Mr. E. D. Oldham, F.E.S., President, 

 in the Chair. 



The List of Donations to the Library was read. 



The Names of certain Fellows of the Society were read out for 

 the first time, in conformity with the Bye Laws, Sect. VI, Art. 5, 

 in consequence of the Non-Payment of the arrears of their Annual 

 Contributions. 



The Peesident made the following announcement : — ' I have 

 to report to the Society the loss of two old and valued Fellows. 

 The Earl of Ducie was elected in 1853, and, although not the 

 most senior on our list, was the oldest Fellow with whom we had 

 maintained communication ; throughout the long period of his 

 Fellowship he has continuously shown interest in geology and 

 helpfulness towards geologists. In Dr. Henet Woolwaed we 

 lose a valued and familiar friend, and a very regular attendant 

 at our mieetings until quite recent years, when age and failing 

 health prevented his presence. Elected in 1864, he had served for 

 many years on the Council and in other offices of the Society, 

 including the Presidency ; but his greatest service to geology was 

 probably the founding of the ' Greological Magazine,' which he 

 conducted continuously from its initiation until a couple of years 

 ago. The Council has already recorded its sympathy with his 

 family in their bereavement, and I feel sure that you will wish to 

 associate yourself with its action.' 



The announcement was received by the Fellows present standing.
