inside a vacuum tube, were known to exist, and it is wonderful 

 how much of the discovery is dealt with in Rontgen's short paper. 



We are all deeply indebted to the President for his Address, 

 and I propose a hearty vote of thanks to him for it, and to those 

 who have read papers before the Victoria Institute during this 

 session (Applause). 



Sir Joseph Fayrer, Bart., F.R.S. — 1 have much pleasure in 

 seconding the resolution.

The President (Sir G. G. Stokes, Bart.). — I will only detain 

 you to express the thanks I feel for the very kind manner in 

 which you have received my Address. (Cheers.) 



[Dr. Gerard Smith, M.R.C.S., a Member of Council, very 

 kindly added to the interest of the Meeting by exhibiting some 

 very remarkable specimens of surgical and other subjects taken by 

 means of the Rontgen rays.] 



The Meeting was then adjourned.
