ANNUAL MEETING. 



The forty-first Annual Meeting was held in the Museum 

 on, 19th April, when there was a very large attendance of 

 members. The President (Mr. W. J. Eennell, M.R.I.A.I.) 

 occupied the chair, and remarked that the last chapter of 

 another year of our work was drawing to a close. He trusted 

 the year that had gone by had been possessed of some attrac- 

 tions and pleasant memories for most of them, and that the 

 year coming would carry them through more good work, and 

 would bring to them additional pleasant memories. He then 

 called on the Hon. Secretary to read the Annual Report, after 

 which the Reports of the Botanical and Geological Sections 

 were presented. Mr. George Donaldson read tJae Librarian's 

 Report, and Mr. George C. Gough that of the Sub-Committee 

 appointed to adjudicate on Collections sent in competition for 

 Prizes offered in the Club's programme. In the absence, 

 through illness, of Mr. W. H. Phillips, Mr. N. H. Foster read 

 the Treasurer's Report. 



The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the Annual 

 Reports and the Treasurer's Statement of Accounts, said he 

 thought when these were published they would represent one 

 of the best reports they had had for many years. Although 

 the Sections were not numerous, still he thought the Section 

 Reports represented a ver}^ fair amount of work in the year, 

 and he thought the Club might naturally congratulate the 

 Sections. 



Dr. St. Clair Boyd, in seconding the resolution, said he 

 thought when they heard these reports read they could look 

 forward with hope that some great names in science might 

 spring from their Society in tiie future as in the past. 



The resolution was spoken to by Mrs. Fennell, Messrs. 

 Wm. Gray, George C. Gough, George Donaldson, and Robert 

 Patterson, and carried by acclamation. 



On the motion of Mr. W. H. Gallway, seconded by Mr. 

 B. Hobson, Mr. W. J. Fennell, M.R.I.A.I., was elected Presi-
