V. Filling op Vacancies. 

 Nomination papers were sent out in due course for the election of one additional member in the 

 Third and Fourth Sections respectively, but no candidate received tlie i-cquisitc majority of votes. In 

 Section Three there are at present onl}' twenty members, as it has not hei'ctoibro complied with the 

 rule which allows the election of an additional member each year until the number of twenty-five is 

 reached. The First and Second Sections have carried out the lulc and annually elected such addi- 

 tional members, and tliey now contain respectively the number of twenty-three. The Fourth Section 

 contains twentj'-two members. Under the circumstances (he Council refer the whole matter of the 

 election to the Third and Fourth Sections, and recommend that steps be taken to make their mem- 

 bership as efficient and complete as possible.

At the annual general meeting in 1893 the First and Second Sections unanimously elected as 

 corresponding members M. Jules Claretie, of the Comédie-Française, and Mr. Henry Harrisse, now of 

 Paris. The following replies have been received from these two gentlemen, one of whom accepts, 

 and the other is compelled to decline the distinction for rsasons which are quite intelligible, and of 

 which the Society was ignorant at the time of nomination :
