The President then addressed the Society as follows : — 

 Gentlemen, 



Since our last Anniversary, another volume, the fourth, of the Society's 

 Catalogue of Scientific Papers, has been published, bringing the alphabetical 

 list of titles down to P O Z. Pursuant to the arrangement which I announced 

 last year, Professor Carus of Leipsic spent some weeks in London during 

 the spring, in preparing the Index Rerum. It was his intention to come 

 again in the autumn to continue his labours ; but the outbreak of the war 

 prevented him from leaving his home and family, so that the resumption of 

 his work is postponed for the present. The preparation of the Index 

 Rerum will, however, continue to engage the careful attention of the 

 Library Committee ; meanwhile I am glad to say that good progress is 

 being made with the printing of Volume V., of which a fourth part is 

 now in type. 



In the last summer we have had the misfortune of losing our Treasurer, 

 Dr. William Allen Miller, one of our most valued and distinguished 

 Fellows, and one who surely enjoyed the regard, as well as the high esteem, 

 of all who knew him. He was also one who, in addition to important 

 direct scientific work, had for several years shared actively in the cares and 

 the labours called for by the many and varying subjects referred each 

 year to the Royal Society, as represented by its Officers and Council, and 

 by the special Committees appointed by them to deal with each case as it 

 arises.
