MR. Avery : It seems to me that this paper ought not to 

 be passed without extending- our greetings to Dr. Henshall 

 and the thanks of the Association for his most excellent pre- 

 sentation of this subject. If any of us are fortunate enough 

 to reach the age of eighty-eight and possess the keen men- 

 tality of Dr. Henshall, it will be a matter of congratulation to 

 himself. I move you, Mr. President, that we extend our 

 greetings to Dr. Henshall on this occasion and that the Secre- 

 tary be requested to wire him accordingly. 



The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
