A letter was read from the Rev. Mr. Erhardt, Superintendent of the 

 Secundra Orphanage, in reply to a letter of the Secretary, written in 

 compliance with the resolution passed at the general meeting in June, asking 

 for further information as to the fact of the finding of certain children in 

 the company of wolves. Mr. Erhardt gave no new facts, but stated his very 

 strong belief of one of the children referred to having been burnt out of a 

 wolves' den, such belief being founded on the extremely animal-like and filthy 

 propensities of the child when brought to the asylum, the recent burns on 

 his person and the testimony of the persons who brought him. 



The following gentlemen duly proposed and seconded, were balloted for 

 and elected ordinary members.
