Proceedings. XXV 
Mr. Wekey said that such trivial subjects were never brought 
before a general meeting of the Philosophical Society, and he hoped 
will not be discussed here. He had no doubt that the wishes of 
members would be attended to by the council, if referred to the 
same. 
Before the close of the meeting, Mr. Wekey addressed the chair- 
man on behalf of Dr. Mueller, a member of the society. Mr. 
Wekey said that he was requested to express Dr. Mueller’s thanks 
for the kindness with which his exertions in connection with the 
society had been received. He stated that although Dr. Mueller’s 
absence is uncertain, and his return will greatly depend on the 
more prosperous state of the colony, nevertheless he expressed 
his desire to retain his connection with the society. Ur. Mueller 
hoped to be able to send to the society accounts during his contem- 
plated expedition to the interior. The Honorary Secretary also 
intimated to the meeting that the Linnzan Society, of London, to 
which a copy of the first number of the Philosophical Society’s 
transactions had been sent, acknowledged the receipt of same, and 
express their desire to be in communication with the Philosophical 
Society of Victoria. 
Several of the members expressed their regret at having lost 
the valuable services of Dr. Mueller, and it was proposed that in 
acknowledgment of the services rendered by him to the society he 
should be elected honorary member of the Philosophical Institute.
