241 



past year, we have had to regret that of the Very Rev. Robert 

 Burrowes, D. D., Dean of Cork, and formerly Fellow of Trinity Col- 

 lege. Though not an original member, Dr. Burrowes was among the 

 very first members of the Academy. He filled the office of Secretary 

 for several years, and contributed some very elegant papers, in the 

 department of PoHte Literature, to the early volumes of our Trans- 

 actions. 



" Within the last few days we have had to lament the death of 

 another distinguished member of the Academy and Council, the Rev. 

 Caesar Otway, the author of several well-known works illustrative of 

 the history and antiquities of his native country, and abounding in 

 graphic sketches of Irish scenery, and vigorous delineations of Irish 

 character and manners. 



" In the list of honorary members, we have lost an eminent 

 Botanist, Aylmer Burke Lambert, Esq. He was the author of a 

 magnificent work on Pines, in three volumes, the last of which, more 

 recently published than the rest, contains some fine contributions 

 from the Californian collections of our countryman and fellow-acade- 

 mician, Dr. Coulter.

Peter Burrowes, Esq., Q. C. Isaac D'Olier, LL. D.
