16 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR 1857. 



heartily concur. Though seldom seen among us in later years, 

 he was always desirous to promote the welfare of our Society, 

 and he headed with a munificent donation the list of contribu- 

 tors to the extension of the Museum. The Council have 

 conveyed to the Earl of Carlisle the expression of their 

 unanimous wish, that he would allow himself to be nominated 

 for the Presidentship, and they have the pleasure of announcing 

 that his Lordship has acceded to their request. They hope 

 that when this amiable and accomplished nobleman has ceased 

 to fill the high office which he now holds, and has returned to 

 his ordinary residence, our Meetings may often be graced by 

 his presence. 



The Council have also to propose to this Meeting, to mark 

 their sense of the liberality of the Rev. Danson Eichardson 

 Roundell, by electing him an Honorary Member of the Society. 



Four Members of the present Council, Mr. Wm. Anderson, 

 the Rev. Thos. Bayly, the Rev. Thos. Myers, and Mr. Kitching, 

 retire by rotation and are ineligible for the present year.
