This paper was listened to with more than ordinary 

 interest, owing to the marvellons advances made in this 

 branch of science. 



Thanks were tendered to the three gentlemen for their 

 communications and for the marvellous revelations con- 

 tained especially in Dr. Mills's paper. 



This was moved by Mr. P. S. Ross, seconded by Mr, 

 J. S. Buchan, and carried after questions and discussion. 



There being no other business the meeting adjourned.
