The following letter from Baron von Mueller was read :— 
24 June, 1893. 
It is my mournful duty, dear Prof. Liversidge, to convey my profound 
condolence to the Royal Society of New South Wales at the death of its 
distinguished member and Past-President, Dr. Leibius. This triste in- 
telligence comes to me with sudden sadness, in as much as I was not even 
aware of any serious ailing of his. Much will he be missed by us, for he 
was not only a sterling man of knowledge, but also a genial sympathetic 
friend, as I experienced myself, and all the more as I had so little claim 
on his generosity. 
If his friends unite to erect a monument at his grave, I will readily 
contribute. 
With regardful remembrance, yours, 
FERD. von MUELLER. 
The President referred to the great loss the Society had sus- 
tained by the death of Dr. Leibius, who had served it 50 long and 
so faithfully in the various offices of Honorary Secretary, President, 
Honorary Treasurer and Member of Council, and stated that a 
letter of sympathy had been forwarded by the Council to Mrs. 
Leibius and family in their bereavement. 
The following papers were read :— 
1. “On the Languages of the New Hebrides,” by Mr. Sipnny H.
