PRESIDENT S ADDRESS. 
and a very good all-round naturalist, he will be greatly 
missed at the meetings. 
Mr. C. A. O. Savill-Onley, who passed away on 7th September 
last, was a member of a Norfolk family, well-known in the 
annals of local Natural History, viz., the Marsham family. 
He belonged to this Society for many years, but being non- 
resident in this county, could not necessarily take much part 
in the work of the Society. 
Lieut. -Col. Francis d’A. Newcome died on 9th February 
last, at his residence, Thurston Lodge, near Bury St. Edmunds. 
He took great interest in public affairs, was a Justice of the 
Peace, and a Deputy-Lieutenant of Suffolk, and was held in 
great esteem by all with whom he came in contact. 
To close the melancholy list, I have to record the decease 
of Mr. Francis D. Longe, second son of the late Rev. Robert 
Longe of Coddenham Vicarage and Spixworth Hall, Norfolk. 
After leaving Oxford, Mr. F. D. Longe was, in 1858, called to 
the Bar, being attached to the Eastern Circuit. He after- 
wards became private secretary to the late Lord Goschen, 
who appointed him a general inspector of the Local 
Government Board — an appointment he held for nearly 
thirt}^ years. He displayed great interest in scientific and 
economic problems. After his retirement, and until he went 
to Ipswich, Mr. Longe took up his residence at Lowestoft, 
and it was probably his living there that led him to produce 
‘Lowestoft in the Olden Times,’ a book which was particularly 
entertaining. In 1902, having then been for some time one 
of the most active members of the Norfolk and Norwich 
Naturalists’ Society, Mr. Longe published ‘ The Fiction of 
the Ice Age, or Glacial Period.’ On his going to Ipswich 
Mi'. Longe’ s services were quickly sought by the Ipswich 
Scientific Society, and he was elected President. 
The total number of members now stands at 279. 
Our Library has increased, partly by exchange and partly 
by gifts of books and papers from Mr. J. H. Gurney, Mr. H. G.
