The Society of Swedish Naval Officers, Stockholm, has also been admitted as a subscriber. On the other hand, death has removed nine of our members, and among them two who have, from the beginning, been most active in furthering the ends and promoting the interests of the Society.
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.
