election at the next meeting :—Mr. Alfred Toms, Lychett Villa, 
Tavistock-road, Croydon ; Mr. T. B. Moseley, Raymond Buildings, 
Gray’s Inn; Mr. John Corry, ‘‘ Rosenheim,” Park Hill-road, 
Croydon ; and Mr. Henry R. B. Podmore, of Brambletye, Bramley- 
hill, Croydon. 
The PresIpENT, as a matter arising out of the minutes of the 
last meeting, said that some books had been purchased, some of 
which were on the table ; others were ordered but had not yet 
~ been received. The committee would be happy to receive sugges- 
tions for the purchase of books, and would procure them if they 
felt justified in laying out the money. One splendid volume on the 
table, ‘‘ Carpenter’s Foraminifera,” had been presented to the Club 
by his friend, Mr: Frank Crisp, and he (the President) felt sure 
that the members would appreciate the gift. 
The proceedings of a most agreeable evening were then brought 
to a close. 
April 16th, 1873.—Paper read by Dr. Greenrieip, of St. Thomas 
Hospital, on ‘* The Structure and Distribution of the Blood vessels.” 
: 
The minutes were read by Mr. H. Long, the secretary, and 
confirmed. 
The Presipent, before proceeding to the business of the evening, 
said he regretted to have to mention the decease of one of their 
most prominent members. Their honorary treasurer, Mr. Flower, 
was no more. He (the President) had only just heard of his death, 
as he had been away from Croydon for some time, and probably 
everyone present knew of it before himself. He was sure the 
intelligence filled all of them with sorrow and regret. Mr. Flower 
was a kind and distinguished member from the first; a very 
distinguished man of science, and a highly respected inhabitant of 
Croydon. He (Mr. Lee) had looked forward to him and to Dr. 
Carpenter for assistance in forming their museum, and it was so 
short a time since they had seen him that they could scarcely 
realise the fact that he had passed away. He would say no more 
concerning Mr. Flower, except that he was sure a large circle of 
friends would sympathise with them in the sorrow they all felt for 
his death. 
Dr. GreenrietD then, at the request of the President, read his 
paper on “‘ The Structure and Distribution of the Bloodvessels,” 
dealing most ably with the subject, and giving not-only an account 
of the smaller vessels in the higher animals, but of their structure 
and mode of developement in some of the lower, illustrating his
