Wednesday, December 6, 1911. 329 



1. The Council have to report that the list of Governors and 

 Members has undergone the following changes during the year 

 which has elapsed since the Annual General Meeting on 

 December 7th, 1910; 8 new Governors, and 908 new Members 

 have joined the Society, and 3 Members have been re-instated 

 under By-law 14; whilst the deaths of 5 Life Governors, 3 

 Governors, 109 Life Members, and 101 Annual Members have 

 been reported. A total of 54 Members have been struck off the 

 books under By-law 12, owing to absence of addresses, 67 

 Members under By-law 13, for arrears of subscription; and 2 

 Governors and 206 Annual Members have resigned. 



2. The losses by death sustained by the Society during the 

 current year include three Governors who had all served on the 

 Council. Earl Cawdor joined the Society in the year 1863, 

 became a Member of the Council in 1882, and was elected a 

 Trustee in 1900, which oflBce he retained until his death early in 

 the present year. As Viscount Emlyn, his Lordship was for many 

 years Chairman of the Chemical and Woburn Committee, and 

 in 1901, when the Show was held at Cardiff, he occupied the 

 Presidential Chair. Mr. Reginald A. Warren, whose death, at 

 the age of 91, occurred recently, became a member in 1857. In 

 the year 1878 he was elected a Member of the Chemical Com- 

 mittee, though he did not actually become a Councillor until 1882. 

 In this office he continued until 1905, when, owing to advancing 

 age, he decided not to seek re-election. Mr. Warren's services 

 will be recalled by his old colleagues more particularly in con- 

 nection with the Society's Experimental Farm at Woburn. More 

 recently has been announced the death of the Earl of Onslow, 

 who was a Member of Council from 1905 to 1907. His Lordship 

 had held many important posts in the Empire, but will probably 

 best be remembered by Members of the Society as President of 

 the Board of Agriculture from 1903 to 1905.
