The President then read the Annual Address to the Society, t king 
as his subject the ‘ Anatomy of the Acari ’ ; the numerous illustrations 
were shown upon the screen by lime-light lantern. (The address is 
printed in extenso at pp. 15-26.) 
Mr. J. J. Yezey felt sure that all would agree with him that they 
owed a debt of gratitude to the President for his learned a id interesting 
Address. He was such a master of the subject that it was hardly to 
be expected that any one present would be in a position to offer any 
further remarks ; and he would only say that when they considered the 
small size of the creatures dealt with, averaging in length about 1 mm., 
they could not fail to be impressed with the amount of patience and 
skill required to carry out so successfully those investigations, the 
results of which had been placed before them that evening. He had 
great pleasure in moving that a hearty vote of thanks be given to the 
President for his Address, and that he would allow it to be printed and 
circulated in the usual way. 
The motion having been seconded by Mr. G. C. Karop, was put to 
the meeting by the mover and carried by acclamation. 
The President acknowledged with thanks the cordial manner in 
which this vote had been proposed and carried. 
* Those w ith an asterisk (*) had not held during the preceding year the office 
for which they were nominated.
