The Chairman, referring specially to the duties of Honorary 
Secretary as being those of most consequence to the Society’s wel- 
fare, regretted that Mr. W. E. Maxwett, whose election he had 
just had much pleasure in announcing to the meeting, had not yet 
returned to the Colony. 
He believed, however, that Mr. Maxwert would shortly arrive ; 
and it was hoped that he would then undertake the office, to which 
this meeting had unanimously elected him, with the same readiness 
with which he had so frequently contributed to our Journals. In 
the interval, he was authorised to state that Mr. Skinner, who 
had been acting as Honorary Secretary since Mr. SweTTENHAM’s 
absence, would kind!y continue to carry on the work. 
The meeting was closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the 
Chairman,
