February 15th, 1895. — Annual Meeting. 

 E. M. Nelson, Esq., President, in the Chair. 

 The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and con- 

 firmed. 



The following gentlemen were balloted for and duly elected 

 members of the Club:— Mr. H. Cheese, Mr. T. S. Davis, Mr. G. 

 J. Harris, Mr. W. J. Marshall, Dr. J. W. Measures, Mr. W. J. 

 Wonfor, Dr. Tatham. 



The Secretary announced that the " Proceedings of the 

 Smithsonian Institution " had been presented to the library. 



Announcements of meetings, etc., for the ensuing month 

 were made, and the business of the annual meeting was then 

 proceeded with. 



The Secretary said that at their last ordinary meeting notice 

 was given that an amendment to Rules 2, 3, and 9 would be 

 proposed, to the effect that in future the Hon. Editor of the 

 Journal should be a member of the Committee. This could 

 hardly be called an innovation, because practically the Editor 

 had always attended, as he happened to be otherwise a mem- 

 ber of Committee, but to meet the case of anyone becoming 

 the Editor who was not one of the Committee this addition 

 seemed necessary. Of course, the desirability of the Editor of 

 the Journal being present at the meetings of the Committee 

 would be obvious to all. 



The proposal to add the words " Honorary Editor of the 

 Journal " to Rules 2, 3, and 9 was then put from the chair and 

 unanimously agreed to. 



The President having appointed Messrs. J. M. Allen and C. 

 L. Curties as scrutineers, the ballot was proceeded with for the 

 election of officers and four members of Committee. The 

 scrutineers subsequently reported that the whole of the officers 

 in the list of nominations had been duly elected, and also that 

 Messrs. Mori and, Dadswell, Bryce, and Parsons had been elected 

 members of Committee. 



The Secretary read the report of the Committee for the past 

 year. 



The Treasurer read his annual statement of accounts for the 

 same period. 



The adoption of the report and balance sheet having been 

 moved by Mr. Richard Smith and seconded by Mr. J. G. 

 Waller, was put to the meeting and carried unanimously.
