He was a regular attendant at the Council meetings as well as 
at the general meetings, and did much in many ways for the 
promotion of the objects of the Society, its interests and welfare. 
I repeat what I have already said on a previous occasion,—that 
only those who have worked with or who have otherwise been 
closely associated with our late Vice-President can fully appreciate ; 
and testify to his great honesty of purpose, impartiality, even dis- : 
position, tolerance, and uniform courtesy. 
The regret of his friends and the respect in which he was 
generally held were shown at his funeral by the large gathering 
of all classes, and especially of his past students. Public bodies, 
such as the University, the Legislative Council, and other institu- 
tions with which he was connected, also expressed their apprecia- 
tion of his long and meritorious services, by passing resolutions of 
‘condolence and sympathy with his widow in her bereavement.

As you are aware, it has been resolved by the Council to collect 2 
subscriptions for the purpose of providing a memorial for our late | 
Vice-President, in the form of an oil painting, similar to that of the 
Rev. W. B. Clarke, a former Vice-President, and, if there be any 
surplus funds, to found a prize to be awarded from time to time for 
meritorious contributions to physical science. I am sorry to Saf, 
however, that the amount collected up to the present is quite = 
* 
insufficient for the latter purpose,
