PROCEEDINGS, JUNE. 



JUNE, 1888. 



The usual monthly meeting of this Society was held on June 11th, at 

 the Museum, but owing to the unpropitious weather the attendance was 

 much smaller than usual. In the absence of the president (His Excel- 

 lency the Governor) Mr. James Baiinard took the chair, and in opening 

 the meeting, stated that His Excellency Sir R. G. C. Hamilton was absent 

 in the country, but had expressed his desire that the business of the even- 

 ing sliould not be postponed. Although the attendance was small, he (the 

 chairman) should proceed with the reading of the papers, and not break 

 the regularity of their meetings. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Barnard directed 

 the attention of the ladies and gentlemen present to the bound book of 

 proceedings for the past year as printed and published at Tht Mtrcury 

 office, and which were laid on the table for the use of members. He 

 said the book had been well printed, and was got up in a most 

 creditable manner, it having received the attention which it deserved.
