540 General Monthly Meeting [Dec. 6, 



Professor Meldola was one of the most distinguished Chemists of the 

 time. His researches in the Chemistry of Colouring Matters, Photographic 

 Chemistry, his works on " Chemical Synthesis of Vital Products, " Coal, and 

 what Ave get from it," and his many original ]3apers on chemical subjects, 

 have opened some rare fields of enquiry, some of which have led to great 

 industrial success. 



Professor Meldola was not only distinguised as a Chemist, but also as a 

 Biologist, and a man of intellectual activity in all departments of knowledge. 



He was a INIember of the Royal Institution for thirty years, and served as 

 a Visitor and a Manager. He delivered two Friday Evening Discourses : " The 

 Photographic Image" (1890) ; "Mimetic Insects" (1891). He also delivered 

 a Course of Lectures in 1905 on " Synthetic Chemistry." 



Resolved, That the Managers desire to express, on behalf of the Members 

 of the Royal Institution, their most sincere sympathy with Mrs. ^leldola and 

 the family in their bereavement.
