128 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



The Chairman, in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Enock for his 

 interesting lecture, said that to hear or read about the results of obser- 

 vations of this kind was one thing, but it was quite another to carry out 

 the necessary research. This involved much time and patience. A 

 friend of his once told him that the whole of a four years' research 

 only occupied half a sheet of paper. Now Mr. Enock's half -hour lecture 

 represented observations of a most lengthy kind ; such, indeed, might, 

 easily have taken him several weeks of very close observation ; and he 

 felt sure those present would like to offer Mr. Enock their hearty con- 

 gratulation both as to the final results obtained, as well as for the 

 intellectual summary he had just given them. 



Dr. Hebb reminded the Fellows that the next Meeting would be the 

 Annual Meeting, when the President would give his Address. He then 

 read the list of Officers nominated by the Council for Election for the
