supplemented by a later paper in 1902. His last contribution, 

 * Some Notes on the Neighbourhood of the Victoria Falls, Rho- 

 desia ' (1909), dealt chiefly with the age of the stone-implements 

 which he had collected during his visit to a son, since dead, who 

 was then Administrator in Northern Rhodesia. Codrington resided 

 for some 50 years in Richmond and Twickenham, where he gave 

 much attention to local affairs, and was held in high respect. He 

 died on October 21st, 1918. 



We have lost another of our oldest Fellows, with a standing of 

 nearly sixty years, by the death of Samuel Geoege Pheae, M.A., 

 D.D., formerly Master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, who also 

 was elected into the Society in 1859. Born at East Stonham in 

 Suffolk on March 30th, 1829, Phear graduated at Cambridge 

 in 1852 as Fourth Wrangler, and continued to be associated with 

 his College in one capacity or another for over seventy 3 T ears. He 

 recognized the importance of Natural Science as an essential in 

 education before this opinion was prevalent at Cambridge, and his 

 influence was valuable in advancing the study of science in the 

 University. He was elected Master of Emmanuel in 1871, and 

 resigned in 1895 on account of impaired health. He was Vice- 

 Chancellor of the University in 1S74 and 1875. He was unmarried, 

 and the last 23 years of his life were spent in quiet retirement at 

 Cambridge, where he died, in his 90th year, on November 26th, 

 1918. 



Johx Foeleeto^, M.D., another of our senior Felknvs, elected 

 in 1875, died on June 29th, 1918, at the age of 90. Though 

 not undertaking research himself, he was keenly interested in 

 geological matters and a personal friend of many geologists. He 

 was an active member of the Geologists' Association, serving as its 

 Honorary Secretary for many years in the 'seventies and 'eighties 

 and in other capacities. He bequeathed his large fortune in trust 

 to the Royal Society for the promotion of research in medicine. 



James P. Howley, elected a Fellow in 1883, was born at St. Johns 

 on July 7th, 18-17, and spent a long life on the Geological Survey 

 of Newfoundland, entering that service in 1866 as Assistant 

 Geological Surveyor under A. Murray, and succeeding him in 1889 as 

 Director. This position he retained until his death on January 1st, 

 1918, at the age of 71 years. Howley produced district maps o£
