144 Scientific ProceecUuys, Royal Dublin Society. 



It would not be fitting in this report to leave out all mention of Joly's 

 work for the Eoj'al Dublin Society. No man has done more for the Society 

 both by giving to its publications his best work, and also by his wise counsels 

 in tlie direction of its affairs, first for eight years as a member of the Council, 

 and subsequently for twelve years as one of the Society's Honorary Secretaries. 

 In this latter position liis world-wide reputation was no small addition to the 

 prestige of the Section which he represented ; while liis scientific zeal did not 

 prevent him devoting an immense amount of energy to forwarding the general 

 aims of the Society. He, with the late Professor Cunningham, suggested the 

 Koyal Dublin Society's scheme of marine research, which was afterwards taken 

 over by the Department of Agriculture ; and he was responsible for the policy 

 and was foremost in the negotiations by which the Royal Dublin Society 

 acquired the new Art Industries Hall.
