During the year the Council received with regret the resignation of two of its 

 number, Sir Archibald Ceikie and the Right Rev. Bishop Mitchinson. Both had 

 rendered devoted service to the Society for many years, and the Council passed 

 special resolutions expressing their high appreciation of this service. 



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 the apartments of the Society. 



In conclusion, it is proposed that, in addition to those who have resigned, Mr. 

 W. K. Spencer be the other retiring member of the Council ; that the new 

 members be Miss M. S. Johnston, Mr. H. L. Hawkins, and Mr. G. W. Young ; 

 that the new Vice-President be Dr. G. J. Hinde ; 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.
