ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



Mr. H. M. Jeffert, before the adoption of tlie report was 

 proposed, said lie thought the report would be incomplete if it 

 did not contain a recognition of the special and valuable work 

 performed by Major Parkyn, one of their secretaries — (applause.) 

 Major Parkyn deserved their thanks for many extra-official 

 offices which he had rendered to the institution ; besides the 

 collecting the portraits of the gentlemen, who had filled the 

 presidential chair, he had been most diligent in making up for 

 the neglect of former years by completing the arrears of work — 

 (applause). 



The President endorsed what Mr. Jeffery had said 

 regarding Major Parkyn, and added that very few knew how 

 much work had devolved upon him (Major Parkyn) during the 

 past year. Mr. H. M. Whitley, their other secretary, was also 

 deserving of their gratitude — (applause). 



It was decided to insert a paragraph in the report recog- 

 nising the services of Major Parkyn and Mr. H. M. "Whitley, 

 the hon. secretaries. 



Canon Moor, in moving the adoption of the report, availed 

 himself of the occasion to emphasize what had been said 

 respecting the extreme value of the services Major Parkyn had 

 rendered to the institution. Major Parkyn had worked patiently 

 and assiduously, and had brought their library into a most 

 creditable condition. 



Mr. E. Tweedy seconded the motion, and it was carried 

 unanimously.
