Report of the Council 
EOE 1890. 
As Read and Adopted at the Annual Meeting, Monday, 
February 2nd, 1891. 
Council of The Zoological and Acclimatisation Society 
l| has much pleasure in presenting its 27th Annual Report to the 
Subscribers, giving a history of last year’s work which has 
been important as regards the progress of the Society. 
The lamented death of the Hon. C. J. Jenner, which occured at 
the end of June last, was a great loss to the Society, as he had 
been for many years an active member of the Council, also being 
President of the Society in the year 1886-7, and he always evinced a 
deep interest in the advancement and progress of the Society. Prof. 
Spencer of the Melbourne University was appointed as his successor 
on the Council. The Council of the Society has also to regret the 
death of its late collector, the Rev. G. Slade, whose office is now 
filled by Mr. C. J. Peowrie.
