in effect as the one for which it was to be substituted, but it gave in addition 

 power to the committee to appoint a paid assistant secretary, and it also 

 omitted the clause by which the Editor of the Journal was appointed an ex-officio 

 member of the committee. It had been decided to discontinue the Journal in 

 its present form, and the editor's wort would in future be carried on by a sub- 

 committee appointed for the purpose. 



Mr. Oxley seconded the resolution, and on being put to the meeting it was 

 declared to be carried unanimously.

 unanimously. 



The President also moved—" That the cordial thanks of the Club be pre- 

 sented to the Council of University College for their continued liberality and 

 kindness in permitting the meetings of tl-e Club to be held in that building." 



Mr. Ingpen seconded the motion, which was then put to the meeting and 

 carried by acclamation.

 The President then read his Annual Address, in which, after congratulating 

 the members upon the continued prosperity of the Club, he gave a resume of 

 the work of the year. The address was listened to with great attention, and 

 concluded amidst great applause. 



A vote of thanks to the President for his valuable address was then moved by 

 Mr. J. G. Waller, seconded by Mr. Ingpen, and carried unanimously. 



The President, in acknowledging the vote of thanks, expressed his regret that 

 he had been prevented by want of time from giving more attention to the 

 preparation of his address ; he had only returned from Scotland a few days 

 since, which was the reason why it had been somewhat shorter than usual. 



Mr. Golding moved that the address of the President be printed and circu- 

 lated in the usual way amongst the members of the Club.
