WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31st, 1892. 



Mr. Henry Deane, M.A., Vice-President, in the Chair. 



Dr. James Graham, Liverpool Street, and Dr. C. J. Martin, 

 Sydney University, were elected members of the Society. 



The Chairman with deep regret reminded the members of the 

 Society that since the last meeting there had passed away another 

 of our scientific worthies, Mr, R. D. Fitzgerald, so well and so 

 widely known for his knowledge, and for his artistic and beautiful 

 delineation, of Australian Orchids. He felt sure therefore that 

 the Council in having taken steps to make known to the members 

 of the deceased gentleman's family the feelings which have been 

 evoked by this sad event — the sense of loss sustained by Botanical 

 Science in Australia, the appreciation of his work, the respect for 

 his memory, and the sympathy with those who had been bereaved, 

 the Council had but voiced the sentiments of every member of the 

 Society.
