secretary's report. 
During the Spring of 1893 " The Proceedings," Vol. XII. part 
III., was published, and the membership there recorded is : — 
Honorary Members ... ... ... 6 
Life Members ... ... ... 45 
Subscribing Members ... ... 139 
Total ... ... 190 
but enquiries evidently proved that the names of many gentlemen 
had been retained on the roll after they had ceased to have any 
active interest in the affairs of the Societ}^ A careful revision of 
the roll has resulted in a considerable reduction in the numbers, but 
without, by any means, a corresponding loss of interest or support. 
During the period, June 1893 to December 1894, thirteen of the 
members have been removed by death, and thirty-two by resignation. 
During the same period eighteen new members have been admitted. 
The present roll of membership is as follows : — 
Honorary Members ... ... ... 6 
Life Members ... ... ... 48 
Subscribing Members ... ... 109 
Total ... ... 163

The issue of the Proceedings, Vol. XII., part IV, was unfortu- 
nately delayed by several unforseen difficulties, and the Editors much 
regret that it should have been so late in reaching the members. 
They hope, however, in future to issue the papers read during the 
year as early as possible after each Annual Meeting. An enlarged 
Woodbury type reproduction of an excellent photograph of the late 
Mr. James W. Davis (by Mayall and Co., London), with autograph, 
was issued to the members in the place of the usual geological photo-
