Vlll 
REPORT OF THE 
Our losses during the past year have been considerable. 
We shall only mention in particular Mr. William Walker and 
Mr. Geo. C. Dennis. 
Mr. William Walker, F.G.S., was the senior vice-president 
of the Society, and for many years had taken a deep interest in 
its affairs. He was mainly instrumental in securing the 
present improved approach from Museum Street to the 
Society’s grounds, and the erection of the Lodge. 
Mr. G. C. Dennis rendered great services to the Society 
both as a member of Council and as Honorary Curator of 
Entomology. During his life time he enriched the collections 
under his care by several valuable donations, notably a 
collection of noxious insects, and at his death he bequeathed 
to us his excellent collection of Lepidoptera. 
The Society has further lost 9 members by death and 30 
by resignation, but these losses have been more than counter¬ 
balanced numerically by fresh accessions of members. 
The Council desire to place on record the loss the Society 
has sustained by the removal from York of Mr. James Edward 
Clark, B.A., B.Sc., for many years the indefatigable Curator of 
Meteorology, who enriched our reports with so many valuable 
papers. The Rev. W. Johnson, B.A., Head Master of Arch¬ 
bishop Holgate’s School, has kindly undertaken the duties of 
the office thus vacated.
