One of these names — that of Mr. Brash — ^has been of freqnent 

 occurrence in our Proceedings. He was a zealous and industrious 

 student of our National Antiquities. He published, not long before 

 his death, a work on the Ecclesiastical Architecture of Ireland to the 

 close of the twelfth century, and he had collected materials for a com- 

 panion volume to be devoted to the history of the Pointed Styles, as 

 practised in this country. He also contributed memoirs on kindred 

 subjects to the " Ulster Journal of Archseology " and the " Proceedings 

 of the Eoyal Historical and Archseological Society of Ireland." He had 

 of late occupied himself much with the study of Ogham inscriptions, 

 and embodied many of the results of his researches in papers read before 

 the Academy. He discovered several new inscriptions of this kind, and 

 called attention to others which were known, but had not received 

 due attention from investigators ; and has thus done real service in 

 the elucidation of this obscure and difficult subject. 



Nineteen Members have been elected since the 16th of March, 

 1875, viz. :— 



1. The Yiscount Powerscourt. 



2. James E. Lombard.
