Ordinary Meeting, March 19th, 1879. 
Joun Frower, M.A., F.Z.S., President, in the Chair. 
The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. 
The following gentlemen were balloted for and elected :— 
Mr. Richard Backwell, Mr. E. Mawley, Mr. H. T. Mennell, 
Mr. J. Poland, Mr. W. R. Harwood. 
The PresIDENT proposed four gentlemen for election as 
honorary members, and, in doing so, remarked that when the 
Club was in its infancy it was felt that they could hardly ask 
distinguished men to be connected with it, but now that the 
Club had increased to very considerable dimensions, and had 
come to be known beyond the limits of Croydon, the time had 
come when they could properly ask men who were eminent in 
science to accept the honorary membership of the Club. He 
had, therefore, pleasure in proposing Mr. John Evans, D.C.L., 
F.R.S., of Nash Mills, Hemel Hempstead, Herts; Professor 
W. H. Flower, LL.D., F.R.S., President of the Zoological 
Society of London, of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln’s 
Inn Fields, London; ProfessorJoseph Prestwich, M.A.,F.R.S., 
Professor of Geology in the University of Oxford, of No. 34, 
Broad-street, Oxford; and Professor George Rolleston, D.M., 
F.R.S., Linacre Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in the 
University of Oxford. 
The proposal was seconded by Dr. Carpenter, and the PRE- 
SIDENT announced that these gentlemen, having been duly 
nominated, would be balloted for, in accordance with the rules 
of the Club, at the next meeting on April 16th.
