Upon the motion of Mr. Collins, Vice- President, seconded by Mr. Denning, Vice- President, Messrs. W. W. Carruthers, J. J. Cartan, and F. Gifford were appointed Auditors of the accounts of the Society for the year ending the joth April last.

It is for that reason I have taken the opportunity of asking you, with the permission of the President if you see fit to pass this resolution. The distinction
