Abstracts of the Papers read at the Monthly Meetings will 
be appended to this Beport. 
Thirteen new Members and five Associates have been elected 
during the past year, and eleven Lady Subscribers have been 
admitted, but the loss by death or resignation during the same 
period was thirteen Members, four Associates, and five Lady 
Subscribers. Among the Members deceased was the Bev. E. 
W. Stillingfleet, the presentation of whose beautiful collection 
of Antiquities to the Society was announced in the last Beport. 
Of our Honorary Members, one of very old standing died 
towards the end of last year. This was William Bean, Esq., of 
Scarbro’, a distinguished Geologist, whose knowledge, especially 
of the fossils of his own locality, although not evinced by numerous 
publications on his part, enabled him to furnish other writers 
with much valuable information, and thus gave him an influence 
on the progress of Yorkshire Geology which will hardly be 
appreciated hereafter. The Council recommend the election, 
as Honorary Members of the Society, of Mrs. Strickland and 
Mrs. Trevenen, the widow and sister of the late Arthur Strick¬ 
land, Esq., as some slight acknowledgement of the magnificent 
present which they have made to the Society.
