"Society'' substituted, as Committees always reported 
to the Society. In regard to the appointment of the 
Committee the names of Messrs. Evans, the new 
Curator, and Mr. English were mentioned, but it was 
finally agreed that the amended motion be carried, but 
that the Committee be appointed at the next meeting, 
the Chairman remarking that meanwhile those who 
would be willing to serve might volunteer to do so. 
The Secretary laid over copies of the " Journal " for 
1900, which had been delayed by the printers. The 
Directors had decided that in future every Member 
(not Associate) should be entitled to a copy free. 
The Secretary also laid over copies of the cane-farming 
pamphlet which had been prepared by the Agricultural 
Committee. This would be distributed to the estates 
and villages.
