TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



not involve this Society in any financial responsibility. The 

 Committee trust that their successors will give this scheme their 

 hearty support, and report from time to time to the Society. 



At the Statutory Meeting of the Society in December, the 

 Annual Report by the Committee of the Museum and Lecture Hall 

 was submitted. The vacancies then occurring in the Society's 

 Representatives in the Museum Committee were filled up by the re- 

 election of Mr. T. L. Patterson and Mr. M. F. Dunlop. 



The Office-bearers, whose term now expires, are Mr. T. L. 

 Patterson, Senior Vice-President ; Mr. James Slater, Secretary ; and 

 Mr. Alex. P. Lyle, Mr. Wm. M'Clure, jun., Mr. George Macdonald, 

 Mr. J. Campbell Hart, and Mr. James Aitken, Members of Committee. 

 With the exception of the Secretary, and Mr. A. P. Lyle (who was 

 appointed to a vacancy last year), they are severally ineligible to the 

 same office for the following year. 



The Committee regret that our worthy President has intimated 

 his intention to retire from office at this meeting. The Presidentship 

 is usually held for two years, but Mr. Mories has personal reasons 

 for giving up office now, to which the Committee have felt constrained 

 to give effect. He has acted as President with much acceptance ; 

 and the best thanks of the Society are due to him for his valuable 

 services, not only as President, but as a member of Committee for 

 some years. 



The Proceedings of the following Societies were received during 

 the year, viz.: — Canadian Institute, Toronto; Junior Engineering 

 Society, London ; Glasgow Philosophical Society.
