The President exhibited to the meeting the portrait of the late Dr. 

 Stoliczka, which had just arrived from England, together with a copy of a 

 photograph of it by the Woodbury process, of which a copy would be 

 presented to every subscriber to the Fund, and read the following extract 

 from a letter of Mr. A. Grote on the subject : 



" I enclose you a photo, of Dickinson's portrait of Stoliczka, which is 

 now in King & Co.'s hand for shipment to Calcutta. The print is I think 

 fairly satisfactory, it is from a second negative taken from an unsuccessful 

 print which I had touched up by an artist under Dickinson's supervision. 

 The cost of the work therefore will be some £4 over the original estimate. 

 Geflowski's second model for the bust seems to have been approved by 

 Oldham, Hyde and Medlicott, and he is now proceeding with the work 

 in marble." 



The Seceetart read an extract of a letter from Mr. W. H. Dall, of 

 the United States Coast Survey, to his father, the Eev. C. H. Dall, M. A., 

 announcing the death of Mr. F. B. Meek, the celebrated American 

 Palaeontologist. 



Dr. Feistmantel said — On the 21st December, 1876, died at Wash- 

 ington, Mr. F. B. Meek, the excellent Palaeontologist of the United States 

 Geological and Geographical Survey under the direction of Prof. Hayden. 

 He published a great many important papers treating on the most various 

 subjects of zoological palaeontology, from almost all formations in different 

 countries. These papers were published by him partly alone, partly in com- 

 pany with Mr. T. Hall, Mr. T. V. Hayden and lately with Mr. A. H. 

 Worthen. 



His palseontological papers are contained in different American Jour- 

 nals and Proceedings of Societies, but the most important are in the Survey 

 papers, viz..^ in the publication on the Geological Survey of California, Vol. I. 

 1867, on Carboniferous and Jurassic Fossils (with 8 Plates) ; in the papers 

 on the Survey of Illinois, Vol. II, 1866, Description of Invertebrates from 

 the Carboniferous System, by F. B. Meek and A. H. Worthen — (with many 

 plates) ; Vol. Ill, 1868, Palaeontology of Illinois, by Meek and Wor-
