XXXV111. ABSTRACT OP PROCEEDINGS. 



should like to say that I consider the Society holds a very important 

 place in the community, both on account of the work which it 

 publishes, and on account of the ideal of scientific work which it 

 holds up. Personally I am immensely indebted to the Society for 

 the encouragment it has always given me and also for the great 

 use I have had of its fine library, without which it would have 

 been impossible at one time for me to have done any work at. all. 

 I shall always look back upon my connection with the Society 

 with the warmest gratitude and pleasure, and consider that the 

 fellowship of the Society is one of which any man might be proud. 

 Let me conclude by again thanking you all for your kindness 

 towards me."
