ANNUAL GENERAL ilKETlNG. 391 



the withdrawal of such a central figure is very much felt. It 

 seems as if in the absence of the late Curator the key-note of many 

 a relic in our collection must be dumb. The Council feels it 

 cannot allow one who has so long and faithfully served it to 

 depart without putting on record the high appreciation of his 

 services, and the sorrow felt at the afflictions which have made 

 it necessary for him to resign, nor could it let so valued an old 

 servant leave without making him some slight allowance for his 

 support during his declining years. 



The President having been elected for two years has still 

 one more year to serve. The Council proposes the election of 

 the following, as Vice-Presidents for the ensuing year : — Dr. 

 Jago, F.R.S., Eev. Canon Moor, M.E.A.S., Mr. H. M. JefPery,
