Mr. E. Chepmell Ozanne, Bailiff of Guernsey, was elected 

 President of the Society, replacing Miss A. L. Mellish whose 

 term of office had expired. The officers of the Society were 

 re-elected, the only change being the election of Miss Edith 

 F. Carey as a member of the Council to replace Mr. D. B. 

 Cromartie, who has ceased to be a member of the Society. 



The Treasurer read a statement of his accounts, showing a 

 balance of £32 12s. 8^d. in hand. 



It was suggested that persons residing out of the island 

 who had rendered exceptional services to the Society might 

 be admitted as honorary members, and after discussion, the 

 Secretary was instructed in convening the next meeting to 

 give notice of a proposed alteration in the rules of the Society 

 for the purpose of carrying out this suggestion. A proposi- 

 tion based on Miss E. F. Carey's suggestion referred to in 

 the report of the November meeting, that the meetings of the 

 Society should be held in the afternoon was put by Mr. A. A. 

 Gould and seconded by Miss Foster, but was not carried. 



Miss A. L. Mellish then read the first part of her address 

 as retiring president, the remainder being postponed to the 

 next monthly meeting owing to the lateness of the hour.

 Ozanne, Bailiff of Guernsey, President, in the chair.

 Doyle Terrace, Doyle Road ; Mr. H. A. Gliddon, White 

 Gates, Rohais ; Miss Dixon, Ladies' College ; Miss Green- 

 how, Ladies' College ; Miss Hawke, Ladies' College. 



The question of admitting honorary members in conform- 

 ity with the suggestion made at the Annual Meeting came 

 up for discussion. Mr. F. L. Tanner proposed and Mr. A. 

 A. Gould seconded the following proposition, viz. : That in 

 Rule 5, the words " Honorary Vice-Presidents, not to exceed 

 two in number " be added after the word " President." An 

 amendment was proposed by Mr. A. Collenette, Mr. C. G. 

 De La Mare seconding, to the effect " That a new rule be 

 added as follows :— 



" 17. — The Council may nominate for election as 



Honorary Members persons who have rendered important 



services to the Society, or who are specially distinguished 



in the objects for which the Society has been formed." 



This proposition and the amendment thereto to be considered 



at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened for the
