ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. 3 
I propose to make allusion to the life-work of Baron von Mueller 
under Part III. of my address. 
Dr. Tuomas CHAMBERS was sixty-seven years old at the time 
of his death, which took place on the 24th August. He wasa 
native of Yorkshire, and in the year 1858 became a Member of 
the Royal College of Surgeons, England; in 1867 a Fellow of the 
Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, and in 1875 a Fellow of 
the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh. He became Senior 
Physician in the Chelsea Hospital for Women, as he took a great 
interest in, and during his whole life made a study of, the diseases 
of women. In 1882 Dr. Chambers was compelled by ill-health to 
relinquish an extensive London practice and seek the more con- 
genial climate of New South Wales, and in his adopted country 
lived a highly useful and successful life. For some years he was 
lecturer on midwifery and the diseases of women at the Sydney 
University ; and he was recognised as one of the greatest gynx- 
cological authorities in Australasia. He was an Hon. Physician 
of Prince Alfred Hospital, and in 1892 was Hon. Treasurer of 
of the Intercolonial Medical Congress held in Sydney. The 
deceased gentleman had also occupied the position of President of 
the New South Wales Branch of the British Medical Association, 
&@ society in which he always showed considerable interest. 
The death of Captain Witt1am Henry Exprep, occurred on 
the 17th January. He was in his seventy-eighth year, and had 
ably fulfilled the duties incumbent upon him as Consul-General 
for Chili, though of late he had not figured very prominently in 
public. A genial and hospitable man, he will be chiefly remem- 
bered amongst us for the interest he took in acclimatisation 
matters, particularly referring to plants, spending much time and 
energy in the reciprocal introduction of plants of Chili and 
New South Wales. | 
By the death of J. P. Garvan on the 25th November, the
