Proceedings. xix. 
Mr. Thomas Cushing, Mr. J. S. Johnson, Mr. H. Lee, Mr. G. 
Manners, Mr. K. McKean, Mr. H. Turner, and Mr. A. D. 
Taylor. 
Mr. J. Berney seconded the motion, which was put and 
carried. 
Mr. LEE proposed a vote of thanks to the President, to the 
treasurer, hon. secretary, and other officers during the past 
year; also to Mr. Corden, for his valuable tables on the 
meteorology of Croydon, the result of laborious and painstaking 
work during a period of ten years, and for which, as an addition 
to their library, Mr. Corden was entitled to a special vote of 
thanks from the Club. 
The PresIDENT having briefly acknowledged the vote of 
thanks, expressed a hope that some of the members would 
break through their reserve and come to the front in a way they 
were fully competent to do, by reading papers on subjects 
which could not fail to impart instruction to the Club. He 
should like them to look upon their fellow-members as students, 
anxious to instruct each other; and they would find that, in 
compiling their papers, they would learn things that they never 
knew before. He thanked the Club for the kind support they 
had invariably extended to him, and he had no doubt that his 
successor would be equally well supported. 
Dr. StronG then suggested that a few pounds should be 
expended in works of reference for the library. 
Mr. LEE explained that if it were found that the members 
applied for books the committee would be happy to consider 
Dr. Strong’s suggestion, but at present few applications were 
made. 
Mr. J. Berney said that unless the Club had a room of its 
own, the demand for books would not be great, as it was 
sometimes necessary for members to have their microscopes 
with them when they consulted their books. 
Mr. LEE said the books were in the care of the librarian of 
the Literary and Scientific Institution, and might be obtained 
at any time by members, who would be at liberty to take the 
books home with them. A list of the books was published in 
the records of their transactions. 
Mr. KiaasseEN then called attention to the wording of the 
first rule of the Club, which was somewhat ambiguous, and 
Mr. Lee, on behalf of the committee undertook that this should 
be considered with a view to the amendment of the rule in 
accordance with Mr. Klaassen’s suggestion. 
This brought the proceedings to a termination. 
The following objects were exhibited :—Mr. E. Gill, Larva 
of gnat; H. M. Klaassen, Human nerve; E. Lovett, Parasite
