ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING* 

 Colonel T. H. Hendley, CLE., in the Chair. 



The Minutes of the previous Meeting were confirmed. 



The Secretary read a telegram from the Rev. J. B. Whiting 

 expressing his regret that he was unable to be present, his medical 

 advisers having forbidden it. 



DEATH OF REV. DR. F. A. WALKER. 



The Secretary also alluded to the death of the Rev. Dr. F. A. 

 Walker, F.L.S., which took place on January 31st, and which was 

 a great loss to the Institute. Dr. Walker had travelled in Iceland 

 and studied the insects of that country and had written several 

 papers. He (the Secretary) had, on behalf of the Institute, attended 

 the funeral on Saturday last, and he was sure it was the wish of 

 the Society that he should express their regret and sympathy with 

 the widow and family. 



Mr. Rouse said he wished informally to express for himself his 

 regret to hear of the death of Dr. Walker. He spoke of his genial 

 manner and Christian character, and expressed the hope that 

 some one would be raised up to fill the gap which his death had 

 caused in the ranks. 



Professor Orchard also expressed his regret and remarked on 

 the almost encyclopaedic knowledge which Dr. Walker possessed on 

 many subjects. 



Mr. Whiting's paper, entitled " The Growth of the Kingdom of 

 God, " was read by the Secretary, and discussion followed.
