were proposed at this meeting, and admitted on that of the 
10th, when Sir. R. Cox finished his History of Judland; read 
some papers on Ireland, and on the bringing of the Society 
into its ancient model, &c. On this evening the Hon. Francis 
Roberts was elected President; Dr. Charles Willoughby, 
Seeretary, and Francis Cuff, Esq., Treasurer. 
‘¢ Bound up with this minute book are several copies of a 
letter, which I judge to be of the same date, and of which the 
following is a copy: 
**¢ Sir,—The Dublin Society is again revived, and they 
have ordered me to give you notice of it, and desire me to 
renew their correspondence with you. Weare as yett but very 
young, and therefor cannot hope to make any suitable returne, 
but must have a little time to settle, after the disorder the 
warr has put every thing into here. Mr. Roberts is chosen 
President, and our Society increases by new elections, so that 
we may expect it may be considerable, and then there may be 
something fit to be communicated from, 
«¢ ¢ Sir, your most humble Servant, 
‘¢¢ Owen Lioyp,’—F.T.C.D. 
‘«* A considerable hiatus occurs after this entry ; but it ap- 
pears that in the year 1707, an attempt was made to re-esta- 
blish the Society ; but its success was not of any long duration, 
and this MS. contains a register of the philosophical papers 
read before the Society, from August 5th, 1707, to March 
11th, 1708. The Earl of Pembroke, then Lord Lieutenant 
of Ireland, presided over the Society at this revival. Addit. 
MSS. 4812.

cerning an odd Hare's Tooth; afterwards accounted for by Dr.
