The Chairman reminded the Members present that by the 

 death of Cardinal Manning on the previous day the Qaekett 

 Club had lost a member of nearly twenty years' standing. 

 He attended their Annual Meeting on July 26th, 1872, to hear 

 the Presidential Address, then delivered by Dr. Lionel S. Beale, 

 and was so much interested in the proceedings that he ex- 

 pressed a desire to become a Member. He was accordingly 

 nominated at the following meeting, and elected at the Ordinary 

 Meeting, Sept. 27th, 1872. Though not familiar to them as an 

 attendant at their meetings, nor distinguished amongst them 

 as a microscopist, there could be no doubt that by his death one 

 of the most distinguished names had been removed from their 

 list of Members. 



The Chairman said it was also a matter for regret that Dr. 

 Dallinger's health prevented him. from being present with them 

 that evening ; he believed there was nothing serious the 

 matter, but he was under the necessity of taking care not to 

 expose himself to any chill. He had, however, written to 

 express his further regret that an engagement of old standing 

 would prevent him from being present also at their next 

 meeting to deliver the customary Annual Address, and under 

 these circumstances he asked their permission to postpone the 

 delivery of that address until the meeting in March. They 

 could not, of course, postpone the Annual Meeting, so that on 

 February 19th the ordinary business of the Annual Meeting 

 would be proceeded with as usual, but papers would be taken 

 afterwards instead of the President's Address. 



In preparation for the Annual Meeting, the Chairman said 

 it would be necessary to appoint two gentlemen to serve as 

 Auditors of the accounts of the past year. The Committee
