Mr. Warren then proposed votes of thanks to the Treasurer, . 
Committee, and Secretary. 
The Rev. W. Wrixxs seconded the motion, which was duly 
carried, and Mr. Stures, hon. secretary, offered a few remarks in 
acknowledgment. 
Mr. Lex said it had always been his endeavour to make this 
Club a Natural History Society as well as a Microscopical Society. 
Seeing the strides they had taken, it really became a question 
whether they should not add to their title that of a Croydon 
Natural History Society. If they would like to have it inserted, 
he had no doubt it could be done at the next meeting when they 
were discussing other alterations in the rules of which notice had 
been given. 
Mr. Joun Fuiower gave notice that at the next meeting 
he would move ‘‘ That the title of the Club be changed to that of 
the Croydon Microscopical and Natural History Club.”’ 
Mr. H. Turner gave notice that at the next meeting he would 
move ‘‘ that the rules as to the election of members be revised.”’ 
The Cuarrman then said that the popularity of the Club had 
been greatly dependant upon the assistance which had been afforded 
by the local press, and no one could appreciate more highly than 
he did the efforts of those gentlemen who prepared such copious 
and faithful reports of their proceedings. He begged to propose 
a vote of thanks to those gentlemen, and also to the editors of 
their respective papers, the former for kindly reporting the pro- 
ceedings of the Club, and the latter for publishing them. 
Mr. G. F. Liyvyey, in seconding the motion, boré testimony to 
the care which was exercised by the reporters in preparing for 
publication the transactions of the Club, a labour sometimes involv- 
ing no little difficulty, on account of the scientific nature of the 
subjects with which they had to deal. 
The motion having been put and carried, the company ad- 
journed to an ante-room, where a light refection of tea, coffee, &c., 
_had been prepared, and the remainder of the evening was spent in 
social intercourse. 
The following members exhibited microscopes: Mr. Beeby, 
Mr. F. E. Fletcher, Mr. Klaassen, Mr. H. Long, Mr. Lovett, 
Mr. §. Overton, Dr. Strong, Mr. A. D. Taylor, and Mr. E. B. 
Sturge. Mr. Lovett also exhibited some shells from the Victoria 
Nyanza, found by Colonel Gordon.
