 us to-night. You are all aware that our resolution to adopt some special mode of 

 marking our sense of the valuable services rendered to Canada by the eminent 

 Geologist who first filled the office of President of this Institute, had been fully 

 considered and recorded before the pleasing intelligence reached us that the valua- 

 ble labors of Sir William Logan, in the cause of science, had been honored by a dis- 

 tinguished mark of the favor of his Sovereign ; and that so soon as we had ascer- 

 tained that his return to Canada, for which ho had done so much, might soon be 

 expected, it was unanimously resolved that we, the members of the Canadian In- 

 stitute, should take the first opportunity, as a body, to tender him our congratu- 

 lations on his well-merited honors ; and further, that we should request him to sit 

 for his portrait, to be hung up here as a lasting memorial cf one to whose name we 

 could always point with pride and satisfaction, as the first Canadian who has 

 achieved for himself an European reputation in the world of science. And now, 

 Sir William, with your permission, I will proceed to read the address, on behalf of 

 myself and my brother members, which I am sure is not the language of mere for- 

 mal compliment, but is sincerely expressive of the feelings of affectionate esteem 

 and respect entertained towards you by every member of this Institute." The 

 President then read the following
