The Secretary said they had received a communication with 

 respect to a Photographic Exhibition which it was proposed to 

 hold at the Imperial Institute from May to August next ; any 

 member of the Club desiring to exhibit was asked to communicate 

 with the Secretary of the Institute, Sir Freclk. Abel. 



The Secretary said there was a further important donation to 

 announce, and that was the gift of two dozen lamps and a cabinet 

 of slides from the Committee of the South London Microscopical 

 and Natural History Society, which after 24 years had experienced 

 the fate of some other kindred societies, and owing to the falling off 

 of its members had been finally dissolved. The Committee had 

 decided upon distributing their property amongst existent societies 

 to whom it was likely to be of service, and the items before men- 

 tioned had fallen to the share of the Quekett Club. The lamps 

 would no doubt be extremely useful, and the slides would be ex- 

 amined to see what use could be made of them. He proposed 

 that they should pass a hearty vote of thanks to the Committee 

 of the Club, and also to Mr. Dadswell, who he thought had been 

 largely the means of securing this donation for them.
