ii. REPORT OF COUNCIL. 



was elected Vice-President in March, and Mr. Weston took 

 Mr. Gurney's place on the Council ; Mr. G. Watkins again 

 accepting the position of Hon. Auditor. 



The Council notes with pleasure the honour accorded 

 to one of our members, F. M. Bailey, Esq., F.L.S., in creating 

 him C.M.G. This appreciation of a life time of devotion 

 to Botanical Science must be viewed with satisfaction by 

 all scientists. 



Part II. of Vol. XXII. of our Proceedings was issued 

 during the year. 



The papers for last year have added largely to our 

 record of original research, and the forthcoming volume 

 of Proceedings will be one of the bulkiest and most valuable,, 

 scientifically, that we have issued. 



An attempt was made to let authors have their author's 

 copies as soon as possible after the delivery of their papers, 

 and our printers have done their best to help. 



The early inception of the University should give a 

 decided impetus to scientific research. 



Our Library is almost too large for the space at our 

 disposal, and keeps growing. Some interesting publica- 

 tions on Malaria Prevention were received, in answer to 

 our requests, from the Health Departments and experts 

 of the world. When the permanent location of the Library 

 is fixed, it wall be wise to bind a large mass of valuable 

 matter still unbound. 



By Appendix C, it will be seen that receipts for the 

 year exceeded expenditure by £27 Os. 5d. The credit 

 balance at the end of 1908 was £9 2s. 6d. ; at the end of. 

 1909, £22 12s. 4d. ; and at the end of 1910, £49 12s. 9d^
