Mr. C. H. G. Legge handed in an amended notice of 
motion, as follows : — 
That with the view of stimulating the individual efforts of members* 
and of ensuring more general Co-operation for carrying out the 
objects of this Society, the following Rule be adopted — 
11 Sub-Agricultural Committees of not less than two and not more 
than ten Ordinary members (of whom two shall form a quorum) 
shall be appointed by the Directors yearly in such districts of the 
colony as they may deem necessary, and such sub- Committees shall 
report to the Agricultural Committee at least once in every six months.'' 1 
The President expressed a hope that any further 
amendments of, or additions to, the by-laws and rules 
would be made as early as possible, so that they might 
be embodied in the new edition of the Catalogue now 
in the Printer's hands. 
The President moved a hearty vote of thanks to 
Messrs. G. H. Hawtayne and B. Howell Jones, Com- 
missioners at the late Colonial Exhibition, for the effi- 
cient manner in which they had represented the colony, 
and the creditable way they had performed their duty, 
which deserved the thanks, not alone of the Society, but 
of the people of British Guiana generally. This motion 
having been carried by acclamation, the Secretary was 
directed to write to the two gentlemen referred to, 
asking them to attend the next meeting and afford the 
Society the benefit of their opinion as to the best mode 
of utilising the results of the exhibition to increase the 
usefulness of the Society for the advancement of the 
general industry of the colony.
