The Secretary then read the 30th annual report. 

 The Treasurer read his annual statement of accounts, and 

 presented the duly audited balance sheet, pointing out at the 

 same time the difference in some items as compared with former 

 years, and showing that some additional expense on account of 

 the Journal had arisen from the greater number as well as the 

 improved character of the plates. 



Mr. Ingpen thought that no regret need be expressed as to 

 the small additional cost of the Journal, which was well worth

 to the Club during the whole of the period that he had occupied

 were not to be longer continued. He was not in any way 

 intending to disparage an old friend who had been elected to 

 succeed to the chair; they welcomed him cordially and would 

 serve under him with pleasure, but they could not see the 

 President of the last three years leave the chair without regret, 

 and more especially that they were unable to see him leave it 

 in better health than was the cue at the present time. Their
