be entertained that the Royal Society will continve its long and pros- 
perous career with undimmed lustre. (Applause). ’ 
Bishop SANDFORD moved,—‘‘ That the members record their warmest 
thanks to the vice-president for the address which he had just delivered.” 
He was very much afraid that they were trespassing a good deal on 
his consideration and kindness in regard to the change which had been 
carried on in connection with the Museum and Botanical Gardens, 
because they knew that those so long and so much interested in the 
society as the chairman had come to regard with dislike anything like 
a radical change in its constitution or management. Mr. Barnard, how- 
ever, had shown that he could rise superior to such considerations, and 
had expressed warm appreciation of the advantages to be derived from 
the change. He proposed that they thank the chairman most cordially 
for the spirit and tone of his address ; also that thanks be accorded _ to 
those who had read papers that night, and those who had forwarded 
presentations and donations. 
Mr. C. J. ATKINS seconded, and the motion was passed. 
The CHARMAN having acknowledged the compliment, the meeting 
separated.
