44 Annual Meeting. 



Mr. Joseph Wright, in supporting, said Mr. Stewart was one of 

 the founders of the Naturalists' Field Club. For forty years he 

 was a member of the Committee of that Club, and published in 

 its transactions several very important papers. Combined with a 

 high scientific reputation, Mr. Stewart was universally respected 

 and esteemed. 



Mr. William Gray endorsed all that had been said with reference 

 to Mr. Stewart in the resolution proposed by Mr. Davies and in 

 the Report. Mr. Gray said he had never known a more faithful 

 official connected with any Society ; Mr. Stewart had done good 

 work as a Naturalist, both by his practical researches in the field 

 and his valuable contributions to the scientific literature of the day; 

 the results of his efforts to extend our knowledge of Irish Botany 

 are a credit to himself, the Natural History Society, and to 

 Belfast. 



Mr. Robert Patterson and the President supported the 

 resolution, which was unanimously passed. 



On the motion of Mr. Ferguson, seconded by Mr. Kyle, a vote 

 of thanks was accorded Sir Otto Jaffe for presiding, and 



The proceedings terminated.
