Mr. William Gray said although they might not agree in 

 every detail, he endorsed most heartily the sentiments and most of 

 the facts to which Dr. Hamilton had referred, and he 

 hoped the project would be for the permanent security and 

 extended usefulness of the Natural History and Philosophical 

 Society. It was a point that he himself had been advocating for

The resolution was adopted. 



Mr. William Gray moved the re-election of the outgoing 

 members of the Council. Mr. A. T. Jackson seconded the 

 motion, which was passed. Mr. John Macormac moved, and 

 Mr. G. W. Ferguson seconded, a vote of thanks to the President, 

 which was cordially passed.
