K. G. R. Vaizey, A. H. Walker, M.D. L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., 

 Captain J. A. C. Whitaker. 



Mr. Harry Church Oberholser, a Foreign Member, was 

 elected an Honorary Member ; Captain S. A. White, an 

 Ordinary Member, was elected a Colonial Member; and 

 Mr. Naginachi Kuroda was elected a Foreign Member of 

 the Union. 



Tli^e President announced that the Committee recom- 

 mended that the names of all members of enemy nationality 

 should be removed from tlie published lists of the Union 

 for the duration of the war. After some discussion the 

 resolution was passed in an amended form as proposed by 

 Mr. R. W. Chase and seconded by Mr. H. B. Bootli as 

 follows : — *'That the names of all Honorary, Ordinary, and 

 other Members of enemy nationality be omitted from the 

 published lists of the Union and that they be removed from 

 the Society, provided that if re-elected at the expiration of 

 the war, they be not called upon to pay an entrance fee." 



Copies of some correspondence which had taken place 

 lictween Dr. H. O. Forbes and certain Members of the 

 Committee were laid on the table for the perusal of the 

 Members. Arising out of this. Dr. Forbes asked for a 

 Select Committee to be appointed to consider this corre- 

 spondence, to which the Committee had taken great 

 exception on account of the intemperate language used 

 by Dr. Forbes. 



The Chairman explained the attitude of the Committee 

 and suggested as alternative action to be taken, (1) The 

 appointment of a Select Committee, or (2) The calling of a 

 Special General Meeting at some future date to consider 

 the matter. 



Colonel Rattray and some others having pointed out the 

 great inconvenience that would be caused to Members 

 by calling another General Meeting, and having expressed 

 a strong wish that the matter should be finally settled 

 forthwith, moved a proposal to that effect, which was 

 seconded by Mr. Bunyard. This was almost unanimously 

 approved. ^^
