These are:-- Captain MONTAGU BURROWS, R.N., Chichele Professor of History in the University of Oxford, and known to all of us as the author of the _Life of Hawke_; and Rear-Admiral Sir WILLIAM WHARTON, K.C.B., Hydrographer to the Admiralty.
The names of the others are:-- Sir W.LAIRD CLOWES; Earl COWPER; Lord CURRIE, G.C.B.; Commander W.M.LATHAM, R.N.; Mr.C.A.

NANKIVELL; Mr.G.R.

STEVENS; Commander W.H.WATSON, R.N.R.
While congratulating the Society on the improving appearance of the list, the Council would again urge on every member the necessity of his individual co-operation in the endeavour to make the work of the Society more generally and widely known.

To this end they also invite the assistance of the Press.
