Anniversary Meeting. 

 May 24. — The Lord Bishop of Norwich, President, in the Chair. 



The President opened the business of the Meeting, and the list of 

 the Members whom the Society had lost during the past year having 

 been first read, the Secretary proceeded to read the following notices 

 of some among them. 



The deaths among the Fellows amounted to thirteen. The first 

 name is that of 



Francis Daily, Esq., one of the founders and the first Secretary 

 of the Astronomical Society, of which he was afterwards four times 

 President ; and in everything connected with that Society and with 

 its objects he took a leading, an active, and a most eflicient part. 

 His labours in these departments were multifarious, and demanded 

 both intense thought and incessant application. They are too little 

 connected with natural history to admit of detailed consideration 

 here ; but a summary of them has been given by Sir John F. W. 

 Herschel in an eloquent memoir of their author, published in the Phi- 

 losophical Magazine for January 1845, which contains an ample 

 recgrd of the life, character and labours of this eminent man . 



Mr. Baily became a Fellow of our Society in 1817 : he was also 

 a Fellow of the Royal, Geological and Geographical Societies, an 

 Honorary Member of the Royal Irish Academy, and a Correspondent 

 of the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of France and of various 

 other Foreign Academies. In 1835 the University of Dublin con- 

 ferred on him the honorary title of D.C.L., and the same honour 

 was awarded to him by that of Oxford in 1844. He died on the 30th 

 uf August last in the 71st year of his age.

 Vice-Presidents, and well-known by his memoirs on British Carices

 Dr. Goodenough the son was himself much attached to the study of 

 natural history : he was for many years head-master of Westminster 

 School. 



William Griffith, Esq., the youngest son of the late Thomas Grif- 

 fith, was born on the 4th of March 1810, at his father's residence at 

 Ham Common, near Kingston- upon-Thames, in the county of Surrey. 



He was educated for the medical profession, and completed his

 pupils of great scientific promise, Mr. Slack and Mr. Valentine, he
