PROCEEDINGS OP THE SOCIETY. 283 



Mr. Robert Godfrey submitted for exhibition a specimen 

 of Chelifer cancroldes (L.), one of the group of mites known 

 as " False Scorpions." The species occurs commonly in a 

 stable in the eastern district of Glasgow, but is apparently new 

 to the Scottish list. He showed a specimen of the Sea Centipede 

 (Linotcenia maritima, Leach), from Rough Island, in the 

 Solway, and stated that he had also observed that species in 

 1904, at Shirvan, Loch Fyne. He submitted a specimen of the 

 Pencil-tailed Myriapod (Polyxenus lagurus, L.), from Rough 

 Island, and stated that the same species had likewise come 

 under his notice on a hill-top at Ronachan, Kintyre, in the end 

 of the year 1905 or beginning of 1906. 



Mr. Peter Ewing, F.L.S., read a short statement regarding 

 the business discussed at the Meetings of Delegates from 

 Corresponding Societies of the British Association, held last 

 year, during the visit of the Association to York. 



Mr. D. A. Boyd read a paper entitled " Microfungi observed 

 in Islay " (page 119). 



Mr. James Whitton, Superintendent of Parks, submitted his 

 " Meteorological Notes for 1906, and Remarks upon the 

 Weather during the Year, w^ith its General Effects upon 

 Vegetation " (page 122). 



25th June, 1907. 



Mr. D. A. Boyd, President, in the chair. 



Before proceeding to the business of the meeting, the chair- 

 man referred to the death of the late President, Mr. Alexander 

 Somerville, B.Sc, F.L.S., which took, place on 5th instant. 

 It was resolved that the Society should place upon record its 

 sense of the great loss which had thus been sustained, and its 

 grateful acknowledgment of the many important services which 

 Mr. Somerville rendered to the cause of science, particularly 

 in the West of Scotland, and to this Society, in whose work he 

 so long took an active and useful part.* It was also resolved 

 that an excerpt from the minutes, containing the above resolu- 

 tion, should be transmitted to Mrs. Somerville, along with an 

 expression of the sympathy of the members of the Society with 

 her and her family in their bereavement.
