At the Anniversary Meeting of the year our minds naturally revert to those of this Fellowship whom the past twelve months have taken from it. In December last, in his eighty-third year, died Charles Douglas Hanbury-Tracy, 4th Baron Sudeley, naval officer and also Member of The Inner Temple. Keenly interested in science, he had given long public-spirited service to the cause of the National Museums, urging on more than one Government and at more than one period critical for their finance, the scientific and educational importance of them to the country.
