portrait from a photograph of the deceased. Mr. Walker 
said it would be some relief to him, however, if the So- 
ciety would instruct him to have a bust executed (instead

attention to specimens of coral lying on the table that 
had been found in the mud at pin. Farm on the East 
Demerary River. 
The President said that as this would be his last meet- 
ing for the year, he would take the opportunity to thank 
the members for their kindness and assistance to him 
during the time he had occupied the presidential chair, 
Several interesting questions had been discussed, and 
although sometimes there had been a difference of 
opinions, he thought as a whole the various arguments 
that had been brought forward had been brought forward 
with coolness, and without any angry feelings between 
members and the presidential chair. It had been all 
along the right of the retiring President to propose his 
successor, and he had great pleasure in proposing that 
the hon'ble A. Barr be elected to the chair for the ensuing 
year. 
The proposition was seconded and carried.
