Ogle proposed to make a rule that, before the close of every 

 meeting, an opportunity should be given to members of asking 

 questions connected with the management of the Society. The 

 President, the Rev. J. Greene, and Allen, spoke against the pro- 

 posal, which, as no one seconded, was lost. 



Mr J. C. Jose gave notice that he should propose that ten mem- 

 bers should form a quorum of the Society.

 Trilobites, found by himself. 



The President then read a letter from Mr Barrington-Ward, 

 offering a prize for Natural Science — a silver medal — and bronze 

 medal for a second prize, if the competition be good. He pro- 

 posed a vote of thanks to Mr Ward, which was seconded by 

 Pearce, and carried unanimously. 



Mr J. E. Jose then brought forward his motion that the quorum 

 be fixed at ten members, which was seconded by Stevenson.

 this term," which was seconded by Pearce. A further amend- 

 ment to change the quorum to fifteen, was proposed by Don, and 

 seconded by Tebbs ; whereupon Gibbons withdrew his amend-

 be fixed at fifteen."
