IINNEAN SOCIETY OF LOXDOX. 5I 



leading to the discovery of Roman remains at Llantwich, Ely, and 

 elsewhere, and upon these he contributed occasional notes to the 

 ' Western Mail,' the most original among which are those dealing 

 with coal as used by the Romans in the making of iron. Storrie 

 was of a distinctly controversial temperament, and not the least 

 interesting of his contributions to popular literature and the press 

 are those argumentative. He was genial, honest, and unassuming, 

 ever ready to help to his utmost the earnest seeker after truth ; and 

 in him there has been lost a man who, having under difficult 

 circumstances realized in old age the early conceptions of his youth, 

 may be said to have led a really great life. 



He was elected an Associate of the Linuean Society on Feb IG 

 1899. 



Isaac Vaxjghan, who died on 20th May, 1900, in his 59th year, 

 will be best remembered as the editor of the 2nd, ^rd, and 4th 

 editions of Strangeway's ' Veterinary Anatomy," each of which he 

 considerably revised. He latterly led a very quiet life, having in 

 1880 retired from the Lectureship on Anatomy and Zoology at the 

 New Veterinary College at Edinburgh. He was a Fellow of the 

 Zoological Society, and a member of the Board of Examiners of 

 the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 



He was elected a Fellow of the Linnean Society on May 7, 1874. 



June 6th, 1901, 



Mr. W. Cakrxjthees, F.R.S., Vice-President, in the Chair. 



The Minutes of the Anniversary Meeting were read and con- 

 firmed. 



Messrs. John Henry Holland, William Henry Johnson, and James 

 Alfred Wheldon were admitted, and Messrs. Guy Halliday, Albert 

 Howard, and Albert Charles Seward were elected Fellows of the 

 Society. 



The Chairman announced that the President had nominated as 

 Vice-Presidents for the ensuing year, Messrs. W. Carruthers, Frank 

 Crisp, Dr. F. DuCane Godman, and Dr. D. H. Scott. 



The adjourned debate was resumed on Mr. H. M. Bernard's paper 

 " On the necessity for a Provisional jS"omenclature for those Forms 

 of Life which cannot be at once arranged in a Natural System." 



The following Resolutions were proposed by Mr. Bernard : — 



(1) That the Linnean method of naming is well adapted for 



indicating affinity, and should be used for that purpose. 



(2) That allied forms whose affinities arc not clear should be 



designated by some provisional method of naming, 



(3) That the method proposed by the author appears ta 



promise enough to justify its temporary apjilicatioii 

 to the Anthozoa.
