6. The Jubilee Fete of 1887. 



In celebration of the Fiftieth Aimiversary of Her 

 Majesty^s reign, and in accordance with a general desire 

 to mark this epoch in some special manner, it was deter- 

 mined by the Council to hold the General Meeting of the 

 Society in June last in the Gardens, and at its conclusion 

 to have a general Reception of the Fellows of the Society 

 and other invited guests. 



This plan was carried out in a manner which, the 

 Council believe, was allowed on all sides to be very suc- 

 cessful. At the General Meeting which was first held, 

 after the usual formal business the Silver Medal, awarded 

 to the Maharajah of Kuch-Behar, in acknowledgment of 

 his donations to the Society's Menagerie, was presented 

 to His Highness in person, and suitably acknowledged. 

 Before concluding the Meeting the President of the 

 Society delivered an address upon the progress of the 

 Society since its commencement. The address, w'hich 

 will be found in the form of an Appendix to the present 

 Report, was received with much interest, and the vote 

 of thanks to Prof. Flower for preparing it was moved 

 by Sir Joseph Fayrer, F.R.S., and seconded by the 

 Maharajah of Kuch-Behar, F.Z.S. 



The Reception held after the General Meeting was 

 numerously attended by Fellows of the Society and their 

 friends and other specially invited guests, amongst whom 

 may be mentioned the Queen of Hawaii and Princess
