Mr. Beck and Dr. Gibbes having been appointed Scrutineers, pro- 

 ceeded to take the ballot, and subsequently reported that the above- 

 mentioned Fellows were all duly elected. A vote of thanks to the 

 Scrutineers was unanimously carried. 



Mr. Beck said it had been usual to regard a vote of thanks to the 

 Secretaries as a matter of course, but he thought that at no previous 

 time did they so much deserve that a hearty vote of thanks should be 

 offered to them. The Society was very greatly indebted for their 

 services, and it was not as a mere matter of form that he made the 

 proposition that they should be thanked for the able manner in which 

 the business of the Society was conducted. 



The President thought there could be no difference of opinion 

 upon this matter. The Secretaries were the very life and soul of the 

 Society, and most heartily deserved their thanks. The motion was 

 then put from the chair, and carried by acclamation.
