ANNIVEESABY MEETING 
Held on the 19th of January, 1898, at 20 Hanover Square, W., 
The President (E. M. Nelson, Esq.) in the Chair. 
The Minutes of the meeting of 15th December last were read and 
confirmed, and were signed by the President. 
Prof. Bell said they had received three donations for the Library, 
which were worthy of some remark. The first of these was a copy of 
the ‘ Transactions of the British Institute of Preventive Medicine,’ 
one of the youngest of their scientific societies, but one which he be- 
lieved would prove to be a very important society indeed. It was the 
first of their Transactions which was now presented. 
The two other works were partly in exchange for the Journal of the 
Society, but were of very much greater value, and were presented by 
the Trustees of the British Museum ; one was a Catalogue of the 
J urassic Bryozoa in the British Museum ; and the other the third 
volume of the Catalogue of the Madreporarian Corals in the British 
Museum. These were works of undoubted value. 
The thanks of the Society were unanimously voted to the donors.
