Mr. Guimaraens and Mr. Powell having been appointed Scrutineers, 

 the ballot was proceeded with, and upon the result being subsequently 

 reported to the President, he declared that all the Fellows who had 

 been nominated were duly elected to serve as Council and Officers 

 during the ensuing year. 



The Treasurer's Account was read (p. 372). The Treasurer 

 (Dr. Beale, F.E.S.) said he thought the Fellows would consider this 

 to be a most satisfactory account. He was anxious, nevertheless, to 

 see their resources still further increased, in order that they might 

 be able to do better still. They wanted an increased number of 

 Fellows in order to give them the means of improving the Journal, 

 although it had ali-eady become a most valuable periodical, and had 

 attained a very high degree of excellence, mainly through the fostering 

 care of their friend Mr. Crisp. "What they wanted now was to see it 

 a self-supporting enterprise, and if each Fellow would do his best to 

 increase their numbers, the Journal would not only repay its cost, but 

 they might have more plates, and in other ways extend its influence. 



A motion for the adoption of the Treasurer's Report and for a vote 

 of thanks to him for his_ services was moved by Dr. Millar, seconded 

 by Professor Stewart, and carried unanimously. 



The Report of the Council was read (pp. 370-3). 



The adoption of the Report was moved by Mr. W. W. Reeves, and 

 seconded by Mr. Spencer, and carried imanimously. 



Mr. Cheshire in eulogistic terms moved that the thanks of the 

 Society should be given to the Secretaries for their valuable services 

 during the past year. 



Mr. Vezey seconded the motion. 



The President said that the Fellows all knew how much they 

 were indebted to the Secretaries for their services to the Society, and 

 without being invidious he might say especially to the one on his 

 left, and there could be no doubt as to the cordial way in which this 

 resolution would be received. The ^motion was carried by hearty 

 acclamation. 



Mr. Crisp said he was sorry that Prof. Bell was unable to be with 

 them that evening, being absent from London on account of ill- 

 health, and he begged therefore to return thanks on Prof. Bell's 

 behalf, as also for himself, so far as he was intended to be included 

 iu the resolution. 



The President then read his Annual Address (pp. 193-207). 

 Prof. Stewart proposed that the best thanks of the meeting be 

 given to the President for his address, to which he had listened with 



• Have not held during the preceding year the office for which they are 

 nominated.
