ANNUAL MEETING.

“ By the death of !Miss Wyatt, the founder and secretary of the Rape of 
Lewes branch, the Society has lost a valuable supporter. Her place has been 
taken by Mrs. llayne, of Cuckfield. The Society has also to lament the death of 
Mrs. Beale, secretary of the Weybridge branch. Her place has been taken by 
!Miss de Michele. 
“ Mrs. .Smith has resigned the .Secretaryship of the Birmingham branch. Her 
influence and exertions have been rewarded by the signal success of that flourishing 
branch. 
“ By the death of the Rev. Percy Myles the Society has lost, not only a most 
able and energetic editor of its periodical, Natoke Notes, but an enthusiastic 
advocate of its principles. Mr. Janies Britten has been so good as to undertake 
for a limited time the work of editing Nature Notes. 
“ The officers to be elected for the coming year are a President, Vice-Presidents, 
and twelve members of Council. 
“ Notice has been given of three proposals, to be made at the general meeting 
affecting the rules, namely : — 
“(i) That rule 8 shall be so altered as to empower the Council to elect 
additional members of Council. 
“ (2) That in rule 23 the words, ‘ on the first Wednesday in May ’ be omitted, 
and the following substituted, ‘ during the month of May, on such a day 
as shall be fixed by the Council.’ 
“ (3) That a new rule be added to the effect ‘ that the Editor of the Society’s 
periodical, for the time being, shall be ex officio a member of the Council.’ ”
