The motion was carried. 
The President’s paper on the Agricultural Improve- 
ment of the Sugar Cane having been declared open for 
discussion, the President read a * Note on the arrange- 
ment of Sugar Cane Experiments.” 
There being no discussion, Mr. Ai‘neas D. Mackay, 
proposed a vote of thanks, which was carried unani- 
mously, for the ** Note,” and expressed his regret that the 
Agricultural members of the Society had not nerers 
fit to attend and discuss the matter. 
Mr. Hargreaves suggested that in view af the dis- 
continuance of Zimehrz, the Directors might see their 
way to print the Proceedings of the Society, either half- 
yearly or annually, so as to form a continuous record for 
the information of the Members. 
The President suggested that Mr. Hargreaves should 
give notice of motion so that the matter might be brought 
up at the next meeting and the opinion of the Members be 
obtained, to which Mr. Hargreaves agreed.
