The Pbesident made the following announcement : — 



' By the decease of Prof. Thomas Rupert Jones, F.R.S., in his 92nd year, 

 the Geological Society has lost one of its oldest and most valued members, 

 who was formerly (1850-1862) Assistant Secretary of the Society, and Editor 

 of the Quarterly Journal. During his long life Prof. Rupert Jones was an 

 ardent geologist and paleontologist, and has left behind him in the Pakeonto- 

 graphical Society's Memoirs, in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological 

 Society, in the "Geological Magazine," and in the "Annals & Magazine of Natural 

 History " no mean record of his abilities and strenuous labours. Nor was his 

 work confined to original papers, but as Editor of the Quarterly Journal of 

 the Geological Society, the " Geological Magazine," the " Reliquiae Aquitanicte," 

 Dixon's " Geology of Sussex," the " Arctic Manual," and other works, he 

 showed a high-class capacity in literature. 



' Never in receipt of more than a very moderate income, derived from a 

 small pension upon his retirement from the post of Professor of Geology in 

 the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, he was unable to make any suitable 

 provision for his death (when his pension ceased), and has left a widow with 

 two daughters and an invalid son, almost wholly unprovided for. 



' It is proposed to form a Committee of Geologists to consider the means of 

 providing some memorial in aid of the widow and daughters of the late 

 Professor. Any Fellows present willing to assist in this object are requested 

 to communicate with the Assistant Secretary.'
