Till' Meteorohiiiad Sub- Committee. — In the course of the summer 

 Mr. F. C. Bayard, of Wallington, suggested the expediency of 

 the Club undertaking the systematic reduction of the meteoro- 

 logical observations recorded iu Surrey, which he offered to 

 superintend on behalf of the Meteorological Sub-Committee, who 

 thereupon drew up a report on Mr. Bayard's proposition, which 

 was unanimously adopted by the Committee. The co-operation 

 of Mr. G. J. Symous was secured and a formal application from 

 the Honorary Secretary of the Club, with the copy of a letter 

 from ^Ir. Symons, was forwarded to all observers of rainfall in 

 the Club District and to local authorities likely to be able to 

 promote the inquiry. Up to the 31st of December Mr. Bayard 

 received thirty-four favourable replies, and it is hoped that by 

 the end of February the register of the daily fall of rain for 

 January, 1888, at these stations will be in the hands of the 

 members. It is intended to issue a copy of the record of the 

 January i-ainfall to every member of the Club, and of the rain- 

 fall of subsequent months to such members as may express in 

 writing their desire to have them. The thanks of the Club are 

 speciafly due to Mr. Bayard for undertaking this labour of love, 

 for it is of no light character, but involves much correspondence 

 and hard work; and to Mr. Symons, the chief authority on 

 rainfall in the United Kingdom, for his Iduduess in so readily 

 acceding to our request and in helping us in other ways, and for 

 which his election as an Honorary Member of the Club this 

 evening is but a fitting acknowledgment. I have no doubt that the 

 results of this investigation will redound to the credit of the Club.
