Four new members have been enrolled durmg the 

 past year. 



By death the Society has lost two members : Mr. 

 William Oelrichs and Mr. Arthur E. Lewis. Mr. Oelrichs 

 had been a member for nearl)' 30 \'ears, during a portion 

 of which time he ser\ed the Society as its Honorary 

 Secretary, and for a lengthened period was a most useful 

 and energetic member of the Council. His genial 

 helpfulness was always at the disposal of his friends, and 

 his loss to the Society is felt to be a great one. Mr. 

 Lewis, although a member of but a few years' standing, 

 had won the esteem and regard of those members with 

 whom he came into contact. 



Three members have resigned, among them Dr. 

 William Carter, who is leavmg Liverpool. From the 

 formation of the Society in 1868 Dr. Carter has been a 

 member, and has more than once occupied the Presidential 

 Chair. The Council feel that such honour as is at the 

 Society's disposal should be conferred upon him, and they 

 cordially recommend his election to the list of Honorary 

 Members. 



There were at the close of the ye;ir four Honorar)- 

 Members and fifty-four Ordinary Members.
