All who enjoyed Mr. Miller's friendship will feel that they have 

 lost a kind-hearted, though keenly sensitive, friend. Strongly 

 imbued with a love of Nature and natural phenomena, he at the 

 same time kept himself in touch with the intellectual life of our 

 time. He leaves a widow and a son, fifteen years of age, who 

 is being educated at Fettes College. 



Joseph Walter Tayler was elected a Fellow of the Geological 

 Society in 1856. He was the son of the late Admiral Tayler, R.N., 

 and made several expeditions to Greenland with the object of 

 exploring the east coast and opening up again the old Danish 

 settlements said to have formerly existed along its shores, but now 

 completely blocked by the ice-pack. He was the discoverer of 

 cryolite at Evigtok, Greenland (see Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. 

 vol. xv. 1859, p. 140), and gave an account of veins of tin-ore 

 at Evigtok (op. tit. p. 606). He was an enthusiastic Arctic ex- 

 plorer, and gave to the Royal Geographical Society some interesting 

 observations on the Greenland glaciers, which he had carefully 

 studied. 



Frank Johnston, F.C.S., was by profession an Assayer at the 

 Rio Tinto Company's Mines. He was elected a Fellow of this 

 Society in 1884, and died at Tharsis, Huelva, Spain, in January 

 1895. 



John Evelyn Williams, M.Inst.C.E., was born on January 

 6th, 1845, and entered the drawing office of the Mersey Dock 

 Estate, Liverpool, at the age of 14 ; there he remained for six 

 years. He was afterwards engaged on dock- and harbour-works at 

 Bristol, Hull, and Whitehaven. In 1877 he became Surveyor to 

 the Witham Drainage Commissioners, and was actively engaged in 

 the improvement of the drainage and harbours of one of the most 

 important tracts of the Fenland until about a year before his death, 

 having retired from that service in 1895. Mr. Williams was 

 elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of London in 1880. 

 Several important memoirs upon the work carried out by him have 

 appeared in the Minutes of Proceedings of the Institute of Civil 

 Engineers.
