PROCEEDINGS FOR 1901 Ni 
2. ELECTION oF NEW FELLOWS. 
Since our last meeting our Society has had the misfortune to lose 
three of its most prominent members, Dr. Marchand, the Abbé Verreau 
and Dr. G. M. Dawson, to whom fuller references are made at the 
close of this report. Though no nominations were made to fill up these 
vacancies, caused in the first and fourth sections by these regrettable 
deaths, nominations were duly sent out, in accordance with the amended 
rule of 1900, on the 15th day of March to add two members to the third 
and fourth sections respectively. The ballots received by the Honorary 
Secretary show that Professor Owens, of McGill University, has received 
adequate votes for fellowship in the third section, and that Professor 
MacCallum, of the University of Toronto, and Mr. Lawrence M. Lambe, 
of the Geological Survey of Canada, have received the necessary votes 
for election to the fourth section. 
The Council therefore have much pleasure in recommending that 
the gentlemen in question be declared duly elected Fellows of the Royal 
Society of Canada. In connection with this matter the Honorary 
Secretary calls the attention of the Council to the fact that if the new 
rule, requiring all the nomination papers to be sent out at a definite 
date, is to work satisfactorily in all respects it is absolutely necessary 
that all such nominations be forwarded to him at least three days before 
the 15th of March, as otherwise it will be impossible to have them 
printed in time to comply with the conditions of the rule. 
The rule is a great improvement on the one that previously pre- 
vailed; and will work most satisfactorily if members only keep in mind 
the suggestion that has just been made. The Council accordingly 
recommend that all nominations be sent in to the Honorary Secretary 
at least three days before the 15th of March in each year. 
3. DIPLOMA OF FELLOWSHIP. 
The Council have had prepared a draft of a diploma of fellowship 
in the Royal Society of Canada which it is proposed to have neatly 
engraved and issued to all present and future members. The Council 
submit the draft for the approval of the Society.
