The Secretary then announced the result of the ballot to be as

 Dr. Cooke, Dr. Matthews, and Mr. C. Stewart ; New Members of Com- 

 mittee—Mr. W. H. Gilburt, Mr. J. W. Goodinge, Mr. H. F. Hailes, Mr. A.

 tary — Dr. M. C. Cooke ; Hon. Reporter — Mr. R. T. Lewis ; Hon. Librarian —

The President said that in quitting his office it was some personal satis- 

 faction to him to know that the chair would be occupied by one who had 

 the interests of the Club so much at heart as Mr. White. In him they 

 would find one who had borne the burden and heat of the day. The posi- 

 tion was one of confidence, and was conferred as an expression of more 

 than goodwill, but he could not fail to notice the accidental alternations in 

 the list of Presidents by which an outsider and an insider seemed to follow 

 one another, and he thought it rather a good thing, and quite right that it 

 should be so. He had great satisfaction in leaving in the chair one who had 

 worked in perfect harmony with himself, and had great pleasure in con- 

 gratulating Mr. White on the occasion. 



Mr. White having returned thanks, the proceedings terminated in the 

 usual manner, the following objects being exhibited : — 



Fredricella ... ... ... ... Mr. J. D. Hardy, 



Citrus aurantium (transverse section of leaf) Mr, J. W. Reed. 

 Attendance — Members, 75 ; Visitors, 5.
