The Committee appointed to arrange for the designing 

 and cutting of tlie Medal will shortly meet and settle this

With regard to the proposed memorial in the Natural 

 History Museum with which, it may be recalled, it was the 

 unanimous wish of the Members that the Union should be

 the form of a bronze tablet, with medallion-portraits of. 

 Messrs. Godman and Salvin, and a suitable inscription, 

 to be offered to the Trustees of the British Museum to be 

 placed in the Natural History Museum. 



Should there be, as the Committee hope, a generous

 Exploration Fund.'' the proceeds of which are to be used 

 in making scientific collections for the benefit of the 

 Museum. 



Subscriptions to this Memorial should be addressed to 

 the Hon. Treasurer of the Committee, Mr. C. E. Fagan, 

 Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, S.W. 7.
