If this last statement be correct, adds Dr. Kolliker, there can be 
no doubt that the Hect. Argonaute is the male of the Argonaut.

Anniversary Meeting. 
May 24.—The Lord Bishop of Norwich, President, in the Chair. 
The President opened the business of the Meeting, and the list of 
the Members whom the Society had lost during the past year having 
been first read, the Secretary proceeded to read the following notices 
of some among them. 
The deaths among the Fellows amounted to thirteen. The first 
name is that of 
Francis Baily, Esq., one of the founders and the first Secretary 
of the Astronomical Society, of which he was afterwards four times 
President ; and in everything connected with that Society and with 
its objects he took a leading, an active, and a most efficient part. 
His labours in these departments were multifarious, and demanded 
both intense thought and incessant application. They are too little 
connected with natural history to admit of detailed consideration 
here; but a summary of them has been given by Sir John F. W. 
Herschel in an eloquent memoir of their author, published in the Phi- 
losophical Magazine for January 1845, which contains an ample 
record of the life, character and labours of this eminent man. 
Mr. Baily became a Fellow of our Society in 1817: he was also 
a Fellow of the Royal, Geological and Geographical Societies, an 
Honorary Member of the Royal Irish Academy, and a Correspondent 
of the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of France and of various 
other Foreign Academies. In 1835 the University of Dublin con- 
ferred on him the honorary title of D.C.L., and the same honour 
was awarded to him by that of Oxford in 1844. He died on the 30th 
of August last in the 71st year of his age. 
Charles Cordeaux, Esq., M.D. 
The Very Rev. Edmund Goodenough, D.D., F.R.S., Dean of Wells, 
was the son of the Right Rev. Samuel Goodenough, Bishop of Car- 
lisle, an original Member of this Society, for many years one of its 
Vice-Presidents, and well-known by his memoirs on British Carices 
and British Fucz, published in early volumes of our ‘ Transactions.’ 
Dr. Goodenough the son was himself much attached to the study of 
natural history: he was for many years head-master of Westminster 
School. 
William Griffith, Esq., the youngest son of the late Thomas Grif- 
fith, was born on the 4th of March 1810, at his father’s residence at 
Ham Common, near Kingston-upon-Thames, in the county of Surrey, 
He was educated for the medical profession, and completed his 
studies at the London University, where he became a pupil of Prof. 
Lindley, under whose able instructions, assisted by the zealous 
friendship of Mr. R. H. Solly, and in conjunction with two fellow- 
pupils of great scientific promise, Mr. Slack and Mr. Valentine, he
