Mr. Hill said that he had intended to decline, as his 
time was so much occupied ; but as the Society had re-

Mr. Rodway to perform the duties of the office. Mr. 
Conyers briefly thanked the meeting for re-electing him. 
The Ordinary Directors, as per annexed list, were then 
proposed by the chairman and seconded by Mr. L. M. 
Hill, and duly elected.

Exchange Room Directors, proposed by the chairman 
and seconded by Mr. D. C. Cameron, were both elected.
