In both capacities his services to the Society have been of the 
greatest value. 
He was also at the time of his death Master, for a second 
term, of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners. 
His death took place after a brief illness on the 20th December, 
1900, in the 64th year of his age, and he was interred in the Church- 
yard at Shirley on the 24th December, his friend and colleague, 
the Rev. W. Wilks, the vicar, conducting the last sad offices. 
His valuable collections have been by his will placed at the 
disposal of the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, to 
select from them such specimens as they need to complete their 
own series. 
The usual summary of the Proceedings and Meetings of the 
year has been prepared by the Editorial Committee, and follows 
the Address.

Some Hotes on Surrep Science. 
Lapies AND GENTLEMEN, 
Last year I brought under your notice what had been done, 
outside our Club, for the Geology of our county in the past 
ten years. I have tried to carry on this work for other sciences, 
but need hardly say that the work soon proved to be too great, 
so that my notes had to be limited to one branch of natural 
science, besides my own special one. For valuable notes on 
other branches of Natural History, the ‘ Proceedings’ of the 
kindred Holmesdale Club and the ‘Surrey Magazine’ should 
be referred to by those who are studying the Natural History of 
the county.

As our Club does regular systematic work in this subject, an 
account of some of the papers published elsewhere that refer to 
the Meteorology of the county may be the more acceptable. I 
have therefore carefully gone through the ‘ Journal of the Royal 
Meteorological Society’ and the ‘ Proceedings’ of the Holmesdale 
Club, leaving those specially interested to look up other works. 
It is needless to refer to Symons’s ‘ British Rainfall,’ or to his 
‘Meteorological Magazine.’
