REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE ON GENETICS. 63 
for the Horticultural Club, and I ask you to drink the health of a good 
gardener, a great sportsman, and an all-round English gentleman—* Our 
Chairman.” 
The toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. 
Sir John Llewelyn, in replying to the toast, said :—I thank you, gentle- 
men, very heartily for the exceedingly kind way in which my name has 
been proposed to you and for the way it has been received by this dis- 
tinguished company. My friend Colonel Prain, you may know, is a 
Fellow of the Royal Society, and is also the distinguished head of the 
great national garden at Kew—a garden of which we are all exceedingly 
proud. Many a time, I have been there, and many a time have I seen 
hundreds, I might say thousands, of people, one and all enjoying the 
beautiful gardens of our national possession. Long may Colonel Prain 
be there to superintend its destinies. 
And now as to our dinner. I should like to give credit where credit is 
due. The organisation of this dinner has been very well managed by 
our excellent Secretary, Mr. Cook; and I can assure you that the honour 
of having had you as our guests will ever make your visit to the Club 
memorable when you shall have left this little island of ours and returned 
to the different parts of the world trom which you have so kindly come to 
visit us. And I hope that our little convivial meeting here to-night may 
also linger in your memories and recall to you occasionally, as it will 
constantly to us, a very pleasant and enjoyable evening at the Third 
Conference on Genetics. °
