November 5th, 1919. 



Mr. G. W. Lamplugh, F.K.S., President, 

 in the Chair. 



The List of Donations to the Library was read. 



The Names of certain Fellows who are in Arrears with their 

 Annual Contributions were read out for the second time, in 

 accordance with the Bye-Laws, Sect. YI, Art. 5. 



The President then made the following announcement : — 



' The Council regret to inform the Fellows that Mr. C. P. Chatwin, who had 

 been Librarian of the Society since May 1913, tendered his resignation on 

 June 25th last, and in the course of October left to take up his new duties as 

 Lecturer in Palaeontology at the University of Liverpool. The regret of the 

 Council at his resignation will be shared by all the Fellows who have 

 experienced Mr. Chatwin's helpfulness. During the War, great demands were 

 made on the resources of the Library by various Government Departments,' 

 and Mr. Chatwin responded ably to these demands, besides, in the enforced 

 absence on war service of other members of the staff, taking a large part in 

 the conduct of the Society's current business. 



' In seeking to fill the post left vacant by Mr. Chatwin's resignation, the 

 Council have fortunately been able to secure the services of Capt. Arthur 

 Greig, who had entered the Society's service in 1908, joined the army in 1914, 

 and remained in the service until he was demobilized in September this year. 

 On receiving his application for the Librarianship, the Officers, taking into 

 consideration his long experience of the Society's work and the admirable 

 manner in which he had always fulfilled his duties, had no hesitation in 

 provisionally appointing him to the post, and they have recommended the 

 confirmation of his appointment by the Council, and the sanction thereof by 

 the Fellows.'
