William Ivison Macadam, who on June 24tli of this year met 
with his sudden and tragic death in the laboratory at Surgeons’ 
Hall, was a son of the late well-known Dr Stevenson Macadam, for 
many years a Fellow of this Society. Mr Ivison Macadam was edu- 
cated at the Eoyal High School, the Edinburgh Collegiate School, 
and, later, at Heidelberg. On his return home he became associ- 
ated with his father in his work at Surgeons’ Hall, and afterwards 
held the post of Lecturer on Chemistry at the Hew Veterinary 
College for nearly twenty years, and lectured on the same subject 
at the Medical College for Women. Last year, on the death of 
his father, he succeeded to the Lectureship on Chemistry at 
Surgeons’ Hall. Mr Macadam was widely known in Edinburgh as 
a most enthusiastic Volunteer, his service extending over a period 
of twenty years. Joining as a young man, he ultimately rose to the 
rank of Brigade-Major of the 1st Lothians Volunteer Brigade. 
His enthusiasm, his military instinct, his organising abilities and 
capacity for hard work gained him the appreciation and respect of 
his fellow-Volunteers. He was a Fellow of the Institute of 
Chemistry, of the Chemical Society, a Member of the Antiquarian 
Society, and had acted as President of the Royal Scottish Society 
of Arts, and contributed papers to the publications of all these 
bodies. He was elected a Fellow of this Society in 1888. 
John M. M‘Candlish, Writer to the Signet, who died on 10th 
November 1901, at the age of eighty-one, became a Fellow of the 
Society in 1867. A prominent lay member of the Free Church of 
Scotland, he rendered it valuable service, more especially in con- 
nection with its financial affairs, concerning which his opinion, as 
an ardent churchman no less than as a distinguished member of 
the Faculty of Actuaries, always carried great weight at the 
annual Assemblies of the Church. It was he who drafted the 
lines on which the financial relations of the Free and the United 
Presbyterian Churches were amalgamated. 
Jambs A. Wenley was born at Stornoway sixty years ago, and 
died on 29th March 1902. He received his education at the
