 President, in the Chair.

 the books upon the table. 



Mr. Robert Mond, M.A., F.C.S., of Winnington Hall, 

 near Northwich, was elected an ordinary member of the 

 Society. 



Messrs. H. Grimshaw and R. E. Cunliffe were 

 appointed auditors of the accounts for the current year. 



Professor SMITHELLS, of the Yorkshire College, read a 

 paper on " Flame and Flame Spectra," and showed a series 

 of experiments. After separating the inner and outer cones 

 of a coal gas flame, he showed that lithium burnt in the 

 inner cone and copper oxide or chloride in the outer cone. 

 The paper contributed considerably to the question of the 

 temperature of flame and the causes of its luminosity. 



Professor Dixon, Dr. Bailey, Dr. Bottomley, Mr. 

 Hartog, Mr. Jones, and Dr. Schuster joined in a long 

 discussion on the interpretations of Professor SMITHELL'S 

 experiments.
