Report of Society's Meetings. 107 
The further discussion of the matter was left over. 
The President reported that an application had been 
received from the Pomeroon farmers through Mr. John 
Humphrys and the Chamber of Commerce to ship 10 
quakes each of yams and tannias with a view to open up 
a trade in England, He presumed there would be no 
obje6lion to the Society getting the information and for- 
warding the vegetables. 
Mr. E. C. Luard said that yams were shipped from 
Barbados regularly and could be obtained in well-known 
London Restaurants. Possibly Mr, Jones might find out 
something about the trade when in Barbados. 
The Secretary was authorised to inform Mr. Hum- 
phrys that the Society would receive the vegetables and 
look after their shipment. 
The thanks of the Society were accorded for the fol- 
lowing donations to the Museum : — Sun Beetle from 
T. King ; Bat from Jack Waby ; 2 Falcons from A. A.
