Resolrrd. That tlic Executive Committee pi.-.ee on the reeorcl 

 their deep sense of loss in the deatii ot Yw. Samuel Tiiorne, on 

 July 4, 1915. 



-Mr. Thorne was one of the very earliest Patrons of tiie Society. 

 having qualified in July, 1897, and subsequently Ix-canu-, throutili his 

 munificent subscrijitions, a Founder and a Benefactor, lie was also 

 one of the early members of the Executive Committei'. and a most 

 faithful and helpful attendant at the many meetiniis w lien the plan- 

 ning and constructi\e work of tiie Zoological Park wi-rc under way. 

 \t the tiiiu- of his death he was Vice-President of the Society. 



Mr. Thome's singularly agreeable personality endeared him to 

 his associates, and his tact and consideration towards otiiers added 

 to his natural force of character in tlie imi)ress lie made on tlic 

 achievements of the Society. 



To the Society his loss will lie great, and t<. liis friends on the 

 Committee there remains the last sad (hity of placing this record 

 of his services on tlie minute^.
