The Rey. Dr. W. Shellabear was elected an Honorary Member 
ot the Society. He joined the Society in 1894, served for several 
years on the Council and was President from 1914-15. 
The death of the Rev. R. G. Lawes, an Honorary Member 
since 1883 was reported during the year. 
Among Ordinary Members the Society lost 15 by resignation 
during the year, of whom 6 were removed under Rule 6, 
Council. Mr. C. Boden Kloss, Vice-President for the F. M. S. 
went on leave in June; the Hon. Mr. W. G. Maxwell, 
C.M.G, was co-opted in his place. The Hon. Dr. Lim Boon Keng, 
0.B.E. and Mr. J. E. Nathan left the country during the latter half 
of the year; Messrs. B. Nunn and A. G. Bratton were co-opted to 
fill their places on the Council. 
General Meetings. The Annual General Meeting was held on 
the 11th February followed by a dinner at 
the Singapore Club attended by 30 Members and their friends. It 
is hoped to make this a regular feature of the Annual meeting. 
The General Meeting held on the 1st July, was noteworthy 
for two reasons: 
In the first place it marked a first attempt to revive the hold- 
ing of meetings for the purpose of reading and discussing papers. 
These meetings were held frequently in the early days of the 
Society: thus 9 general meetings were held and 22 papers read 
during the first year of the Society (1878), followed by 6 meetings 
and 8 papers in 1879. But in 1881 only one general meeting was 
held: the difficulty of forming a quorum proved too great. No 
mention is made in the Annual Reports of the Society of any 
similar meetings having been held since, with the exception of one 
in June 1890. At this “revival” meeting in July, 1921, Mr. C. 
N. Maxwell contributed a paper on Malayan Fishes, and Mr. Colle- 
nette one on the enemies of butterflies. Although the majority of 
the Members reside away from Singapore, it is hoped to arrange 
more meetings of this nature from time to time, as the experiment 
was evidently appreciated.
