examined and put in their places. And the list would be long of the books 
and journals which he gave to our library. Even after he went to England 
he kept up his connection with, and his interest in, this Society, and 
continued to send us ‘‘ Nature.” We have received no direct intimation 
of his death, but the fact was mentioned three or four months ago in one 
of the papers, and, as I said, I think we ought to'put on record our sense 
of the great loss that we and the cause of science have sustained, I beg 
to move a resolution to that effect. 
Co!onel Olivier seconded the resolution, and after Dr, Pollen had addressed 
a few remarks, endorsing what Mr, Aitken had said, the resolution was put 
to the meeting, and carried unanimously,
