ciates of the Society have resigned during the past year; 
11 Members and 6 Lady Subscribers have been lost to the 
Society by death, whilst 17 new Members, 1 Lady Subscriber, 
and 5 Associates have been elected dming the past year. 
The Council have to regret during the past year the com¬ 
paratively sudden decease of J. H. Gibson, M.D., one of the 
Vice-Presidents of this Society. Dr. Gibson presented to us 
some years ago the magnificent Skeleton of the Moa, which is 
one of the most conspicuous and valued objects in the Osteo- 
logical Room. He also rendered great assistance to the Curator 
of Antiquities in his department; whilst the arrangement of the 
new Ethnological Room in the Museum is entirely due to Dr. 
Gibson’s extraordinary energy and good taste. 
The Council recommend for election as new Members of 
Council the Rev. T. Adams, Edwin Wade, Esq., J. L. Foster, 
Esq., and W. Barnbjq Esq., in the place of J. P. Wood, Esq., 
Richard Pearson, Esq., E. W. Smithson, Esq., and Win. 
Barnby, who retire by rotation. 
The Council also nominate S. W. North, Esq., as Vice- 
President, in the room of Dr. Gibson, deceased.
