Again, Mr. Currie.

Mr. Currie was nominated as a committee-man and a few minutes later, alarmed by the number of nominations, moved that nominations be closed. However, by this means, or by plural voting, he was elected. Immediately, enthusiastic and exuberant, he endeavoured to re-organise the society. He stated that the aims of the society should not be to collect specimens only, but to help the members to enjoy themselves. He intimated that if fifty or sixty members went on the numerous expeditions, some twenty could collect specimens, while the others could—well! he did not exactly specify, but it seems that they were to have a jolly good time.

It was immediately moved that Mr. Currie be appointed advertising manager and social secretary to the society, but the motion was lost, thereby allowing some of the older and more serious members to resume their composure. N.B.—Supper was served.
