Sir Daniel Morris proposed the re-election of the President, 

 Sir E. Ray Lankester, K.C.B., F.R.S. Sir Ray, he said, was an old 

 friend of his, and they were convinced that a more suitable 

 President could not be found. He had already given valued 

 services, and his further association with the society would still 

 further promote its interests. The proposition was seconded by 

 Mr. Backhouse, and passed with applause. 



Dr. W. T. Ord was elected to be a Vice-President, on the 

 proposition of Mr. G. G. Hamilton, who spoke in eloquent terms 

 of his abilities and of his past services to the Society. 



Mr. Whitty Chandler, in a few graceful remarks, proposed 

 the re-election of the Council and Officers for the year. This was 

 seconded by Dr. Shillitoe, and carried unanimously. 



Sir Daniel Morris, after referring to the loss which the Society 

 would suffer by the departure of Dr. Crallan, spoke in high terms 

 of his generous contributions to the library, and his valued services 

 in connection with lectures and other matters. He (the Chairman) 

 was glad to find that Dr. Crallan would still continue to be a 

 member and a Vice-President of the Society, and they wished him 

 every success in his new sphere of activity. 



A vote of thanks to the Hon. Auditors and a similar compli- 

 ment to the Chairman concluded the business of the meeting.
