pamphlet commences with a mention of the Explorations of Dr. ; 
and Capt. Strachey, the former in northern North America, the latter 
in the Himalayas, and the presentation to them of the Gold Medals of 
the Geographical Society. The able address of Murchison, after some 
introductory remarks, makes mention of the career of several members 
of the Society who have died the past year: among whom are Vice 
Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm, who died at Brighton, June 14, in his 
69th year; Mr. Bartholomew Frere, born in 1776; the Earl of Derby,

Dahomans,” who died on the 25th of March at the age of 34 years: 
and of foreign members, Walckenaer of France, Schouw of Denmark, 
and Inghirami of Florence. The author next reviews the recent Arctic 
researches, and the Gold Explorations in Australia, and mentions the 
researches in Physical and Descriptive Geography made by British inves-

the first on the chief botanic regions of the world, the last on oceanic eur- 
rents and river systems; also Dr. Smith’s Ancient Geography ; some re- 
searches of the Meteorological Society ; and the Ordnance Surve of
