Since the last Annual Meeting, a slight increase has taken 
place in the number of members. The Society contained 
at that time one hundred and ninety-eight ordinary members. 
Of these two have died and five have resigned, whilst nine 
new members have been elected, making the number at 
present on the list two hundred. Mr. Laurence Buchan, 
who died in July last year, was one of the oldest members 
of the Society, having been elected in 1810. For a number 
of years he was a very regular attendant at the meetings of 
the Society. The Society has lost three honorary members, 
Baron Humboldt, General Brisbane, and the Rev. W. Turner. 
Mr. Turner, who died in April last year at a very advanced 
age, had been in the Society almost since its foundation. In
