The Srcrerary (Prof. Hunt, LL.D., F.R.S.).—Mz». President, 
ladies and gentlemen, I think it is only right that at this first 
meeting of Members of the Institute since my election as Secretary, 
I should take the opportunity of expressing to you, Mr. President, 
gentlemen of the Council, and lady and gentlemen Members, my 
deep appreciation of your kindness, and also of the honour you 
have done me, by electing me Secretary of the Institute, particu- 
larly as following so able a man as the late Secretary, Captain 
Petrie. 
T assure you [ count it a very high honour, and I may say that 
after the experience of about six months of office I have found the 
work of the Institute increasingly interesting, and such as falls 
within my own views and expectations. 
I hope you will have no reason to regret your choice, and I will 
say that I shall do everything in my power, as long as I hold this 
office, to advance the interests of the Institute and those high 
principles for which it was founded.
