A much respected member of the Council for many years, Mr. 
John Chatfield Tyler, died on June 21st, to the great regret of the 
Council and the Directors. The vacancy thus created was filled 
by the election of Mr. J. A. Panton, C.M.G. 
The Council desires, in conclusion, to express its warm apprecia¬ 
tion of the services of the Director, Assistant-Director, and all the 
employes of the Society, whose services have been devoted 
unreservedly to the advancement of its interests. 
The President, the Hon. F. S. Grimwade, moved the adoption 
of the Report. He was glad that such a satisfactory record of the 
progress of the Society could be laid before the public. He was 
present, among many others, when Her Royal Highness, now the 
Princess of Wales, visited the Gardens, and she appeared to be 
much gratified and pleased with the visit, and on leaving expressed 
herself in very gracious terms. The Countess of Hopetoun, who 
came with Her Royal Highness, was also very gratified. Subse¬ 
quently they had a visit from their Excellencies the Governor- 
General and the Countess of Hopetoun. 
Senator the Hon. R. W. Best seconded the adoption of the 
Report, which, he said, was of a highly satisfactory character, and 
should show how highly the Gardens were appreciated. 
The motion was carried unanimously. 
Mr. F. R. Godfrey said the time was now come to elect a President 
for the ensuing year, and it was a gratifying duty to him to propose 
the re-election of the Hon. Mr. Grimwade, who had already served 
the Society admirably, and he was quite sure would do so again. 
They all knew that Mr. Grimwade was about to visit Europe with 
his family, and he might be able to help the Society by letting the 
Director know where desirable stock could be obtained, and by 
taking note, as he was sure he would do, of anything he saw in 
visiting the various Zoological Gardens of the different capitals of 
Europe which might be of use to the Melbourne Gardens. He 
(Mr. Godfrey) had lately visited England, and although the 
collection in Regent’s Park was incomparable, still, in his opinion, 
as beautiful gardens, and in the high state of order were kept, they
