would also remark that Dr. Agnew was tlie only 

 one of the Vice-Presidents wlio regularly attended

Mr. SusMAN agreed that the thanks of every 

 Fellow was due to Dr. Agnew. He only wished 

 that Mr. Abbott had gone farther arid made some 

 substantial motion as to how they should express 

 their thanks, whether by address or otherwise. 



Mr. Abbott suggested that that should be left 

 to the Council. 



Mr. Stephens said the very existence of the 

 Society depended more on Dr. Agnew than on 

 any other support that could be mentioned, but 

 unless Mr. Abbott suggested something he did not 

 know what more than a formal vote of thanks 

 they could give. 



After one or two farther remarks, 



Mr. Stephens proposed that a formal vote of 

 thanks be given to Dr. Agnew. 



Mr. BucivLAND seconded, and suggested that the 

 Council be requested to consider how the thanks 

 of the Society could be best substantially given 

 to Dr. Agnew. 



The Chairman, in putting the motion, bore 

 testimony to the services rendered by Dr. Agnew 

 to the Museum, the Gardens, and, in fact, to the 

 Society in every way. 



The motion was unanimously agreed to. 



Dr. Agnew returned thanks for the very kind 

 manner in which the motion had been proposed 

 and received. Such a vote was an ample recog- 

 nition for the little he had been able to do for the 

 Society. During the ensuing session he hoped a 

 greater variety of papers would be laid before the 

 evening meetings, and he begged to press upon 

 Fellows the importance of communicating to the 

 Society any information they might acquire
