Jtmroal fluting, 1915. 



rpHE Annual Meeting for 1914-15 was held in the Society's Room 

 at the Municipal College on Saturday, October 30th, at 4.30 

 p.m. Sir Daniel Morris, K.C.M.G., J. P., President of the Society, 

 was in the chair. 



In the absence of the Hon. Treasurer, due to ill-health, the 

 Treasurer's audited annual statement of accounts was read by the 

 Hon. Secretary. It showed receipts ^318 16s. nd. and payments 

 of £2ig 4s., leaving a balance of ^99 12s. nd. The Hon. Secre- 

 tary read the Council's Report, which recorded a year of continued 

 activity. It referred to the visit of the British Association to 

 Bournemouth in 191 7 at the invitation of the Mayor and Corpora- 

 tion. Sir Daniel Morris attended as Delegate from the Society 

 to the meeting at Manchester, Dr. S. McCalmont Hill, one of our 

 Vice-Presidents, joining with him to strengthen our representa- 

 tion. 



The Chairmen of Sections presented their reports of the work 

 done in their respective Sections. 



Sir Daniel Morris then left the chair, which was taken by 

 Dr. McCalmont Hill. Dr. Moorhead, referring in eulogistic terms 

 to the valuable work done by Sir Daniel for the past two years, 

 proposed his re-election as President for 1915-16. The Rev. W. 

 H. Windle Cooper having seconded in a similar strain, the pro- 

 position was carried unanimously. Sir Daniel, in reply, thanked 

 the meeting for the honour conferred upon him and promised to 

 continue his efforts to further the interests of the Society. 



The officers who had served during the year were then re- 

 elected and also the members of Council, with the exception of 

 Mr. R. Y. Banks, whose appointment as Chairman of the Photo- 

 graphic Section caused a vacancy, which the President proposed 

 should be filled by Dr. Francis George Penrose, M.D., F.R.C.P., 

 F.Z.S. This was seconded by Mr. George de Castro and carried 

 unanimously. 



Mr. E. Bicker and Mr. E. W. Barlow were elected Hon. 

 Auditors for the year, and votes of thanks were passed to the 

 Auditors of last year, and to the President for past services. 



Sir Daniel Morris announced that he would give his Presi- 

 dential Address on Saturday, November 13th. The subject would 

 be a review of some of the more notable and interesting trees in 

 the neighbourhood.
