PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. 
By A. W. Mera. 
Gentlemen,— 
You have just heard the Secretaries’ report which has set forth 
in detail the position of our Society, and you have also had a state¬ 
ment of the financial condition as well, both of which it is hardly 
necessary for me to enlarge upon. Nevertheless, I may say that I hope 
that what you have heard has given general satisfaction. Societies 
of this kind are always given to ebb and flow to some extent, and 
while we keep up our reputation as a thorough field working society, 
we are to a large extent fulfilling our part. The exhibits at our 
ordinary meetings have been well maintained, and I am inclined to 
think that they have increased of late. This has always been one of 
our strong points, and it is very gratifying to see no falling off in that 
direction. As will be seen by our programme for the Winter Session, 
we may look forward to some very interesting papers to be given by 
members both willing and able to lend interest to their subjects, and 
we confidently look forward to the iucreased activity and advancement 
of our Society.
