W. F. Dadson, H. R. W. Greig.

The Vice-President said that he had to notify the re- 
appointment of Mr. E. F. im Thurn, as curator of the 
Museum and secretary to the Committee of Corres- 
pondence of the Society. With respect to Mr. im 
Thurn's qualifications for the post he need not say any- 
thing, as that gentleman was so well-known to every 
member of the Society. He could not but think that 
the Society ought to feel flattered at the kind way in 
which the Government had come forward to aid the 
Society in finding the fund for this appointment ; and 
the Governor had not only agreed to put the money on 
the estimate for the Combined Court, but had ex- 
pressed himself in the highest terms as agreeing with 
the action of the Society. He could only say that he 
thought it devolved upon the members of the Society to 
show themselves worthy of the confidence placed in 
them by the Government.
