as Transparent Lantern Slides," and also to John Cordeaux, 

 J. P., F.R.G.S., M.B.O.U., for his paper on " The Migration 

 of Birds." 



The Council unanimously recommended to the Club the 

 election of John Cordeaux, J. P., F.R.G.S., M.B.O.U., as an 

 honorary member. Mr. Cordeaux has on several occasions 

 addressed the Club on that subject, which he has so deeply 

 studied, and the Council felt that members would be glad to 

 add his name to the other distinugished naturalists who are 

 honorary members of the Club. 



Owing to removal from Leeds, J. H. Wilson, D.Sc, 

 F.R.S.E., resigned his position on the Council, This 

 was a loss to the Club, which had benefited largely from 

 Dr, Wilson's short residence in Leeds. H. Crowther, 

 F.R.M.S., also expressed his desire to retire from the 

 Council, where his presence and advice proved most 

 valuable. The Council were pleased to learn, however, that 

 he would still continue to contribute papers from time to 

 time. 



The following additions were made to the Library 

 during the year : — Report of the British Association, 1896 ; 

 " Observations on the Morphology of Species of the Genus 

 Ulex," Harold Wager, F.L.S. ; "Common Freshwater 

 Shells," Ernest Berry Smith. 



The following addition was made to the Club's Museum 

 by presentation: — "Foraminifera," a Series of Microscopic 

 Slides (J. W. Dixon). 



At a General Meeting of the Club held on February loth, 



the following new rule was adopted : — 



'.' That the name of any member whose subscription is in arrear, 

 or shall become in arrear for two years, shall, after one month's 

 notice in writing from the Honorary Treasurer, be struck off 

 the roll of members, and such member shall thereupon cease 

 to be a member of the Club." 



The Council cordially expressed their thanks to W. S. 

 Crowther for his discharge of the duties of Honorary Secre- 

 tary during the year at considerable personal inconvenience.
