ANNUAL MEETING HELD AT THE ROYAL INSTITUTION, October 20th, 1856. ROBERT M'ANDREW, Esq., F.R.S., PRESIDENT, in the chair. The following were elected Ordinary Members : JAMES JOHNSTON M'ANDREW. REV. JOHN HERBERT JONES, M.A. JOHN BIRKBECK NEVINS, M.D. The following resignations and removals from list, chiefly caused by change of residence and inability to attend the meetings, were announced: and By resignation Dr. Cohen, Rev. H. H. Hampton, George Hunt, Joseph King, Jun., William Lassell, Jun., Lieut. change of residence. Lord, Dr. Mitchell, Rev. Henry Griffiths, Rev. J. Porter, John Roberts, Dr. Ramsay, James O. Ryder, W. W. Rundell, and C. F. Salt. Removed from roll by operation of the laws. The following Thomas Dorning Hibbert, and George Melly, Jun. REPORT OF THE RETIRING COUNCIL was then read and unanimously adopted : At the opening of another Session, the Council meet the Society with one source of regret, and that is the retirement of the President, after a lengthened period of zealous attachment to its interests; but though Mr. M'Andrew's future abode will give him enlarged intercourse with Societies and men of science, we have the assurance that this Society shall receive his warmest support. The Council refer with pleasure to the prosperity of the Society, as shown by the Treasurer's Report, and the arrangements made for the Session we are about to enter on. Already one or more papers have been offered for every Ordinary Meeting, in response to the Secretary's application. The Council do not deem it expedient to recommend to their successors the continuance of the Sectional Committees previously organised, no material advantage having been derived from their co-operation. The volume of Proceedings for 1855-56 is now ready, and will speedily be in the hands of members. With other Societies the Council have to report a continuance of friendly intercourse. The interest which this Society has taken in the inquiries affecting ships' compasses, led your Secretary to endeavour to obtain from Dr. Scoresby, upon his return from Australia, an exposition of the experiments and results of that scientific voyage, but the private arrangements of Dr. Scoresby rendered it impossible for the Secretary to call a special meeting. The Society has had to mourn the loss, by death, of Joseph Brooks Yates, Esq,, and the Rev. Dr. Buckland; and, by resignation of his seat upon the Council, of the services of the Rev. Dr. Fischel, who has gone to the United States. Upon the almost irreparable loss of Mr. Yates, the Society has already expressed its opinion in an address to the family. The total number of Ordinary Members at present is 140, and the proposals of several gentlemen are before the Society. Last Session, twenty new members were elected, but by the operation of its laws and resignations, mainly caused by change of residence to a distance, and inability to attend the Society's meetings, twenty-six were removed from the roll. The Corresponding Members number 44, giving a totality of 184 members. The donations to the Society during the year ending June last, have been recorded in the minutes, and acknowledged in the "Proceedings." The Council have chosen the following five members as fit persons to supply the places of those who, by the laws, are not eligible for election upon the new Council: Richard Brooke, F.S.A., John Cunningham, F.G.S., Joseph C. Redish, George Hamilton, F.R.A.S., F.C.S., and James Thomas Foard. ROBT. M'ANDREW, F.R.S., President. DAVID P. THOMSON, M.D., Hon. Secretary. |
