PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 
141 
year. Ho did not know that it was a good thing for a Society that it 
should have the same President too many years in succession, but he 
had yielded in this instance to the pressing request of the Council and 
trusted that the interests of the Society would not suffer in con- 
sequence. 
He therefore gave notice, as required, that at the next meeting it 
would be proposed that bye-law No. 36 be suspended in order to allow 
of the re-election of the President for a further year of office.
