were sometimes found — in this case in the New Kiver and in

The thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Soar for his

February 21st, 1902. — Annual Meeting. 

 George Massee, Esq., F.L.S., President, in the Chair. 



The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. 



The following gentlemen were balloted for and duly elected 

 members of the Club : — Mr. T. J. Edwsrds, Mr. J. Halsey, Mr. 

 A. H. Macdonald, Mr. W. Radchffe, Mr. H. W. Shepherd, Mr. 

 E. Wyatt. 



The additions to the Library were announced, and the 

 Secretary said that one of these deserved special attention. It 

 had been represented to the Committee that Dr. Lilljeborg's 

 " Cladocera Sueciae," a most elaborate work with eighty-seven 

 beautiful plates, would be a very desirable acquisition and of 

 the greatest assistance to students of the Entomostraca. Un- 

 fortunately, works of this size and character were necessarily 

 costly, and the Committee hardly felt justified in incurring the 

 outlay. One of their number, who, however, desired to be 

 anonymous, had most generously presented not only the book 

 itself, as issued, but the very handsome and substantial binding 

 in which it now appeared. A very cordial vote of thanks to 

 the donor of this valuable and useful gift was moved from the 

 chair and carried by acclamation. 



The meetings for the ensuing month were then announced, and 

 the special business of the Annual General Meeting proceeded 

 with. 



The President appointed Mr. Neville and Mr. West scrutineers, 

 and ballot was taken for President, Vice-Presidents, Officers, and 

 five members of Committee. On receiving their return, the 

 President declared that the names on the printed list had all been 

 unanimously elected.
