Annual Report, 



Your Committee have pleasure in submitting the forty-eighth 

 Annual Report which will show that the prosperity of the Club 

 has been well maintained. 



During the season just ended 20 new members were elected, 

 of whom 1 8 have qualified by paying the necessary fees. Against 

 this there have been 7 deaths and 22 resignations, leaving the 

 membership of the Club on 1st April, 191 1, at 386. The death 

 of Mr. S. A. Stewart, one of the five founders of the Club, has left 

 a breach in our ranks which for many years is not likely to be 

 filled. A sum has been raised by your Club, and a monument, 

 consisting of a standing stone with inlet bronze medallion, is being 

 erected upon Mr. Stewart's grave to perpetuate his memory. A 

 history of Mr. Stewart's life and works will be found in the 

 Proceedings. The death of Prof. T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., of 

 Chesham, Bucks, one of the three Hon. Members of the Club, 

 will be deeply regretted. Prof. Jones was formerly Professor 

 of Geology at Sandhurst, and gave great assistance to those of 

 our members who were studying the Foraminifera. 



During the past year 8 Committee meetings were held, at 

 which the average attendance was more than 10. 



The Programme which had been arranged for the Summer 

 Session was duly carried out, with the exception of the excursion 

 to Massereene Park, Co. Antrim. Your Club being refused 

 permission to visit this demesne, an excursion to Dromore, Co.
