   E. 
  BuLLEN 
  Newton, 
  F.G.S., 
  President, 
  in 
  the 
  Chair. 
  

   Mr. 
  Harold 
  Hannibal 
  was 
  elected 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  the 
  Society. 
  

   The 
  President 
  moved 
  the 
  following 
  resolution 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  That 
  the 
  Malacological 
  Society 
  of 
  London 
  views 
  with 
  great 
  anxiety 
  the 
  

   proposal 
  to 
  provide 
  for 
  the 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  Science 
  Museum 
  by 
  assigning 
  

   for 
  that 
  purpose 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  site 
  which 
  has 
  hitherto 
  been 
  regarded 
  as 
  

   belonging 
  to 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Natural 
  History). 
  

  

  ' 
  ' 
  Its 
  members 
  desire 
  to 
  express 
  their 
  opinion 
  that 
  the 
  growth 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  

   Museum 
  (Natural 
  History), 
  which 
  must 
  inevitably 
  take 
  place 
  as 
  time 
  goes 
  on, 
  

   will 
  require 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  site 
  which 
  is 
  bounded 
  to 
  the 
  nor|;h 
  by 
  the 
  line 
  

   fixed 
  by 
  the 
  Treasury 
  and 
  the 
  Office 
  of 
  Works 
  in 
  1899. 
  They 
  consider 
  that 
  

   it 
  would 
  be 
  a 
  grave 
  misfortune 
  if 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  the 
  Museum 
  were 
  to 
  

   be 
  cramped 
  in 
  the 
  future 
  by 
  a 
  reversal 
  of 
  the 
  policy 
  which 
  allocated 
  a 
  

   substantial 
  margin 
  of 
  ground 
  for 
  that 
  purpose. 
  They 
  venture 
  to 
  express 
  

   the 
  hope 
  that 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  possible 
  to 
  provide 
  for 
  the 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  Science 
  

   Museum 
  without 
  encroaching 
  on 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Natural 
  

   History) 
  . 
  

  

  "That 
  copies 
  of 
  this 
  resolution 
  be 
  forwarded 
  to 
  the 
  Prime 
  Minister, 
  the 
  

   Trustees 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  and 
  the 
  Press."
