The President having appointed Mr. Bevington and Mr. Dadswell to 

 act as scrutineers, the ballot was proceeded with, and the Fellows 

 nominated were declared by the President to be duly elected as Council 

 and officers for the ensuing year. 



The Treasurer's Account was, in the absence of Dr. Beale, read by 

 Mr. Crisp (see p. 331), who moved that the account should be received 

 and adopted, and that the thanks of the Society be given to the Treasurer 

 for his services during the past year. 



Mr. J. J. Vezey seconded the motion, remarking, as one of the 

 Auditors, that they had found the accounts to be kept in a very satis- 

 factory manner. 



The President put the motion to the meeting, and declared it 

 carried. 



Mr. Crisp, in pursuance of the notice given at the preceding meeting, 

 moved, " That the existing Bye-laws of the Society be repealed, and that 

 the following be in future the Bye-laws of the Society." As the 

 principal alterations and the reasons for making them had been fully 

 explained at the previous meeting, and as a copy of the new Bye-laws 

 had since been lying upon the table for the inspection of the Fellows, 

 they were agreed to be taken as read. 



The motion having been seconded by Mr. A. D. Michael, was put by 

 the President, and carried unanimously. 



Dr. Dallinger then delivered his annual address, which was listened 

 to throughout with the deepest attention, and very heartily applauded 

 by the large number of Fellows present. 



Mr. Glaisher said that he rose with great pleasure — yet also with 

 some pain — to ask the Fellows to give their warmest thanks to their late 

 President, not only for the very admirable address to which they had 

 just been listening, but also for the four years' service which he had so 

 efficiently rendered to the Society. When they remembered that during 

 the whole of that period he had been constantly with them at their 

 meetings, although living at Sheffield, when they also remembered his 

 regularity of attendance at their council meetings, his earnestness in 

 all that affected the well-being of their Society and the interests of 

 microscopical science, and when they coupled with all this the remem- 

 brance of what he had done when out of their presence, it needed 

 nothing upon his (Mr. Glaisher's) part to convince them of the value of 

 the services which their President had performed. They would part 



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

 nominated.
