PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 
157 
Upon the motion of Mr. J. M. Allen, seconded by the Rev. Canon 
Carr, it was resolved that the Report be received and adopted. 
The Treasurer, Mr. Frank Crisp, presented his annual statement of 
accounts, and read the balance-sheet, duly audited by Messrs. Suffolk 
and Hardy, who were elected Auditors at the preceding meeting 
(see p. 158). 
Upon the motion of Prof. Lionel S. Beale, F.R.S., seconded by 
Dr. Hebb, the adoption of this Report, together with a vote of thanks 
to the Treasurer for his services during the past year, was duly passed. 
The President having appointed Mr. J. Mason Allen and Mr. Edward 
M. Nelson to act as Scrutineers, the ballot for the election of Officers 
and Council for the ensuing year was proceeded with. 
The President then read his Annual Address (see p. 6), concluding 
with the exhibition of a number of coloured transparencies, some in 
illustration of portions of his subject, and others to demonstrate the 
adaptation of this plan for the display of diagrams on various points in 
natural history and astronomy. 
The Rev. Canon Carr said he rose for the purpose of heartily 
thanking the President for the address which he had just delivered, 
and for the exhibition of his beautiful drawings. The Fellows were 
thankful to see him amongst them again, and hoped that his presence 
might be regarded as an indication that his health had been fully 
restored. They also further hoped that the fears which had been enter- 
tained with regard to his eyesight might not be realized. He felt sure 
that all who were present had been very much pleased with the address, 
and would heartily join in giving their best thanks to the President 
for it. 
Prof. Bell had much pleasure in seconding the vote of thanks to 
the President for his address, and also for his services to the Society 
during the past year. The lateness of the hour, and the knowledge that 
Dr. Hudson was anxious to leave as soon as possible, were reasons why 
he should not make any lengthened remarks in support of a resolution 
which he felt sure commended itself to every Fellow of the Society who 
had listened to the address : he would therefore ask Canon Carr to put 
it at once to the meeting. 
The motion was then put to the meeting, and carried by acclamation. 
The President, in reply, thanked the Fellows of the Society heartily 
for the cordial manner in which they had received his address, and also 
for the honour done to him by his election as President during the three 
previous years. In accepting the office, he had fully anticipated that 
the state of his health would have admitted of his attendance at the 
meetings more often than had unfortunately been possible ; but he could 
assure them that it had given him great pleasure to come as often as he 
had been able, and he hoped still to be able to come to future meetings 
whenever circumstances permitted.
