PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



COTTESWOLD NATURALISTS' FIELD CLUB 



AT THE 



ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING \ 



APRIL i2th, 1910 



THE REV. WALTER BUTT, M.A., J. P. 



IN THE CHAIR 



The Minutes of the last Annual Meeting were read and confirmed. 



The Hon. Treasurer presented his Financial Report, which was approved, 

 and showed that the Club was in a satisfactory financial position. 



Mr J. H. Hume-Rothery, M.A., B.Sc, was elected a Member of the 

 Club. 



The President then delivered his 



ANNUAL ADDRESS. 



This dealt with the losses and additions to the membership of the Club ; 

 the literary output of the Members ; and the progress made in connection 

 with the Flora of Gloucestershire. i 



Mr Butt then left the Chair. 



The Hon. Secretary then called upon the Rev. H. H. Winwood to pro- 

 pose the President for the coming year. 



Mr Winwood thanked the President for his address and efficient services, 

 and then proposed as his successor Mr W. Crooke, B.A., F.A.I. This was 

 seconded by Mr C. Bowly, who referred to the retiring President's interest in 

 botany, and thought that he had shown considerable qualification for 

 the office he had so well filled. The meeting warmly approved of Mr Crooke's 

 nomination, after which Mr Crooke returned thanks for the honour conferred 

 on him. He said that most of his life had been spent abroad, and such 

 knowledge as he possessed had been mainly acquired abroad. This made 

 him somewhat diffident in accepting a position of so much responsibility, but 

 having been trusted by Members of the Club, he would do all in his power to 

 maintain its high traditions during his term of office. 



The Vice-Presidents, Elected Members of Council, the Hon. Treasurer, 

 Hon. Librarian, Hon. Secretary and Hon. Assistant-Secretary were re-elected.
