Your Committee desire to thank the officers for their long 

 continued and valuable services in their several departments. 



Finally, and in view of the undoubted fact that microscopy 

 as a recreative pursuit, apart from the special relations it has 

 acquired with nearly every branch of science, is less popular 

 than it was some twenty years ago ; from the active interest 

 manifestly shown at all the meetings, the good-fellowship 

 which unites its members, and the careful way its affairs are 

 administered, your Committee can only augur well of the 

 future of the Club. It has met the requirements of a large 

 class of earnest workers for thirty-one years, and may it long 

 continue to flourish.
