mitted free admission. 
The Treasurer’s account shows a balance in hand from the 
year’s receipts and expences of £14 7s. 1d. 
The album has had many additions during the past year from 
Dr. Mantell and Mr. Powell, the amateur photographers of the 
Club, and will in course of time afford a valuable collection of 
photographs of the archeology and geology of the neighbourhood. 
It now only remains for me to bid farewell to you, Sir, and 
the other members of the Club, this being the last time that i 
shall draw up the summary of the year’s Proceedings as your 
Secretary ; elected to that post on February 16th, 1863, hitherto 
supported by your counsel and advice, and receiving valuable 
aid and assistance from the Treasurer and other Officers, the 
dnties have been cheerfully undertaken. The time has now 
come, after 29 years of office, when the. work becomes too irksome 
for me—non sum qualis eram, It is well, moreover, that new spirit 
and fresh energy should be given to the post. The Rev. 
W. W. Martin, an old member of the Club, has kindly undertaken 
the office. Your interests will doubtlessly be well looked after 
by him, and the scientific character, as well as the social pleasures 
of the Club maintained with unabated vigour. May my successor, 
when his term of office expires, look back with as much pleasure 
as I do to many happy days spent and pleasant acquaintances 
made in your company ! 
H. H. WINWOOD, 
Hon. Sec.
