The Linnean Gold Medal was presented to Prof. J. Stanley Gardiner. In making the presentation, the president referred to Prof. Gardiner's researches on the biology of corals, and the origin and development of coral reefs and islands, and also to his services to zoological exploration by means of the many important expeditions which owed their existence to his organising ability, and their success to his enthusiasm and leadership. The following were elected officers for the year 1936-37: President, Dr. W. T. Caiman; Treasurer, Mr. Francis Druce; Secretaries, Mr. John Rams-bottom (botany) and Dr. Stanley Kemp (zoology).
