secretary's report. 
Just before our September Council Meeting, the sad news was 
received of the death of Professor A. H. Green, F.R.S., of Oxford, 
one of the Vice-Presidents of our Society. The Council unanimously 
decided to pass a resolution of respectful and sincere sympathy with 
Mrs. Green and her family in this great bereavement. It was resolved 
that In Memoriam " notices of Mr. Thos. Hick and Professor Green 
should be inserted in the next part of our Proceedings.
