by Mr. Kirke, the Hon. Dr. Carrington as Vice-President. 

 The other Dire6lors and Office-bearers were allowed to 

 remain as in 1890, except that as Mr. A. G. Clarke had 

 been ele6led an Ordinary Dire6lor his place as Exchange 

 Room Dire6lor was filled by Mr. J. J. Dare. The 

 Agricultural Committee was allowed to remain as before 

 except that Messrs. Nind and G. Garnett, being out of 

 the colony, were struck off and Mr. Jenman added. 

 Some discussion took place as to the necessity of retain- 

 ing the Commercial Committee, but on the motion of 

 Mr. Winter, seconded by Dr. Carrington, it was allowed 

 to remain, with two or three alterations. The Com- 

 mittee of Correspondence was then proposed to be left 

 as before, but an amendment was proposed by Major 

 Walthall and seconded by Mr. Mackay, that as a smaller 

 number of members would be likely to work better, 

 the number be reduced to ten. This being put to 

 the vote, was carried by seven against six, several 

 members remaining neutral ; it being understood that 

 this vote was not to hamper that Committee in any way, 

 or prevent their adding to their number if necessary. 

 The Committee was then ele6ted. The Book Com- 

 mittee was allowed to remain, with slight alterations, 

 and the Resident Dire6lor in London was re-ele6ted. 



The thanks of the Society were accorded for the 

 following donations : — 



From G. H. Hawtayne ... Four rubbings from Tombs. 



„ Nevile Lubbock ... Reports on Manures. 



,, Dr. A. Matthey ... Physical Geography of the Sea. 



The meeting then terminated.
