The Thirty-Fifth General Meeting. 135 
Report, observed that it was, on the whole, very satisfactory. They 
lamented, indeed, the loss of many Members (some of whom had 
been of the greatest use to them ever since the commencement of 
the Society), especially Mr. Henry Cunnington, but they were glad 
to hear that, although the Society had already existed for a period 
of more than thirty-five years, it had not lost its energy and vivacity. 
New Members were joining, and the funds were sufficient to give 
promise of useful work in the future. The publications of the Society 
continued to be of the greatest interest, and they welcomed this year 
the publication by Mr. Preston upon the flowering plants of Wilt-

greatest pleasure in proposing that those gentlemen who had been 
Officers in the past be re-elected, with such additions as would be 
notified. The Rev. Canon Jackson seconded the motion, which 
Was agreed to. 
The Rey. A. C. Suir announced that the Committee had ap- 
pointed Mr. Heward Bell as Librarian of the Society. Their books 
i had, he said, greatly increased in number, and having begun to get 
a little in confusion they found it necessary to appoint a Librarian. 
_ They found an excellent one in Mr. Bell, who had already set to 
ork upon the books, and made a catalogue of them. 
Mr. Mepuicorr moved that Mr. B. Howard Cunnington be one 
of the Curators of the Museum, in place of his late father. He had
