The Secretary then read the Thirty-sixth Annual Report. 



The Treasurer presented his statement of accounts and 

 balance sheet for the year 1901, duly audited. 



Mr. Taverner moved the adoption of the Report and Accounts, 

 which was seconded by Mr. French and carried unanimously. 



The President having requested Mr. Waller to take the Chair, 

 then gave his annual address, in which he described some of the 

 leading features of the Coprophilous Fungi, the minute species 

 found on horse-dung and other animal excreta, tracing the 

 principal characteristics of several typical forms, and illustrating 

 his remarks with a series of large coloured drawings. 



Mr. Waller proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the President 

 for his admirable address. It was most delightful to hear one 

 who was a perfect master of his subject, as the President 

 was Mr. Allen seconded the vote, which was carried with 

 acclamation. 



The President, in reply, said the greatest gratification to him 

 would be for at least one student to take up the subject and give 

 it a trial. He would be pleased to assist any one who would 

 do so as far as he possibly could. He was perhaps a little 

 biassed, but he thought there was nothing to equal it. 



Mr. Neville inquired if there was any way of preserving these 

 objects.
