52 PROCEEDINGS OP THE 



A discussion followed, in which Messrs. A. 0. Walker, H. J. Elwes, 

 Clement lleid, H. Groves, Jeffrey Bell, P. L. Sclater, Sir George King, 

 W. M. Webb, and E. R. Sykes took part. 



Mr. H. Groves moved as an amendment to the first resolution to 

 omit all after the word " naming," and to substitute " is adequate 

 for the present needs of zoology and botany." This was seconded 

 by Dr. P. L. Sclater. 



Before this was put to the meeting Mr. H. W. Monckton raised a 

 technical objection to a vote being taken on the merits of Resolutions 

 which were in effect a part of a Paper submitted to the Society. 

 He thought the taking of such a vote could neither bo said to be 

 authorized by the Charter or Bye-laws nor sanctioned by the custom 

 of the Society. He suggested that the matter be referred back to 

 the Council to consider the point. 



The discussion was continued in order to elicit the views of those 

 present on the resolutions proposed by Mr. Bernard, but no vote 

 was taken.
