Mr W. H. Massie, Edinburgh, seconded the motion, which 

 was unanimously adopted. 



Appeal for New Members. 



The Secretary mentioned that an appeal was now being 

 made by the President for new members, so as to add to 

 the strength of the Society and to increase the revenue. He 

 invited members who were present and other.s to send in names 

 of people to whom he might send this appeal. A large number 

 of appeals had already been issued, and the forty-five candidates 

 elected to-day were the first of these to respond. He expressed 

 the hope that this would be only the beginning of a very large 

 response to the appeal. 



This was all the business, and on the motion of Sir Kenneth 

 Mackenzie, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the 

 President for presiding.
