Before closing, Gentlemen, I should like to make special reference to the death during the year of Mr. George Jamieson, ¢.m.G., who for so many years ably occupied the position of President of the China Association in London. By the older members of the Association in Shanghai he will be well remembered as Consul-General and Acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for China and Japan. His place in the Association will be very difficult to fill and I should like to-day to express the Association's deepest sympathy to his relatives in their sad bereavement.
