vehicles in connection with the Fern-hunting excursions 

 at the annual meetings, and the provision of a room for 

 such meetings. 



It was proposed and carried unanimously that the 17 new 

 members who have joined since the last meeting, and whose 

 names and addresses appear on the page preceding the sig- 

 natures of those present, be elected. 



It was proposed and carried that next year's meeting be 

 held in Devonshire or Dorset, at a place to be previously 

 determined by a visit undertaken by Mr. W. B. Cranfield 

 and the Hon. Secretary, and that the expenses of the latter 

 in such connection be paid by the Society. 



It was resolved that a permanent record be kept of 

 typical varieties of British Ferns found, raised or grown by 

 the ^Members, and which they are requested to send for that 

 purpose to the Annual ^Meeting in good condition for judging 

 and preservation, and that the Committee shall determine 

 such forms as shall be handed to ^Ir. G. Whitwell for pre- 

 servation in the Society's Herbarium. 



A vote of thanks to the officers was unanimously ac- 

 corded. 



On the motion of 'Sir. T. E. Henwood, it was unani- 

 mously agreed to award the sum of ^10 los. from the funds 

 of the Society to the Editor of the " Gazette," as a token of 

 its appreciation of the large amount of work he has under- 

 taken during the past three years, to which the present 

 fljurishing state of the Society, both financially and other- 

 wise, is largely due. 



CELL GROWTH, 



To anyone who devotes a little study and thought to the 

 matter the fact must appeal with reverential forcefulness 

 that every living thing we see, whether plant or animal, 

 jnicroscopically minute or comparatively gigantically large.
