zeal in the pursuit of science, and of his skill as a Paleon- 
tologist, a skill which, making its first mark in the Transactions 
of the Cotteswold Club, blossomed forth into those splendid 
monographs published by the Paleontographical Society, with 
which the Doctor’s name will be honorably associated through 
all time. He was a strong man, and held to his opinions

ordinary members, six honorary members, and five officers—

coming subscriptions are added, will shew a very handsome 
balance to our credit.

C. Lucy, F.G.8., Vice-Presidents; Dr Parnr, M.D., Honorary 
Secretary, and E. Wircuert, F.G.8., Honorary Treasurer. 
The Treasurer’s accounts showed a balance of about £100, 
besides considerable arrears yet to be got in. The favorable 
condition of the finances brought up again the question of
