5. The Chairman, in proposing a special vote of thanks to the 
lecturer for the great treat he had afforded them, alluded to the pros- 
pect of Professor Saville-Kent's return and another lecture. The 
new process, illustrated that evening, would inevitably do much to 
make the beauties of Ceylon known all over the civilized world. 
The Chairman also thanked Sir Allan Perry for aid afforded in 
arranging for the lecture. 
The vote to the lecturer was carried by acclamation, 
6. Professor Saville Kent briefly acknowledged the vote of 
thanks, raying he hoped to give another demonstration and lecture 
when passing through perhaps a year or two hence. 
7. Mr. C. M. Fernando in proposing a vote to the Chairman, 
alluded to the fact that Professor Saville-Kent's name had been made 
familiar to them some years ago during the course of a discussion on a 
Paper on Pearl Oysters, when the Chairman spoke of the work done 
in this direction, on the Australian coast, by the lecturer of that 
evening. 
Mr. CooMARASWAMY briefly seconded, and, after acknowledgment, 
the proceedings closed.
