REPORT OF EXCURSION TO MORNINGTON. 



The Rev. A. W. Cresswell, M.A., brought up a report of the 

 excursion to Mornington on 24th May, which, although it nearly 

 fell through from lack of attendance of those interested in geology, 

 yielded fair returns in the way of specimens and a large amount 

 of pleasure to the two gentlemen who essayed the trip. 



ALTERATION OF RULE IO. 



Mr. F. G. A. Barnard moved that the words " and two 

 secretaries " in Rule 10 be altered so as to read "and secretary " 

 — his arguments for the alteration being based on the experience 

 of previous secretaries. The alteration was agreed to by the 

 majority of members present. 



ELECTION OF OFFICE-BEARERS FOR 1892-93. 



An election of office-bearers then took place, and resulted in 

 the return of all the members of the old executive, the result 

 being as follows : — President, Professor W. Baldwin Spencer, 

 M.A. ; vice-presidents, Mr. D. Best, Mr. C. Frost, F.L.S. ; 

 hon. treasurer, Mr. F. Wisewould ; hon. librarian, Mr. F. G. A. 

 Barnard ; hon. secretary, Rev. W. Fielder ; hon. editor of the 

 Victorian Naturalist, Mr. A. H. S. Lucas, M.A., B.Sc. ; 

 committee — Dr. A. Dendy, F.L.S., Mr. J. Gabriel, Mr. C. 

 French, F.L S., Mr. T. Steel, F.C.S., Mr. H. T. Tisdall, F.L.S. 



Mr. C. Frost called attention to the retirement through press 

 of private work of Mr. Dudley Le Souef as one of the hon. 

 secretaries, and referred in fitting terms to the fact that he had 

 taken up the work at a time when it was difficult to get anyone 

 else, and that he had thrown into it an enthusiasm which was 

 now bearing fruit in the enhanced prosperity and usefulness of 

 the Club. 



Mr. Le Souef suitably acknowledged the vote of thanks accorded 

 him.
