EEPOET OF THE COMMITTEE. 



Your Committee, in presenting their Ninth Annual Eeport, 

 have again the pleasing duty of recording the continued 

 prosperity of the Club, and its successful progress in the 

 course marked out by its Founders. 



Your Committee gladly avail themselves of the opportunity 

 again afforded them of thanking the Council of University 

 College for the privilege of holding the Meetings of the Club 

 in this room, which privilege has been continued for another 

 year, in the same courteous manner as heretofore. 



The Club has lost five members by death during the past 

 year— Mr. F. C. Barnett, Mr. T. W. Burr, Lt.-Col. Jeakes, 

 Mr. H. Lea, and Mr. J. A. Tulk. The loss of Mr. T. W. 

 Burr, who has been for more than six years a most active 

 and useful Member — for five years a member of the Com- 

 mittee, and lately a Vice-President — will be much felt, not 

 only in our Club, but also in the various other scientific 

 Societies to which he belonged ; and his ever ready resource 

 and wise counsel will long be remembered by those who have 

 acted with him. There have been also twentj^-four resigna- 

 tions, besides which the number of Members has been reduced
