view of this the nominations must be made at the present 

 meeting. They would also be asked to elect an Auditor to act 

 with the gentleman who would be appointed in that capacity 

 by the Committee. The nominations for officers made by the 

 Committee would be as follows: — As President, Mr. J. Q-. 

 Waller ; as Vice-Presidents, Messrs. Dallinger, Michael, 

 Newton, and Dadswell ; as officers, those who had acted 

 during the current year. The Committee also appointed Mr. 

 J. M. Allen to be the Auditor on behalf of the Committee. 

 There would be this time five vacancies to fill up on the 

 Committee caused by the retirement by rotation of Messrs.

As Auditor on behalf of the members, Mr. W. J. Chapman 

 was proposed by Mr. Groodwin, seconded by Mr. West, and

A paper by Mr. Dunlop on a new species of Rotifer, which 

 it was proposed to call Metopidia pterygoida, was read by Mr. 

 Scourfield. The distinctive features of this Rotifer were 

 shown by a diagram drawn upon the board, and a specimen 

 was exhibited under a microscope in the room. 



Mr. Rousselet said he could add nothing to the information 

 supplied by this paper. The slide exhibited contained the
