DONATION TO THE CLUB. 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE. 



The Committee have great pleasure in reporting that Mr. Frank 

 Crisp, one of the members of the Club, has made a donation, by 

 which the sum of £20 annually is secured to the Club for five 

 years, upon the condition that the same shall be applied in such a 

 mode as will be calculated to promote its interests and welfare. 



Your Committee, in furtherance of the above purpose, and 

 considering that it will be beneficial to the interests of the Club to 

 offer an honorarium to any member who may distinguish himself 

 in Microscopical work, have framed the following rules for the 

 application of the fund thus placed at their disposal :— 



I. — That such honorarium be given, not in money, but in books 

 or scientific instruments. 



II. — That the work for which such honorarium shall be awarded 

 shall have been originally communicated to, or brought before the 

 Club. 



III. — That the Committee shall decide to whom such honorarium 

 shall be awarded, and that its members shall be excluded ex-officio 

 from receiving the s^me. 



IV. — That the Committee shall communicate their decision to 

 the Club at the Annual Meeting in July of each year. 



V. — That no one shall be eligible to receive an honorarium 

 until he has been more than one year a member of the Club at the 

 date of the Annual Meeting at which the same is awarded. 



VI. — That no member shall be eligible to receive an honorarium 

 more than once in three years. 



VII. — That the Committee shall be at liberty to make their 

 first award at the Annual Meeting, in July, 1875, if they shall so 

 think fit.
