This is not the place to give a detailed account of Dr. Madden's 

 many publications, but there is probably not one here present Avho is 

 not aware of the distinguished position he occupied in literature, and 

 who does not feel that the Academy is the poorer by the loss of 

 such men from her midst. 



The scene of Sir Arthur Phayre's labours was very different, but 

 in his case also the Council feel that they should not allow the name 

 to be passed over without the tribute of a special reference. 



Thomas Andrews, m.d., ll.d. Dublin, Edinburgh, and Glasgow ; 

 F.E.s. ; Hon. f.e.s.e. ; Honorary and Corresponding Member of various 

 foreign societies ; Vice-President and Professor of Chemistry in the 

 <iueen's College, Belfast, was born December 19th, 1813, died Novem- 

 ber 26th, 1885. He studied for several years in Trinity College, 

 Dublin, distinguishing himself both in Science and Classics. After 

 taking his degree in the University of Edinburgh in 1835, he devoted 

 himself to medical practice in Belfast, his native town. 



The strong bent of his mind towards original investigation is 

 shown by the fact, that in these early years, when he was occupied 

 with a busy and successful practice he found time to carry out several 

 important scientific researches. It was during this period that he 

 made the series of experiments on the Heat evolved in chemical 

 combination, the accounts of which appear in our Transactions.
