great pleasure in moving the vote of thanks both to the Auditors and bo 

 the Scrutineers of the ballot. 



Mr. Davies said he had pleasure in seconding that proposal, which, 

 having been put to the .Meeting, was carried unanimously. 



Mr. Shilliugton Scales said that he regretted Dr. Hebb's absence that 

 evening, as it would have been the last time he would have been present 

 as Honorary Secretary, but those examination duties which had com- 

 pelled him to give up his Secretaryship had prevented him from being 

 present. He was glad to know, however, that, as Vice-President, the 

 Society would still have the opportunity of taking advantage of his great 

 experience as Secretary. Dr. Hebb had been with them for many years, 

 and had worked very hard, and had fully earned a rest. 



The increased prosperity of the Society had been alluded to, but of 

 course he must impress upon the Meeting that a good deal of anxiety 

 lay before them in the future owing to the growing expenditure. It was 

 a great satisfaction to know that the Fellowship had been increased, but 

 a still greater number of new Fellows would be welcomed by all, and the 

 present Fellows of the Society could help in this direction greatly by 

 bringing forward suitable candidates for the Fellowship. The two new 

 Secretaries following Dr. Hebb would have many difficulties to contend 

 with, and they were very wishful to increase still further the usefulness 

 of the Society, and would therefore welcome gladly any suggestions 

 which could be made. It was satisfactory to know that the Library had 

 been more used in the past year, but the Slide Cabinet might be more 

 often referred to, and efforts would be put forward to make the Meetings 

 of even more interest than they were now, especially in a social direction. 

 He would be very glad indeed to receive any suggestions or help which 

 could be given, for the Fellows themselves could be of as much assistance 

 in this direction as the Honorary Officers. 



The next Meeting was announced for February 15, when a paper 

 by Mr. E. M. Nelson, " On Some New Objectives and Eye-pieces by 

 R. Winkel, of Gottingen," would be read. 



The following Instruments, Objects, etc., were exhibited : —

New Fellows : — The following were elected Ordinary Fellows of the 

 Society : — Frank Armstrong, William Ayrton, John Ross, Charles James
