 PKOCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Annual Meeting op 10th Febbuaey, 1886, at King's College, 

 Steand, W.C, the Pbesident (the Eev. Db. Dalltngeb, r.E.S.) 



EST the ChAIE. 



The Minutes of the meeting of 13tli January last were read and 

 confirmed, and were signed by the President. 



The President said that some of the Fellows present might not 

 be aware that they had just lost by death one who was well known 

 to them; he referred to the late Mr. P. H. Lealand. His genial 

 urbanity to all who came in contact with him, and his long connection 

 with his firm of Powell and Lealand (to whom the science of micro- 

 scopy was so largely indebted for those optical productions, the 

 excellence of which was so well appreciated, and in which Mr. Lealand 

 took an honourable part), justified a notice of the fact that he was no 

 longer amongst them, and an expression of their regret at his death, 

 as well as of sympathy with his surviviag relatives. 



Mr. Crisp said that, owing to a curious and probably unintentional 

 operation of their bye-laws, it would not be necessary to make the 

 meeting special in order to elect Dr. Dallinger as President for a 

 third year. While it was provided that a Fellow should not be 

 elected for more than two years, it was also provided that at Annual 

 Meetings alterations in the bye-laws could be made without notice. 

 All that was necessary, therefore, was to pass a resolution, which he 

 now proposed, " That notwithstanding bye-law No. 27, or any other 

 bye-law, the Eev. Dr. Dallinger be, and he is hereby declared, eligible 

 for election as President of the Society for a third year." 



Mr. Michael having seconded the motion, it was put to the meeting, 

 and carried unanimously.
