Mr. A. Bacot proposed that the Council's Report be adopted. 

 This was seconded by Dr. T. A. Chapman, and carried 

 unanimously. 



The President stated that since his decision last year he 

 had come to the conclusion that the latest edition of the Bye- 

 laws required some form of election of Officers and Council at 

 the Annual Meeting, though it seemed impossible to follow 

 them out exactly, as they apparently neither provided for nor 

 contemplated an unopposed return of the Council's nominees. 

 He would therefore put the Council's list to the Meeting and 

 ask for a show of hands. The following were then declared 

 elected unanimously : President, G. T. Bethune-Bakei% F.L.S., 

 F.Z.S.; Treasurer, Albert H. Jones ; Secretaries, Commander 

 J. J. Walker, M.A., R.N., F.L.S., and Rev. G.Wheeler, M.A., 

 F.Z.S. ; Librarian, G. C. Champion, A.L.S., F.Z.S. ; Other 

 members of the Council : R. Adkin, James E. Collin, J. 

 Hartley Durrant, Stanley Edwards, F.L.S., F.Z.S., H. Eltring- 

 ham, M.A., F.Z.S., A. E. Gibbs, F.L.S., F.Z.S., Rev. F. D. 

 Morice, M.A., G. W. Nicholson, M.A., M.D., Hon. N. C. 

 Rothschild, M.A., F.L.S., F.Z.S., W. E. Sharp, J. R. le B.
