'* Among the members deceased during the year were 

 two of your Council. The late Richard Carmichael and 

 William Cooke Taylor, ll.d. ; both losses were deeply 

 felt by the Council. 



"Surgeon Carmichael (an original member of the 

 Society) though not directly engaged in ordinary zoological 

 pursuits, was eminently acquainted with some of the more 

 abstruse and more valuable branches of animal physi- 

 ology. His was a European celebrity, which to dwell on 

 your Council feel would be only to recount the merits of 

 one whose deeds are personally known to most, publicly 

 known to all of you. A very short time before his death 

 he expressed his intention of being more actively engaged 

 in the service of the Society than he had been before. 



" Dr. Cooke Taylor, a man of wonderful general infor- 

 mation, contemplated aiding the Society with his versatile 

 pen. Had he lived he. no doubt, would have done much 

 to make popular the objects of the Society.
