Mr. H. Morland. 



Ordinary Meeting. — September 20th, 1895. 

 E. M. Nelson, Esq., F.R.M.S., President, in the Chair. 



In the absence of the Hon. Secretary, the minutes of the pre- 

 ceding meeting were read by Mr. J, J. Vesey and were duly con- 

 firmed. 



Mr. Vezey said that Mr. Karop was away for a holiday in 

 Germany, and had recently been visiting Jena, where he seemed 

 to have met with a most pleasant and cordial reception from Dr« 

 Zeiss and others, who took him all over their works and spared 

 no pains to make his visit thoroughly enjoyable. He said in his 

 letter that he felt the honour done to him was largely due to his 

 official connection with the Club, and he wished to let the members 

 know of the kind of feeling which had been manifested towards 

 him on that account. No doubt when he returned they should 

 hear more about his visit. 



Mr. Vezey said they had also received a copy of the " Evening 

 Observer" of Brisbane, from which he read an extract with 

 reference to the work which was being done out there by their 

 member Mr. C. J. Pound, who was Bacteriologist to the Stock 

 Institute in Queensland. From this it appeared that the discovery 

 of the bacillus of chicken cholera had been recently made in 

 Australia, and it was expected that the knowledge gained would 

 lead to an important and effective means of dealing with the rabbit 

 plague in that country. 



Mr. C. Rousselet's paper " On some New Species of Rotifers 

 found at the Excursions of the Club," was, in the absence of the 

 author, read by Mr. Western, who, having had the opportunity of 

 examining the specimens, was able to speak to the accuracy both 

 of the descriptions and of the drawings by which they were 

 illustrated. 



The President felt sure the members would join in according 

 a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Rousselet for his interesting paper 

 and the plates which accompanied it, and also to Mr. Western for 

 so kindly reading it on that occasion.
