On the 6th November the Committee approved of a program 
for the lectures and Meetings of the Institute up to March, 1894. 
inclusive. This program includes the continuation of Mr. Hart’s 
Lectures on Botany, and of Mr. Caracciolo’s Lectures on Zoology 
and three Lectures on Music proposed to be given by Mr. 
Doorly. It was then suggested that upon the completion of the 
courses of lectures now arranged for, Mr. Carmody should be 
asked to give a course of six Lectures on Chemistry and another 
course of six Lectures on Agriculture ; and that Mr. R. J . L. 
Guppy should be asked to give a course of six Lectures on 
Zoology, and another course of six Lectures on Geology ; and 
further that Mr. Hart should be asked to give another course of 
six Lectures on Botany. This, with the Lectures already 
arranged for on the program referred to (which has been printed 
and is in the hands of Members) would complete the arrange- 
ments for the year 1894. 
To this report is appended a List of the Members of the 
Institute. Should any inaccuracies be found in this List, the 
Committee will be glad if they are brought to the notice of the 
Secretary. 
During the year the Institute has lost by death one Mem- 
ber, the Honourable Henry Fowler, Colonial Secretary of 
Trinidad. Mr. Fowler was one of the original subscribers to 
the funds of the Institute. As Administrator of the Govern- 
ment, he presided at several meetings of the Committee of 
Management, and at a special general meeting of the Institute 
held so lately as the 26th September, 1893. Mr. Fowler took 
some interest in natural science — he collected Indian antiquities 
in British Honduras, and also in Trinidad, and some specimens 
collected by him are in the cases of the Museum. He died on 
the 27 th November.
