VI.—ELECTION OF CHANCELLOR AND VICE- CHANCELLOR. On the 28th May, 1900, the Honourable Sir John Madden, K.C.M.G., B.A., LL.D., and the Honourable Sir Henry Wrixon, K.C.M.G., M.A., were respectively re-elected ChanceUor and Vice-ChanceUor for the ensuing year. VH.—COUNCIL ELECTIONS. Dr. David Grant, M.A., M.D.. Ch.M., was on the 3rd January elected a member of the CouncU in the place of Dr. James Jackson, M.D. A vacancy has also occurred by the termination of the period of office of Mr. A. W. Howitt, who is not seeking re election. This vacancy has not yet been fiUed. VTJI.—CHAIR OP GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY. This Chair, which became vacant by the death of' Sir Frederick McCoy, has been fiUed by the appoint ment, on the 11th of December, 1899, of Dr. John Walter Gregory. In the previous August the Council requested the Agent-General, Sir Andrew Clarke, to invite applications for the offloe, and asked his assistance and that of Sir Archibald Qeike, P.R.S., etc., etc, Direc tor-General of the Geological Survey of Great Britain and Ireland, Professor Judd, F.B.S., Dean of the Royal CoUege of Science, S. Kensington, Professor Marr, F.R.S., Professor of Geology in the University of Cambridge, Professor Lapworth, F.R.S., Professor of Geology in the Mason College, Birming ham, in examining the testimonials of candidates and in forming a judgment on their relative fitness to dis charge the duties of the Professorship. ANNUAL REPORT, 1899-1900. 425 The Committee met on 23rd October, and had the applications of thirteen candidates placed before them. From these, after fuU consideration, they unanimously selected three names. The following extract from the Report of the Committee shows the high opinion entertained by the Committee of the qualifications of Dr. Gregory for the Professorship:— "The Committee desires to express its opinion that the claims of Dr. Gregory are so far above those of any of the other candidates as to' place him entirely apart. His distinguished academic career, and his subsequent wide and varied experience in many parts of the world, mark him out as excep- tionaUy qualified for a Professorial Chair in a University. His original researches have shown him to be a thoroughly equipped Geologist. He is an able Palaeontologist, trained by long practice both in the museum and in the field. He is likewise an exceUent Mineralogist and Petrographer. He has travelled widely, not only in the British Isles, but in the Alps, the West Indies, Central and Eastern Africa, and Spitzbergen. The original papers pub lished by him and his volume on his African experience show him to possess powers of a very high order both in observation and description. He lectures and speaks well, and his enthusiasm for his subject attracts students and would thus advance greatly the progress of Geology in Australia."
