Secretary Dr. Agnew, for the manner in which he 

 had conducted the business of the Society during 

 the year." 



Mr. H. BiLTON seconded the motion, which was 

 carried with acclamation. 



Dr. Agnew thanked the meeting for the com-

 which he felt in the progress of the Society. He 

 alluded to the very handsome ]Decuniary testimo- 

 nial with which they had presented him a short 

 time back, and said he had intended to have visited 

 Melbourne during the summer, and to have pur- 

 chased with it some lasting memorial of their kindr 

 ness, as he had been requested to do. Circum- 

 stances had, however, prevented him from leaving 

 Hobart Town up to this time, but he hoped he 

 would shortly be able to go accross the straits, 

 when he would take care to procure a suitable 

 testimonial. 



Mr. BucKLAND moved " that the thanks of the 

 meeting be given to the chairman for presiding 

 on that occasion." 



Mr. Baenard seconded the motion, which was 

 carried. 



Mr. GiBLiN said he was very sorry to have to

 paid him. He thought that one or other of the 

 vice-presidents should have been present to take 

 the chair, especially upon such an occasion. How- 

 ever, he thanked them for the vote accorded tQ 

 him. 



The proceedings then terminated,
