Tlie following resolution of regret at the decease of Mr. Richard 
Carter, RG.S , was moved by Mr. R. Reynolds, F.C.S., seconded 
by Mr. J. Stnbbins, F.G.S., and carried : — 
" That this Society expresses its sorrow at the removal by death 
of one of its Vice-Presidents, and a member of Council, Mr. Richard 
Carter, C.E., F.G S. A member of the Society since 1818, and of 
the Council since 1884, Mr. Carter has been constant in his support 
during this long period. His zeal for geology, combined with a 
mature experience of the history of the Society for nearly half a 
century, and the geniality of his friendship gave to Mr. Carter's 
influence an especial value, and his loss is felt by his colleagues to be 
very great."
