came into his possession collected by Mrs. Clarke, of Whitby, and 

 he now had to announce that 210 specimens of the Marine Algae of

 valuable donation, and thanks to Mr. Lee, through whom the present

 as Scrutineers of the ballot for the election of the officers of the 

 Society for the ensuing year. 



The Chairman announced that he had received a letter from Dr. 

 Royston-Pigott stating [that an error had been inadvertently made in

The Secretaries announced that the lamented illness and death of

 piled an account of the Society's operations during the past year, and 

 its present condition, to which Mr. Slack had added a resume of some 

 recent investigations with minute organisms. The Society was in- 

 debted to Dr. Millar for pre^jaring an Obituary Notice of the late 

 President. As Dr. Millar had some further additions to make, this 

 and similar notices would be taken as read, and would appear in the 

 next number of the Journal. 



At the conclusion of the Address, Mr. Glaisher then moved that a 

 special vote of thanks be given to Mr. Slack for the admirable Address 

 he had given, undertaken at very short notice in consequence of the 

 lamented event before referred to. 



The motion was unanimously agreed to ; and it was also resolved 

 that the Address be printed in the usual way. 



The Chairman having announced that the Scrutineers had reported 

 that the officers, as proposed by the Council, had been imanimously 

 elected, the meeting was adjoui'ned to the 1st March next, the alteration 

 in the day of meeting commencing from this time.
