February 28th, 1879. — Ordinary Meeting.* 

 Henry Lee, Esq., F.L.S., Vice-President, in the Chair. 



The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and confirmed. 



The following gentlemen were balloted for, and duly elected members 

 of the Club : — Mr. John Bear, Mr. Edward H. Debenham, Mr. H. Epps, 

 Dr. C. T. Hudson, Mr. James H. Mann, Mr. James Menzies, Mr. Henry 

 Nesbitt, and Mr. W. Venables. 



Four gentlemen were proposed for membership. 



The Chairman said that it was his painful duty to announce the 

 death, since their last meeting, of a former President of the Society, Mr. 

 Peter Le Neve Foster. He had died in harness, and quite unexpectedly ; 

 he left his work as usual, went home, and then, being seized by a fatal ill- 

 ness, he passed away. He was 70 years of age, and had therefore reached 

 the " three score years and ten " allotted to man ; but time passed so 

 rapidly, and so juvenile was he in his manner, that few would have regarded 

 him as being so far advanced in life. To many of those present he was 

 well known, and to all such it would be unnecessary to say that he would 

 continue to live in their kindly remembrance and respect. 



Mr. T. C. White rose to suggest that it would be consistent with the 

 character of the Club to pass a vote of condolence with the family of Mr. 

 Foster in connection with his lamented decease. 



The Chairman said it would be most perfectly in accordance with his own 

 views, and he felt sure that the suggestion would be fully approved by the 

 Society. 



Mr. T. C. White then formally moved a vote of condolence to Mrs. Foster 

 and family, which, having been seconded by Mr. A. D. Michael, was put to 

 the meeting, and carried unanimously. 



The following list of donations to the Club was announced : —
