VI PROCEEDINGS. 



A ballot was next taken for the election of four Councillors. 



On the motion of Dr. J. A. E. Glennie, seconded by Captain 

 A. R. Chancellor the meeting returned a vote of thanks to the re- 

 tiring Council. 



The President asked Mr. H. N. Ridley to give an address on 

 the subject of the Scientific Exploration of the Malay Peninsula, 

 while the result of the ballot for councillors was being ascertained. 

 Mr. Ridley spoke as recorded in the Society's Proceedings:* and a 

 discussion followed upon the _ means .by which further work might 

 be encouraged. 



The President proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Ridley for 

 his address, which was accorded: and he announced that as the 

 result of the ballot the Hon. H. Marriott, Captain J. C. Moulton 

 and Mr. H. Robinson had been elected Councillors, that Dr. W. G. 

 Shellabear and Professor Argyll Campbell had received an equal 

 number of votes for the fourth place and that five other members 

 had received votes. He suggested that as Dr. Shellabear had not- 

 returned to the Colony and as the date of his return appears un- 

 certain, Professor Argyll Campbell should be asked to serve. On 

 a show of hands this proposal was adopted.
