After the usual loyal toast the Chairman proposed the health of H. E. the Governor, who responded in a happy speach emphasizing the importance of the occasion due to the change in the Society's name inaugurated that very day. H. E. referred in eulogistic terms to the valuable work done for the Society by the two Vice-Presidents Dr. Winstedt aud Mr. Robinson. In conclusion he gave a two-fold toast: "to the Straits Branch, Royal Asiatic Society, Vale; to the Malayan Branch, Royal Asiatic Society, Ave," and to the latter he added "Floreat, florebit."
Dr. Winstedt and Mr. Robinson replied on behalf of the Society.
