﻿ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



February 21st, 1908. 



Sir Archibald Geikie, K.C.B., D.C.L., LL.D., Sc.D., Sec.R.S., 

 President, in the Chair. 



Keport of the Council eok 1907. 



The flourishing condition of the Society was marked in the past 

 year by a further increase in the Number of Fellows. In 1907 

 the Fellows elected numbered 74 (as compared with 54 in 1906), 

 and 58 of these paid their Admission-Fees before the end of the 

 year. Moreover, 16 Fellows who had been elected in the previous 

 year paid their Admission-Fees in 1907, making the total Accession 

 of new Fellows within the twelve months under review amount 

 to 74. 



Setting against this number a loss of 47 Fellows (27 by death, 

 9 by resignation, and 11 by removal from the List, under Bye-Laws, 

 Sect. YI, Art. 5), it will be noted that there is an increase in the 

 Number of Fellows of 27 (as compared with an increase of 12 in 

 1906, and a decrease of 12 in 1905). 



The total Number of Fellows is thus increased to 1278, made 

 up as follows: — Compounders, 2QQ (7 less than in 1906); Con- 

 tributing Fellows, 981 (35 more than in 1906, and 5o more than 

 in 1905) ; and Non-Contributing Fellows, 31 (1 less than in 1906). 



Turning now to the Lists of Foreign Members and Foreign 

 Correspondents, we have to deplore the loss of two illustrious 

 Foreign Members, Prof. Marcel Bertrand and Dr. Edmund 

 Mojsisovics ; and also the loss of one Foreign Correspondent, Prof. 

 Carl Klein. Moreover, at the end of 1906, there had remained 

 one vacancy in the List of Foreign Correspondents. These vacancies 

 were, in part, filled by the transfer of Dr. E. E. A. Tietze and Prof. 

 A. Issel from the List of Foreign Correspondents to that of Foreign 

 Members ; and by the election of Baron G. J. de Geer and Prof. 

 A. Baltzer as Foreign Correspondents. At the end of 1907 there 

 were still 2 vacancies in the List of Foreign Correspondents.
