BOMBAY GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETYo XXI
F.R.G.S., late President and now Honorary Member of the
Society. 2. Captain H. G. Raverty, late of the Bombay
Army. 3. Commander W. P. Mitcheson, late I.N., and
By Death (2)—1. J. M. Erskine Esq <: , C. S. 2. W. Tracy, Esq.
So that the Society has on its Lists to-day 152 Members.
The Honorable Mr. Frere entered the Society in 1845, was elected
Vice-President in 1857, and President in 1862. But owing to his
final retirement from India, he was obliged to resign the office of the
President of this Society. In him we have lost one of our oldest
active members, and one who, for his regular attendance at our
meetings, his moral as well as high official influence, and his zealous
endeavours for the promotion of the Society’s objects, has been
deservedly held in very high esteem, and has justly been considered
one of the main causes of the present prosperous condition to which
the Society has attained. In appreciation of all these valuable
services the Society presented to him an Address at an Extraordinary
Meeting held on the 4th April 1865, and a Subscription List has been
opened with a view to have his Portrait in our Library Booms. Mr.
Frere was also elected an honorary member of the Society.
From Captain IT. G. Raverty, who entered the Society in 1850, we
have the following valuable paper :—
“Diary of a March with the 3rd Regiment N. I., from Roree to
Mooltan and Peshawuir.”
Messrs. Erskine and Tracey, whose loss it is our painful duty to
record to-day 9 had continued worthy members during their connection
with the Society.
It is most gratifying to observe that the last Session has not only
surpassed all its predecessors by greatly enlarging the Society’s List
ot Members, but also by adding materially to its Funds. {Vide
Appendix A, which shows that the balance in the Society’s favour
was, on the 1st May 1864, Rs. 2,541-143, and 1st May 1865,
Rs. 12,633-2-6.)
Among the many donations received during the past year, the
following munificent gifts occupy a prominent place : —
