Proceedini/s, 45- 



We record with sorrow the death of oiu- corresponding 

 member, Dr. Power, which occurred at Bedford on June 9th, 

 1886. Dr. Power showed an active mterest in the Club in 

 many ways, and the Club Herbarium was greatly enriched 

 by him. 



The papers read at the winter evening meetings were equal 

 in value to those of former years. A meeting, to which young 

 persons were specially invited, took the place of our ordinary 

 evenmg meeting in March. About 100 persons were then 

 present, and the addresses were listened to with much 

 attention. 



At the meeting in February, instead of papers being read 

 in the usual way, three subjects were chosen for discussion, 

 in which many members took part, thereby adding greatly to 

 the interest of the meeting. 



The following subjects occupied the attention of the Club 

 at the evening meetings : —

E. MUler Christy.
