 of Physiology in 1903. Becoming F.R.S. in 1883, he was awarded

 on account of his valuable contributions to physiology. 



SIR JETHRO JUSTINIAN HARRIS TEALL was born at Northleach, 

 Gloucestershire, on January 5th, 1849, graduated with distinction 

 in geology from St. John's College, Cambridge, at which he obtained 

 a fellowship, and, after publishing an important work on British

1900. On October 25th, at a meeting attended by twenty-

 passed by the Royal Society Club on June 28th. A similar 

 resolution was now carried with one adverse vote, and a 

 committee appointed to give it effect. 



1901. At the Anniversary Meeting on April 25th, the 

 number of members present being twenty-two, the Treasurer 

 reported that there had been 97 attendances at the eight 

 meetings in the past yeai as against 100 in the previous 

 one. The draft rules for the amalgamated Clubs were 

 read and passed after slight emendations. 



These rules have been printed by Sir A. Geikie in the 

 Annals of the Royal Society Club, 1 so it will suffice to indicate 

 their main differences from the original rules of the Philo- 

 sophical Club, the more distinctive of which have been 

 already given. 2 The combined Club is to consist of sixty- six 

 ordinary members, all of whom must be Fellows of the Royal 

 Society, with the following ex officio members : the President,, 

 the Treasurer, the two Secretaries and the Foreign Secretary, 

 and the Astronomer Royal ; the President of the Royal Society 

 on joining the Club becomes its President. The Anniver- 

 saiy Meeting is to be held on the Thursday of the week in
