PROCEEDINGS OF SOCIETIES.

This vote of thanks being carried unanimously, was briefly acknow- 
ledged by the President. 
Mr. Slack drew attention to a drawing on wood of the lips of a 
blow-fly, made by Mr. Suffolk ; he remarked upon its superiority to 
the views of this subject which had been hitherto published, and 
stated that it would shortly appear in the Journal. 
Dr. Lankester moved as follows : — " That the following alteration be 
made in Bye-law 66; that after the word ' Society,' 'and of no other 
matter whatsoever' be inserted, instead of ' and of such other matter as 
the Council may determine.' " 
As this motion was not seconded, it fell to the ground. 
l^Tr. Slack gave explanations of the reasons which had influenced 
the Council in making the new arrangements for publishing the 
Society's ' Transactions.' Remarks on the same subject were made by 
the President in his Address. 
The following gentlemen were then elected officers, &c., for the 
ensuing year, and the Rev. J. B. Reade, F.R.S., was inducted by 
Mr. Glaisher into the President's chair, amidst the applause of the
