798 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Society to the King and Queen Mother, on the occasion of the death of 

 His late Majesty King Edward VII., had been received. 



The Chairman further said that they had all to regret sadly the loss 

 of one of the well-known members both of the Quekett Club and of 

 their own Society. He had been a regular attendant and a constant 

 speaker. Some constant speakers were not always so acceptable as they 

 might be — that was to say, that their remarks were not always of much 

 use— but Mr. Walter Wesche had always something to say which was to 

 the point ; what was more, he took particular care to say it in an 

 intelligible way, and always in such an agreeable manner. He was a 

 valuable Fellow and a sincere friend. As a medical man, he (the 

 Chairman) could not help noticing his gradually failing health, and this 

 had been a source of great grief to him, but even this had not prepared 

 him for the announcement of his death, which he had seen but a few 

 weeks since in the papers. 



He was quite sure, without putting a painful matter to the vote, 

 that all present would wish notified on the minutes their desire to 

 express a vote of sincere sympathy to Mr. Wesche's relatives on the 

 occasion of their bereavement, and of the loss they felt the Society 

 sustained by his death. 



The thanks of the Meeting were voted to those Members of the 

 Society and of the Quekett Microscopical Club who had taken so much 

 trouble in arranging the exhibition of Pond Life, which had contributed
