Annual Meeting. 7 



Ward's remarks tended in the direction of discouraging 

 donations from a distance. 



The Secretary — He is too good a friend of the Society to 

 discourage any such thing. 



This concluded the business of the ordinary meeting. 



The Chairman then moved that those present resolve them- 

 selves into a special meeting to authorise exchange of certain 

 duplicate Irish antiquities for geological specimens with Mr. 

 W. Praeger, Koekuk, U.S.A. ; and, this being agreed to, moved 

 that the meeting approve of the exchange. 



The meeting gave the necessary authority, aud the pro- 

 ceedings then terminated.
