Report of Society's Meetings. 431 



The President thanked the members for their ex- 

 pressions towards him and said he hoped that there 

 would be a larger attendance at the meetings in future. 

 With over five hundred members he thought it strange 

 that little more than a dozen could be got to attend 

 regularly. 



On the motion of Mr. S. R, Cochran, seconded by 

 Mr, /Eneas D. Mackay, Mr, R. G. Duncan was elected 

 Vice-President. 



The Ordinary, Managing and Exchange Room Direc- 

 tors were then ele6ted, after which the President in a 

 few highly complimentary expressions proposed that 

 Mr. Conyers be retained as Honorary Treasurer, which 

 was carried with acclamation. Mr. Thomas Daly was 

 also re-elected and the various Committees as per 

 following list (see over) : — 



In conne6lion with the Resident Dire6lor in London, 

 Mr. Luke M. Hill asked if Mr. Nevile Lubbock could 

 not look after the exhibits at the Imperial Institute? 



The President in reply, said they had a Committee for 

 that purpose, but although the matter was under con- 

 sideration it had not yet been arranged. It was pro- 

 bable that the Government would be asked to grant a 

 small amount for a Curator, but he did not think the 

 Resident Dire6lor could do the work. 



Mr. .(^neas D. Mackay asked permission to have 

 copies of the papers in connexion with corn drying in 

 the United States, obtained some years ago through 

 Major Walthall, which was granted. 



The meeting them terminated.
