A discussion arose on this nomination, Mr. Blyth being already an 

 Associate Member of the Society, and it appearing doubtful, whether 

 any additional distinction would be conferred, by his election as a 

 corresponding member ; it was, therefore, proposed by Dr. Brandis., 

 that as Mr. Blyth is now an Associate Member of the Society, the 

 nomination be referred to the Council for a report ; which proposi- 

 tion being put to the vote was adopted by the meeting.
