Preface

At their meeting of March 22, 1900, the Council resolved:— “That the Obituaries of deceased Fellows, in addition to appearing in the ‘Year-Book,’ be issued, either yearly or at such other intervals as may seem desirable, in a volume uniform with the ‘Proceedings.’” The present volume, containing the Obituary Notices in the Year-Books for 1900 and 1901 is accordingly issued, and will be followed at suitable intervals by similar collections from future issues of the Year-Book. Two or three notices will be found at the end of the collection which were not included in the Year-Book for 1901. It has been thought convenient to add a general index to all the Obituaries that have appeared in the volumes of the “Proceedings” since their publication was commenced, which was in vol. 10, published in 1860.
