THE second Annual Meeting of the Club was held in the Windsor Hotel, Edinburgh, on Thursday, 11th December 1890, at six o'clock, when about twenty-five Members were present.

The President—Professor Ramsay—was in the chair. The Committee's proposal that the Honorary Editor of the Club Journal be an ex officio member of Committee was approved.

The Rev. Cohn Campbell, of Dundee, and Mr Wm. W. Naismith, of Glasgow, were elected to the vacancies on the Committee; and on the motion of Mr Fraser Campbell, the office-bearers and remaining members of Committee were re-elected.

It was intimated and approved of, that the Committee —by virtue of the powers conferred on them at the last annual meeting to elect members, without ballot, so long as the membership of the Club was below ioo—had elected the following four gentlemen, being satisfied with their qualifications:—Messrs Thomas D. Gibson Carmichael, William Cowan, William Douglas, and C. E. W. Macpherson.

Similar powers were conferred on the Committee for the ensuing year.
