Mr. Josiah Mullens, before he came to Australia, was 

 clerk in charge of the Stock Exchange Department of 

 Drummond's Bank in London. He landed in Melbourne in 

 1852 when it was little more than a collection of canvas 

 tents, then he came to Sydney and entered the firm of 

 George Alfred Hill to which he was the gold-buyer. Leav- 

 ing the firm, he started business on his own account as a 

 share-broker, and two years after the establishment of the 

 Sydney Stock Exchange he was elected its Chairman, which 

 office he held for fifteen years. Of studious and retiring 

 habits, he was interested in Egyptology and antiquarian 

 investigations, especially in the work of the Palestine 

 Exploration Society and of the discoveries of ancient civili-

 authority on archaeology and was a well-informed Egypto-

 Australian branch of the Egypt Exploration Fund. As a 

 trustee of the Sydney Art Gallery, he rendered active 

 service in the interests of that institution. He was a 

 member of the Royal Geographical Society, and was elected 

 to the Royal Society of N.S. Wales in 1877. He was a 

 frequent attenda nt at our meetings until a few years before 

 his death, which occurred on October 22nd, at the ripe age 

 of 89 years.
