PKOCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 327 



could be rotated by an endless screw carrying a circle which was also 

 read by verniers to five minutes. 



The best thanks of the Society were accorded to Mr. Watson Baker 

 for his interesting exhibit. 



The President said that Dr. Shillington Scales would bring to the 

 notice of the Society the deaths of two Honorary Fellows and two 

 Ordinary Fellows. 



Dr. Shillington Scales said that hitherto it had been customary to 

 record the death of a Fellow of the Society at Council Meetings only, 

 but the Council had decided that in future notice should also be given 

 at the General Meetings, and, that whenever possible, a short obituary 

 would appear in the journal. Dr. Scales then announced the deaths of 

 the following gentlemen : — 



Honorary Fellows — 



Dr. L. Dippel, of Darmstadt, Elected in 1882 ; died March 4, 



1914. 

 Phillippe Van Tieadiem, of Paris. Elected in 1879 ; died April 28, 



1914. 



Ordinary Fellows — 

 Thomas J. Barratt. Elected in 1898 ; died April 26, 1914. 

 John D. Siddall. Elected in 1912 ; died April 25, 1914. 



The President announced that the Roll was there for Fellows to 

 sign who had not yet done so. 



It was announced that the next meeting of the Biological Section 

 would be held on Wednesday, June 3, when a communication on Starches 

 would be made by Mr. Ashe. 



There would be no meeting of the Brass and Glass Section. 



The President said that, in accordance with custom, and as the 

 result of an invitation, which had been generously responded to, a 

 number of Fellows of the Royal Microscopical Society, Members of the 

 Quekett Club, and other friends had kindly consented to give an exhi- 

 bition of Pond-life that evening, and it was therefore desirable that the 

 Meeting should at once resolve itself into a demonstration. Before 

 doing so, however, he would like to say how deeply indebted the Society 

 was to those gentlemen who had so willingly and with such success 

 brought together that splendid collection of exhibition material, and he 

 believed all present would wish to take the opportunity of according 

 their hearty thanks to the exhibitors 



The vote of thanks was carried with acclamation by all present.
