PREFACE. 



WHEN the Council of the Society resolved, some time ago, 

 that a complete list, up to the date of issue, of the mem- 

 bers of the Society and of its Officers should be prepared 

 for publication, it was thought that it would not involve 

 more labour than that of adding to the list in Dr. Angus 

 Smith's Centenary Volume the names which have accrued 

 since 1881. As soon, however, as the work was begun, it 

 was found necessary to examine the records of the Society 

 carefully anew. Lapse of time has made it difficult to 

 identify some of the earlier members, and it is to be 

 regretted that the publication of a list was not attempted 

 at an earlier date in the Society's history. Any informa- 

 tion regarding the members which this publication may 

 elicit will be welcomed. The intention has been to find 

 out the full names of all the members and to identify them 

 as far as possible. With this view, distinctive degrees and 

 titles have been given, when they are known, and the 

 descriptive term senior or junior has been retained when it 

 seems to serve this purpose. 



It is hoped that the examination of the records has 

 disclosed some matters of interest to members, notably in 

 the determination, with only one case of uncertainty, of 



Nov. 3th, 1896.
