OF THE

EDINBURGH GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Bedford,

January 1, 1871.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

Permit me, most respectfully, to inscribe to you the following pages, as a trifling acknowledgment of the honour you did me on December 22, 1864, by unanimously electing me a Fellow of your Society, and, more especially, of the further honour you conferred upon me on March 22, 1866, by admitting me "to all the privileges of Life Membership," which honor, I suppose, in the words of Cæsar, ante id tempus accidit nulli.

I have the honor to remain,

My Lords and Gentlemen,

Your obedient Servant,

T. A. BLYTH.
