XV.—MONTHLY SUMMARY. 
Marcu 1, 1863. 
Subscriptions for 1863.— Fellows are reminded that the Annual 
Subscriptions are now due, and may be paid at the offices at the Garden, 
South Kensington, or by remittance—if by cheque, crossed CALL AND 
Co. ; if by post office order, then payable to ANDREW Murray, Assistant 
Secretary, at Charing Cross post-office. 
Tickets for 1863, —The whole of the Life Members’ Tickets have 
now been issued : any one who may not have received them is requested 
to inform the Assistant-Secretary, as the old tickets (for 1862) having 
been thus replaced are now stopped. The Annual Subscribers who 
have not yet paid their Subscriptions, (and who have consequently not yet 
received their tickets,) and the bearers of their transferable tickets, are 
requested to sign their names on entering. 
Proceedings at Annual Meeting.—This Meeting was held in the 
Council Room, on Tuesday, the 10th of February; Sir Wentworth 
Dilke, Bart., in the Chair. The Report by the Council to the Meeting 
will be found at p. 48. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by 
Judge Des Barres, it was received, adopted, and ordered to be си“. 
culated. A ballot then took place forthe election of new members of 
Council and office bearers, in place of those retiring, when Sir Daniel 
Cooper, Bart., the Rev. Joshua Dix, and John Kelk, Esq., were elected 
in place of the Earl Somers, the Lord Bishop of Winchester, and 
Henry Pownall, Esq. His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch was re-elected 
President. John Clutton, Esq., was elected Treasurer, and William 
Wilson Saunders, Esq., Secretary. The latter was the most important 
change now made, It will be seen from the Report that Dr. Lindley 
had tendered his resignation of the office of Secretary to the Society 
last year, and only consented to continue to hold it for another year at 
the solicitation of the Council, who urged it on the ground, that as he 
had supported the Society during its period of depression, he would 
remain until that year had crowned his labours with success. They 
had now most reluctantly yielded to his wishes, and accepted his 
resignation. The Meeting on this point sympathised most cordially 
with the Council's regret. On the motion of Mr. Wilson Saunders, 
seconded by Mr. Alderman Copeland, the best thanks of the Society 
were directed to be given to Dr. Lindley for the eminent services he 
had rendered to the Society. 
It was also agreed on the motion of Mr. Alderman Copeland, seconded 
by Mr. Bateman, of Biddulph Grange, that a circular should be issued 
calling attention to the vote of thanks, and inviting subscriptions for a 
testimonial to Dr, Lindley, each subscription to be limited to one guinea. 
On the motion of Mr. Bohn, seconded by Col. Wilson, it was 
resolved, that in future those Fellows who wish to have a copy of the 
Report from the Council and of the balloting lists prior to the Annual 
Meeting may obtain them on application at the offices. А
