where these phenomena existed; with that the speaker fully 
agreed. 
With respect to Mr. Elwes’s question as to the reason for 
concluding that the various members of a ‘ Millerian”’ 
group were inedible; that was an inference which was 
drawn from several data, in some instances resting on 
direct observation, in others depending mainly on the 
accordance of the characters exhibited with the logical 
requirements of the theory. Cases of the latter kind 
awaited verification. 
The suggestion made by Mr. Rothschild with regard to the 
similar results produced by a similar environment did not 
remove the difficulty ; for these effects were not uniform, and 
even closely allied species inhabiting the same region might 
differ widely in aspect. 
Special Meeting. 
At the close of the discussion, the meeting was resolved 
into a Special Meeting for the purpose of considering the 
proposed amendments and additions to the Society’s Bye-

On the motion of Mr. Merririezp, seconded by Dr. Dixey, 
it was unanimously agreed that the said amendments, etc., 
should be adopted, and that the Bye-Laws as amended should
