Mr. J. G. Rosengarten read an obituary notice of Rev. W. 

 H. Furness, D.D. 



Mrs. Stevenson read a paper on the recent discovery in 

 Egypt of non-Egyptian remains. Numerous specimens were 

 exhibited, principally pottery, showing various shapes of de- 

 velopment. These belonged to a race which had invaded 

 Egypt 3500 or 2800 B.C., bringing its customs without 

 adopting much from the country occupied by it. 



Dr. Frazer moved the thanks of the Society to Mrs. Ste- 

 venson for her address. Adopted. 



Dr. Brinton objected to the identification of the Libyans 

 with the neolithic tribes. In his view they were near relatives 

 of the triljes now known as Berbers. In his opinion the in- 

 vaders descended on Abydos from the Oasis Magna. 



Pending nomination 13-16 and new nomination 13-17 were 

 read. 



Dr. Greene offered a resolution of inquiry, why certain 

 omissions were made in the records of the proceedings. 



The Secretaries explained that the communication was in- 

 formal and without motion and seemed to have no place in 

 the minutes.
