RePort OF SOCIETY'S MEETINGS. 381 
ceedings of the Society half-yearly or annually, under 
the name of Zzmehrz, | 
Mr. Hargreaves was continuing when Mr. Luke M 
Hill called attention to the fact that, owing to the depar- 
ture of a member, there was no longer a quorum, the 
Chairman therefore declared the meeting to be informal 
and allowed Mr. Hargreaves to lay over his amended 
motion until the next meeting. 
The Secretary hoped that there would be a larger 
attendance at the next meeting, which was that for the 
eleétion of Office-bearers for 1898.
