Dr. Agnew, proposed by Mr. J. Allport, and 

 seconded with some complimentary remarks hy 

 Mr. Stephens, was unanimously adopted. 



Dr. Agnew returned tlianks. He Avas much 

 gratified at being able to report that tlie financial 

 condition of the Society was so comparatively 

 satisfactory, and he hoped by the invaluable as- 

 sistance of tlieir Curator, Mr. Roblin, to be able 

 next year to state that all liabilities had been 

 cleared off. This was much to be desired, as it 

 was becoming a matter of necessity that some 

 portion of the funds should be devoted to the 

 purchase of recent books of reference, etc., and 

 to other objects connected with the Institution. 



On the motion of Mr. Belstead, seconded by 

 Mr. J. M. Clarke, an unanimous vote of thanks 

 was accorded to the Chairman. 



The Chairman returned thanks, remarking that 

 he considered it would be desirable to have a micro- 

 scopical reunion at an early date for the special en- 

 tertainment of ladies ; and stating that, in con- 

 formity with a suggestion made by Mr. Giblinat the 

 last annual general meeting, he purposed giving an 

 address next year, should he then have the pleasure 

 of occupying his present position. 



The proceedings then terminated.
