"There are 13 candidates for Ordinary Membership, 

 2 for Honorary Membership, 4 for Fonigu Membership, 

 and 1 for Colonial Membership/' 



Arising from tlic Report, Mr, A. Trevor-Battye moved 

 that it was desirable that there should be a memorial in 

 the A^atural History Museum to the memory of the late 

 j\tr. F. Du Cane Godmau, and that the Committee of the 

 Union, together with Lord Rothschild and Mr. J. G. 

 Millais, should meet to consider how best this matter could 

 be carried out. 



This was seconded by ]\ir. H. J. Elwes, who suggested 

 that the name of Mr. Salvin, for so many years the scientific 

 partner of Mr. Godman, should be associated with that of 

 Mr. Godman. 



The motion was carried. 



Mr. E. C. Stuart Baker then moved that the Union 

 should found a medal to be given from time to time for 

 distinguished Ornithological work, in memory of Messrs. 

 Godman and Salvin, and that the medal be called the 

 " Godman-Salvin " medal. 



This was seconded by Mr. E. Bidwell, and supported by 

 Lortl Rothschild. 



After some discussion it was agreed that this second 

 motion referred to the Union alone, but in the case of the 

 Memorial in the Museum, the other Scientific ISocieties 

 and bodies with which Mr. Godman was connected would 

 probably wish to join with the Union in carrying out the 

 Memorial. 



The motion was carried unanimously. 



Messrs. G. H. Lings and H. Massey were appointed 

 Scrutineers to superintend the Ballot, 



The following 13 candidates for Ordinary Membership 

 Avere then balloted for and elected : — 



Geoffrey Frances Archer, C.M.G. 

 Edward Carleton Arnold. 

 Thomas Porter Backhouse.
