JUBILEE MEETING. — HONORARY MEMBERS. 
This was seconded by Mr. W. Townend, and carried. 
The President : And now, gentlemen, it falls to my lot to pro- 
pose the next resolution, that the following gentlemen be elected 
honorary members of this society : — 
Prof John W. Judd, F.R S., President of the Geological 
Society, London. 
Dr. Henry Woodward, F.R.S., Keeper of the Geological 
Collections at the British Museum. 
Prof. N. Bodington, M.A., &c.. Principal of the Yorkshire 
College. 
Prof. T. McKenny Hughes, F.R.S., &c., Cambridge. 
Prof. W. C. Williamson, F.R.S., Owens College. 
I submit these names to you as the names of gentlemen who will 
do honour to the society. They are men of the very highest dis- 
tinction in their respective departments of science, and their 
acceptance of the honorary position is a proof that they respect the 
work we are doing, and that it is for the general advancement of 
science. (Hear, hear.) 
Mr. Davis seconded this, and said : From the earliest days of 
this society, it has been one of its privileges to elect men dis- 
tinguished in science as honorary fellows, and it is only in accordance 
with these precedents that w^e are electing gentlemen whose names 
have been read as honorary members of the society. I am quite sure 
they will do honour to the society, and in thanking them for their 
past services, we may entertain a lively hope of favours to come. 
(Laughter and applause.) 
Prof. Judd and Prof. Bodington each spoke his acknowledg- 
ments . 
Prof Judd then gave an address on " The relation between the 
central societies and local ones." He said: It has often occurred to 
me that the name of our society is a very striking and at the same 
time a suggestive one. There are many polytechnic societies, and 
of the geological societies there are not a few. But I believe this 
society is the only one which is at the same time a geological and a 
polytechnic society. There may be hypercritical people who would 
suggest that this title is a misnomer. And that if "Polytechnic"
