1883.] Election of OJicers. 39 



On the recommendation of Mr. H. B. Medlicott, it was resolved that 

 the Catalogue should be reprinted from the beginning by the Caledonian 

 Press. 



It was resolved to propose Messrs. W. T. Blanford, A. R. Wallace 

 and Professor W. D. Whitney for election as Honorary Members at the 

 next monthly meeting. 



The list of proposed office-bearers and members of Council for the 

 ensuing year was prepared. 



The Chairman remarked that, as the evening was already somewhat 

 advanced, and there was rather a long list of business before them on the 

 paper, he would not detain the meeting with any detailed observations on 

 the report which had been read. The salient features of the report might 

 be summed up in a very few words : there had been no falling off in 

 the work of the Society, but the number of their members was not increas- 

 ing, and consequently their financial position was not altogether so satis- 

 factory as could be wished. He hoped that all the members who heard 

 him would take such opportunities as might offer of bringing recruits into 

 their ranks. He would now ask the meeting to adopt the report, and, if they 

 agreed to do so, he trusted that they would append to their acceptance of the 

 report an expression of a vote of thanks to the Honorary Secretaries and 

 Treasurer, to whom the Society was so deeply indebted for the good work 

 they had done on its behalf. 



The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks passed to 

 the Honorary Secretaries and Treasurer for their services to the Society. 



The Peesident announced that the Scrutineers reported the result of 

 the election of Officers and Council to be as follows :
