"That the Academy desires to record its deep sense of the loss 

 sustained by itself and by the cause of science in the death of Dr. 

 Humphrey Lloyd, Provost of Trinity College, who was for forty-nine 

 years one of the most distinguished Members, and for five years Presi- 

 dent, of the Academy. 



*' His fame as an original investigator and successful cultivator 

 and promoter of Physical Science is of European extent ; but it would 

 be unsuitable to dwell thereon now when his recent loss is still so 

 prominently before our minds. 



" Yet it may be allowable to say that our sorrow at his departure 

 is tempered with thankfulness that such a man has lived, and with 

 pride at the lustre shed upon the Academy by his connexion there- 

 with. Those who knew him best and most intimately are they with 

 whom his personal character and disposition were in highest estimation. 



" The Academy hereby tenders to Mrs. Lloyd and the other sorrow- 

 ing relatives of the late Dr. Lloyd its sincere sympathy and condolence 

 in their bereavement." 



Dr. Frazer proposed, and Mr. H. Smith seconded, that the Academy
