proaching anniversary meeting every member should make some present, no 

 matter how small, to the Club. Mr. Koss would himself be happy to make a 

 present of some books, which he had looked out for the purpose. The Chair- 

 man expressed his own approval of the proposal, and cordially recommended it 

 to the consideration of the members. 



The Secretary very highly approved of the suggestion of Mr. Koss. No doubt 

 during the year every member had been working at some special object, and 

 had prepared slides of it, which would make most acceptable and valuable addi- 

 tions to the Cabinet. One gentleman, Mr. Michels, a newly-elected member, 

 had that evening presented to the library a copy of Dr. Carpenter's " Principles 

 of Human Physiology," intimating that he did not know whether it was the 

 kind of book that was wanted. Now no books could be more acceptable than 

 works on physiology, the study of which could not be properly carried on with- 

 out the constant use of the misroscope. Members were strongly recommended 

 to give attention to the interesting subject of cell structure, using the am- 

 moniacal solution of carmine for bringing out its beauties whilst under examina- 

 tion. 



The Chairman announced that in accordance with the bye-laws all the officers 

 of the Club to be elected at the ensuing annual meeting must be nominated at 

 the present meeting. There were four vacancies on the Committee, caused by 

 the retirement by rotation of Messrs. Arnold, Burr, Gay, and Slade, who were, 

 however, eligible for re-election. The President and four Yice-Presidents had 

 also to be elected. For the office of President, he had great pleasure in being 

 able to announce that Dr. Lionel Beale, F.R.S., had kindly consented to allow 

 himself to be nominated, and had promised, if elected, to attend and take the 

 chair at the meetings as frequently as possible. 

 This announcement was received with applause. 



The Chairman then invited members pi^esent to nominate gentlemen to fill 

 the four vacancies as Vice-Presidents, intimating that six could be placed on the 

 list in nomination, from which number four would be elected by ballot at 

 the Annual Meeting. 



The following gentlemen were then nominated as Yice-Presidents: — 

 Mr. A. E. Durham, proposed by Mr. Bywater, seconded by Dr. Matthews.
