be necessary to use at least the greater part of the sum of £610 10s. 6d., which 

 is still temporarily invested in War Loan and Exchequer Bonds. The thanks of 

 the Society are due to Mr. F. W. Harmer for a gift of 15 guineas towards the cost 

 of the plates illustrating his Pliocene Mollusca. 



Among members who have died during the year, the Council desires especially 

 to refer to Prof. Charles Lapworth, Mr. John Hopkinson, Mr. Ernest Gibson, 

 Col. Linley Blathwayt, Mr. M. R. Pryor, and Dr. J. Alfred Codd. Prof. 

 Lapworth will always be held in grateful remembrance by the Society for the 

 great Monograph of British Graptolites which he planned and edited; and Mr. 

 John Hopkinson will be remembered for his long and valuable services on the 

 Council, by whom he was most highly esteemed. A few new members have joined 

 the Society, but many more are needed to replace the losses during recent years. 



The thanks of the Society are due to the Council of the Geological Society for 

 permission both to store the stock of back volumes, and to hold the Council 

 Meetings and Annual General Meeting in their apartments. 



In conclusion, it is proposed that, in addition to the late Mr. John Hopkinson, 

 the retiring members of the Council be Mr. G. Barrow, Mr. W. P. D. Stebbing, 

 and Prof. W. W. Watts ; that the new members be Mr. R. G. Carruthers, Prof. 

 E. J. Garwood, Dr. W. D. Lang, and Dr. W. K. Spencer ; that the President be 

 Dr. Henry Woodward; the Treasurer, Mr. Robert S. Herries ; and the Secretary, 

 Dr. A. Smith Woodward. 



Annexed is the Balance-sheet.
