part 1] ANNIA^ERSARY ADDEESS OF THE PRESIDENT. IxXL 



Association. During the last few 3^ears of his life he was attached 

 as Geologist to the Geological Survey of Southern Khodesia, and 

 Avas the author of two of its recently-published Keports. His 

 discovery of the chalcedonized fossils at the base of the Kalahari 

 Sand, described recenth^ by Mr. 11. B. Newton, ^ affords an im- 

 portant clue to the age of the South-African plateau. 



.B}^ liis personal influence, as well as by his writings, Molyneux 

 rendered o-reat service in fosterins? the o-rowth of science in a new 

 country, where it is now a strong plant. lie was active in ])yo- 

 moting the establishment of the Khodesia Museum at Bulawayo, 

 and was one' of the founders and mainsta3'^s of the llhodesia 

 Scientific Association, which he served at one time as President 

 and continuously in other capacities. Through all the hardships 

 and vicissitudes of a pioneer's life, his placid and kindl}'' disposition 

 remained unimpaired, and gained him friends everywhei'e. He was 

 among us at the beginning of the present Session, having under- 

 taken a short visit to England in the hope that the voyage and 

 change might recuperate his failing health. He was elected a 

 Fellow of our Society in 1897, Avas a recipient of the Wollaston 

 Donation Fund in 1909, and died suddenly on December 28th, 

 1920, almost immediately upon his return to Bulawayo. 



"[G. W. L.] 



jAiiES Keeye was born in 1833. Joining the staff of the 

 Norfolk & Norwich Museum as an Assistant in 1817, he was 

 appointed Curator live years later, resigning that office in favour 

 of Mr. F. Leney in 1910, but holding the position of Honorary 

 Curator until his death. His interests were widespread, and much 

 of his work, therefore, was extra- geological, but he made a large 

 collection of fossil mollusca from the Norwich Crag, one or two of 

 them being new to science, and still bearing his name, as does the 

 collection itself, which is j^reserved in the Norwich Museum. 



He collaborated also Avith the Rev. J. Gunn in the stud}'^ and 

 arrangement of the latter's unrivalled series of mammalian fossils 

 from the so-called ' Forest-Bed ' of the Cromer coast and elsewhere, 

 as he did also with that of the finest collection of raptorial birds 

 in the world (formed hj the late J. H. Gurney, and presented by 

 the latter to the Norwich Museum), as to Avhich there is preserved 

 in its Library a ponderous volume of correspondence between 

 Gurney and Ileeve, dating from 1856 to 1890,
