AXNUAL GENERAL MEETING 
‘^3 
various ways, but two names would ring with a personal note 
to all members of the Selborne Society, those were Mrs. Percy 
Myles and Professor Boulger. Mrs. Percy Myles’ work had 
been uniformly valuable, unstinting, and often unrecognised, so 
that he felt it was peculiarly appropriate that she should have 
been selected as one of the first to be proposed for honorary 
membership. Mrs. Percy Myles had been the fairy godmother 
of the Society, and few could know all that she had accom- 
plished during the many years of her association with it, and how 
loyall3' she had carried on the work which Percy Myles had had 
so much at heart. Professor Boulger, whose name came first 
on their list, had a record which all who read Nature Notes — 
and what true Selbornian did not do so ? — would recognise as being 
one worthy of much honour. But Professor Boulger had done 
more than what even that record represented, he had helped 
the Council by advice and in many ways which only time was 
wanting to particularise. The Society might well rejoice to 
have the chance of showing Professor Boulger they were not 
ungrateful for his valued services. 
The Balance Sheet would be submitted with the Report, and 
it would disclose what a very satisfactory state their finances 
were in. In past years their monetary affairs had been far less 
rosy, and their present solvency was largely due to the energy 
of their versatile Secretary, Mr. Webb, to whom he (the 
Chairman) felt much gratitude should be felt for his financial 
guidance. In passing on to the formalities of the meeting, the 
Chairman felicitated the Society upon its position, and expressed 
a hope that the oncoming years would increase the number of 
its friends and extend the sphere of its utility. 
The Report and Balance-sheet were then proposed and 
adopted (see p. 126). 
The Ballot was then taken for the President and Councillors, 
and the Right Honourable Lord Avebury, D.C.L., F.R.S., and 
W. Bickerton, H. Norman Gray, P.A.S.I., T. H. Hiscott and 
Mrs. McLeod, proposed by the Council, were declared by the 
Scrutineers to be duly elected. 
The names of those recommended by the Council for election 
as Vice-Presidents were then read ; and, it having been pro- 
posed that those of Messrs. Hubert H. Poole, the Hon. 
Librarian, and Wilfred Mark Webb, the Hon. Secretary, 
should be added to the list, the following were declared, after 
the Ballot had been taken, to be elected : —
