 has inflicted a heavy blow on the Society. He appears 

 to have been in delicate health on his arrival, having 

 suffered from fits of convulsions, the cause of which

 He died on the 6th April, after an illness of only twelve 

 hours' duration, every effort of veterinary skill having 

 proved insufficient to save his life. 



The foregoing Report was adopted — 



Mr. J. B. Jukes, in the absence of the Treasurer, read and 

 moved the adoption of the Treasurer's Account sheet for the 

 year, which was adopted by the Meeting. 



Dr. Corrigan then proposed, and Rev. Professor Haughton 

 seconded, the following changes in the Bye-Laws, which were 

 adopted by the Meeting : — 



" That the words ' of Council' be inserted after ' Member,' in chap. II., 

 sect. I., line 2. 



" That all the words following the words ' Ten Pounds,' in chap. II., 

 sect. 3, be omitted." 



The Ballot having been closed, the Council List proposed 

 by the retiring Council was declared duly elected. 



Rev. Professor Haughton, and Mr. J. B. Jukes, having 

 moved and seconded a resolution that Dr. Corrigan do take the 

 chair ; the thanks of the meeting were voted to Viscount 

 Powerscourt, President of the Society.
