The thanks of the Club were voted to the donors. 



The President called especial attention to the very valuable works men- 

 tioned at the end of the list of donations as having been added to the 

 library. They had been purchased from Dr. M. C. Cooke, who had been 

 kind enough to offer the Club the refusal of them, and they would be 

 found as works of reference to be of great value, and such, indeed, as any 

 scientific society in London would be proud to own. 



The Secretary stated that he had heard from Mr. Bridgman, of Norwich, 

 who said that he had at last succeeded in getting a tinted glass of the kind 

 he had been so long desiring. He hoped they should soon have a paper 

 upon the subject, which would be sure to be interesting, as Mr. Bridgman 

 was well known to be extremely critical upon such matters. 



The Secretary gave a short account of two of the Field Excursions of the 

 Club from notes contributed by a member of the Excursion Committee. 

 The excursion on March 24th was to Barnes ; the weather was showery, 

 numerous objects were found. That on April 7th was to Snaresbrook ; the 

 weather was very fine, and the excursion was highly successful. Twenty 

 members went, and they got a great number of very beautiful objects, in- 

 cluding Stephanoceros, Melicerta, &c, and the ponds were reported to be in 

 good condition. He hoped in future to be able to give a report of each 

 excursion, which would certainly increase the interest of the members in 

 them, and perhaps induce more persons to take part in them. 



Mr. T. C. White read a paper " On some Personal Observations on 

 Botryllus," illustrating the subject by drawings. 



The President expressed the pleasure he had felt in listening to Mr. 

 White's paper, and said it appeared to him that the fact which had been
