Before the minutes were read Mr. Devenish said this 

 was the first occasion the Club had met since Sir John Goldney 

 had returned to the Colony. During his absence the Club had 

 elected Sir John, President, and in the name of the club he 

 heartily welcomed His Honour and congratulated the club 

 upon having such an able and amiable man at their head. 



Sir John thanked Mr. Devenish and said that it was a great 

 honour to him to have been elected President of the club. 

 Although he was not at all a Naturalist he felt very proud of being

 Trinidad. He also mentioned that Avhen in England, he had had 

 several enquiries about the club from eminent scientific men and 

 it seemed that the club was well known outside of Trinidad, not 

 only in England, but he might venture to say in the whole world. 

 (Applause). 



The minutes of the last meeting were then read and 

 confirmed. After an .amendment to the rules, proposed by Mr. 

 Rousseau, had been agreed to, Mr. Potter read a useful paper
