Mr. Joseph Sonnnerville made some remarks on the inflores- 

 cence of Hedera Helix, L., and drew attention to the stellate 

 pubescence which covers the pedicels and calyces, a portion of 

 which he showed under the microscope. 



The following papers were read, viz. : " Experiments with 

 Chilian Seed Potatoes — Report for 1884," by Mr. Thomas King;* 

 "A Week at Glen Shee," by Mr. Peter Ewing. t 



The Chairman referred to the loss which the Society is 

 about to sustain by the removal from Ghxsgow to Manchester 

 of Mr. Peter Cameron, one of the Vice-Presidents. 



27th January, 1885. 



Mr. Robert Turner, Vice-President, in the Chair. 



On the motion of the Chairman the Society unanimously 

 agreed to place on record their regret at the announcement 

 of the death of Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys, the eminent conchologist. 



The Chairman referred to a movement now being carried on 

 for providing a suitable memorial to the late Mr. Roger Hennedy, 

 formerly lecturer on Botany in Anderson's College, Glasgow, 

 and author of the well-known Clydesdale Flora. Mr. Tm^ner 

 expressed the hope that the movement would meet with the 

 support, not only of the Members of the Society with which 

 Mr. Hennedy had long been connected, but of others interested 

 in the diffusion of scientific knowledge, especially in that 

 branch to which Mr. Hennedy had been attached. 



The Secretary (Mr. Boyd) exhibited specimens of Tetrodontiiun 

 Broicnianiun, Dicks., from Biglees Glen, near "West Kilbride,.
