EEPORT OF COUNCIL. 109 



Treasurer and most valued adviser, finds it necessary, on account of 

 tlie large demands on his time, to withdraw from the office which 

 he has held with so much advantage to the Association. Mr. Crisp 

 will remain a member of the Council, and continue to give the Asso- 

 ciation the benefit of his wide expeinence, but having helped the 

 Association through the heavy work of collecting funds and superin- 

 tepding the contracts and similar matters connected with the erec- 

 tion of the Plymouth Laboratory, he desires to pass on his office to 

 other hands. Mr. Crisp has been a generous subscriber to the funds 

 of the Association, but the legal and administrative work which he 

 has freely given to its service has been of a value which the Council 

 can only indicate by the expression of their warmest gratitude. 



The Council propose Mr. E. L. Beckwith, late Prime Warden of 

 the Fishmongers' Company for election as Honorary Treasurer in 

 succession to Mr. Crisp.
