to be revealed by the microscope, are to be found in all directions, 
and are worthy of a search. 
a A suggestion having been made that the meetings of the Club 
_ should be held fortnightly instead of monthly, it was over-ruled 
_ temporarily by the President, who said that the Committee, at 
_ present, feared that a few young and enthusiastic members might 
attend fortnightly for a time, and afterwards grow tired of such 
frequent meetings. He would rather make them long for more, 
than that they should be tired of what they had. With regard to 
_ the flints of this neighbourhood, the President adverted to the 
beautiful collection which was in the possession of the late Mr. J. 
W. Flower. The Club on one occasion had been favoured with an 
”q inspection of that valuable collection, and he hoped that their friend, 
- Mr. John Flower, would afford them an opportunity of another 
q inspection. Had his lamented father been spared, there would have 
_ been no necessity for looking beyond the confines of the Club for a 
_ lecture on the Geology of Croydon. 
The proceedings then terminated.
