4. The President returned thanks on behalf of himself and his 

 colleagues for the trust again reposed in them. He congratulated the 

 Society upon a year which had not been a particulary eventful one, 

 but which had been characterized by a great increase in the business- 

 like way in which the Society's affairs had been conducted, as witnessed 

 in particular by the promptness with which the Journal of Proceedings 

 had been placed in their hands that day. He thought they might 

 look forward, with the help of the Members of the Society, on whom, 

 after all, the success of the Meetings depended, to at least an equally 

 successful and interesting year during 1894. (Applause.) 



5. A vote of thanks to the Chair concluded the proceedings of the 

 Meeting.
