WEDNESDAY, 26th AUGUST, 1891. 



The President, Professor Haswell, M.A., D.Sc, in the Chair, 



The Minutes of the previous Meeting were read and signed. 



The Chairman announced to the Meeting with deep regret the 

 death, only that morning, of the Government Geologist, Mr. 

 Charles Smith Wilkinson, F.G.S., F.L.S. Mr. Wilkinson 

 was an Original Member of the Society, for several years was a 

 Member of the Council, in the years 1883 and 1884 was President, 

 and since 1885 had been one of the Vice-Presidents. His enthu- 

 siasm in the cause of Geological Science, his extensive knowledge 

 of the geological features of Eastern Australia, his many personal 

 qualities, and his decease at the comparatively early age of 47, 

 combine to render his loss one which will be severely felt. 



On the motion of Mr. Henry Deane it was resolved that a letter 

 of sympathy from the Meeting be sent to Mrs. Wilkinson. 



The reading of papers and other business was deferred, and the 

 Meeting then adjourned to September 30th.
