Mr. F. P. Smith's lecture on November 17th was given at a 



a hours' notice in order to fill the gap caused by the sudden 



indisposition of the President, who had been announced to read 



.1 paper on that date. The public spirit displayed in thus coming 



forward at such short notice was much appreciated by the large 



Ludience which had assembled. 



The Committee desire to thank the lecturers and those gentle- 

 men who have contributed their researches to the Club. 



The Library has been much used by members during the year. 

 During the recess the Hon. Librarian completed the removal and 



arrangement of the books in the new cases rented by the Club, 

 i nd the increased space thus obtained has relieved the congestion 

 which had lor so long been a source of trouble. The cordial thanks 

 of all the members are due to the Librarian for the manner in 

 which this laborious work of removal was performed without 

 interference with the issue of books.
