary Fellow of the Society. 



The President said that Dr. Hudson had, on account of his age and 

 his removal from London, expressed a desire to retire from the Fellow- 

 ship of the Society. The Council thought it would be very undesirable 

 that the name of one who had been so long associated with them, and 

 who was so distinguished for his work as a microscopist, should be 

 omitted from their roll of Fellowship, and they therefore proposed to 

 elect him as an Honorary Fellow, and in this way still to retain his 

 name upon their list. 



The List of Donations to the Society received since the last Meeting 

 (exclusive of exchanges and reprints) was read, and the thanks of the 

 Society were voted to the Donors.

A Powell and Lealand Microscope, No. 1 Stand, with Appa-1 Miss A. Whittell, of 



ratus / Adelaide, S. Australia. 



The Microscope received from Miss Whittell was a very valuable 

 instrument by Powell and Lealand, with a complete set of objectives 

 and accessories, the property of her late father, Dr. Horatio T. Whittell, 

 of Adelaide, Australia, one of the Fellows of the Society, who had 

 expressed a wish that his memory might be perpetuated by the Society's 

 possession of his Microscope and whatever pertained to it. The instru- 

 ment, together with the case of apparatus, &c, was placed upon the table 

 for the inspection of the Fellows present, and their special thanks were 

 voted to Miss Whittell for forwarding this valuable donation.
