Mr. G. C. Karop, Secretary, then read the thh-ty-third Annual 

 Keport of the Club. 



Mr. J. J. Vezey, Treasurer, read his annual financial statement 

 and duly audited balance-sheet. 



Mr. J. W. Reed said he had much pleasure in proposing " that 

 the Keport of the Committee and also the Treasurer's balance- 

 sheet be received and adopted, and that they be printed and 

 circulated as usual." He felt sure the satisfactory character of 

 both would be apparent to all the members, and would need no 

 further remarks from him to recommend this resolution. 



Mr. B. W. Priest having seconded the motion, it was put to 

 the meeting by the President and unanimously carried. 



The President then read the Annual Address. 



Mr. A. D. Michael said he rose to move that their best thanks 

 he given to the President for the Address to which they had just 

 had the pleasure of listening, and that he be asked to allow it to 

 be printed in the Journal. He noticed with much interest that 

 the President said he was going to return to the old custom of 

 making the Annual Address an epitome of the work which had 

 been done during the year, this being how he had himself on 

 several occasions commenced his own Presidential addresses, 

 immediately afterwards to enter into subjects which had nothing 

 whatever to do with it. So when he found that the President 

 had no sooner made this announcement than he proceeded to give 

 them the results of his personal experience on matters of ilkimina- 

 tion, he felt that he had before him a very apt pupil. But 

 whether this Address was to be regarded as a summary of the 

 year's progress in microscopy, or as a piece of very practical 

 advice based upon personal experiences, which would be of value to 

 all, he was quite sure that they would join in giving a very hearty 

 vote of thanks to the President for what they had been hearing. 



Mr. C. West had much pleasure in seconding this motion, and 

 felt it was unnecessary to add anything to what Mr. Michael had 

 said, after the manner in which his remarks had been received. 



Mr. Michael said this was a vote which the President could 

 not put to the meeting himself ; he therefore asked them to 

 signify their approval, and declared it to be carried unanimously. 



The President expressed his thanks to the members of the 

 Club for this vote of thanks so kindly and courteously proposed 

 and so cordially carried.
