The Chairman announced that the vacancy which had occurred in the list of vice-presidents of the Society through the lamented death of Mr. James Barnard, the oldest member of the Society, had been filled by the election by the Council of Mr. R.

He (the Chairman) thought the Fellows would fully endorse the election.
Mr. Johnston briefly thanked the Council and Fellows for their appreciation of him.
