®ur annual flDecting* 



THE Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Postal Microscopical 

 Society was held in the Prince of Wales's Salon at the 

 Holborn Restaurant, on Wednesday, the 8th of October, 1884. 



At the meeting summoned for business purposes at 6.30 p.m., 

 the following members were present : — Ur. C. F. George, Presi- 

 dent-Elect, in the chair ; the Rev. R. K. Corser (Bath), Mr. A. 

 Hammond (London), Dr. Kesteven (Enfield), Mr. Martin (Old 

 Charlton), The Rev. E. T. Stubbs (Bath), The Hon. J. G. P. 

 Vereker (London), Mr. G. H. Robinson (Huddersfield), and the 

 Secretary. 



The following report of the Committee was laid before the 

 members : — 



Your Sub-Committee have held several Meetings during the 

 year, notably one on the 14th of March, which was attended 

 by Dr. Coombs, President. At that Meeting, with a view to obtain 

 a greater increase of Members, your Secretary suggested a scheme 

 for the admission of Members of the Medical Profession to a new 

 section of the Society, to be called the " Medical Section." In 

 furtherance of this scheme, the President inserted a letter in many 

 of the Medical Journals, and several Medical men have joined the 

 Special Section. 



The Roll of Members at the present time consists of — 



Members of the General Section ... ... 165 



Members of the Medical Section* ... ... 9 



Total ... ... ... ... 174 



We believe the new method of filling the Circulating Boxes 

 has proved in a certain degree a decided success — many Members 

 having written very full and comprehensive Notes in elucidation of 

 their Slides ; the method also of each Member supplying at least 

 six Slides has proved decidedly advantageous, as in most cases the 

 Slides so contributed have formed a Series. 



The thanks of the Society are especially due to those of our 

 Members who make special efforts to render their Slides and 

 Notes interesting. 



With respect to our Journal, your Committee and the Editor 

 are still looking forward with much faith to very satisfactory results 



* Twenty Medical Members are now on the roll.
