The Section desires to express its sorrow at the loss of two of its 

 most prominent members in the following resolutions: 



Moved by Prof. Prince, seconded by Prof. MacKenzie, that this 

 Section desires to give expression to its sense of profound regret in 

 the loss of Sir James Grant, one of its oldest and most widely known 

 members. At the earliest meeting of the Royal Society, Sir James 

 Grant presented papers upon Geology, and from time to time during 

 the long period of forty years he took an active part in the work of 

 Section IV, and was prominent in the general work of the Society, 

 becoming in 1909 President of the Royal Society. As a public man, 

 a member of the Federal Parliament for many years, as a venerable 

 medical practitioner, and as an original Fellow of the Society, his loss 

 is one calling for special record. 



Moved by Prof. Lloyd, seconded by Prof. Walker. The members 

 of Section V of the Royal Society of Canada desire to express and to 

 record their sorrow of the loss of one of its most active and influential 

 members by the death of Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt. 



Dr. Hewitt was a public-spirited and devoted scientist, true to 

 the best ideals of useful citizenship. His work in the interests of 

 Canada in the field of Entomology and Ornithology have earned him, 

 who has died at a too early age, a lasting place in the memory of his 

 colleagues in The Royal Society of Canada. 



The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: President, 

 Professor A. P. Knight; Vice-President, Professor Lloyd; Secretary, 

 Professor Thomson.
