 Treasurer, but it was resumed on Feb. 26th, 1880, for two 

 meetings only. In the second volume of the Minutes the 

 names are written by the Treasurer, but the autographs of 

 the members, at the date of the Anniversary Meeting, April 

 26th, 1880, with those afterwards elected, are on the first 

 two pages, one name being duplicated ; three others (down 

 to 1891) are in pencil, after which two names only are written

 one on page 14 of the same volume, in the handwriting of
