only one in that thoroughfare which has remained unchanged for 

 more than sixty years. Mr. Moore Avas a member of our Society 

 for many years He was a kindly -hearted and courteous gentle- 

 man, and his loss will be greatly felt. Canon Lett's death leaves 

 a gap in the ranks of Northern Naturalists. He devoted con- 

 siderable time to the study of the lower Irish Cryptogams and to 

 Irish Archaeology, both prehistoric and ecclesiastical. He was 

 born at Hillsborough on the 4th December, 1836, and died at 

 Aghaderg on the 26th December, 1920, at the age of 84. 



Mr. Burton Sefton was one of the members who joined the 

 Society through the new scheme of membership. He took a 

 great interest in our proceedings, and died in August last.
