It is my pleasant duty to welcome you all most warmly to this meeting, which is one of the many events stimulated by the advisory committee of the William and Mary Trust on Science and Technology and Medicine, under the Chairmanship of Sir Arnold Burgen, the immediate past Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. This is a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the British Academy, whose President, Sir Randolph Quirk, will be Chairman this afternoon, and it covers Science and Civilization under William and Mary, presumably with the intention that the Society would cover Science if the Academy would cover Civilization. The meeting has been organized by Professor Rupert Hall, a Fellow of the Academy and also well known to the Society, who is now Emeritus Professor of the History of Science and Technology at Imperial College in the University of London; and Mr Norman Robinson, who retired in 1988 as Librarian to the Royal Society after 40 years service to the Society.

According to our honoured custom I preface this annual address by references to those of our Fellows whom death has taken from us during the past year. Arthur Hutchinson (1866-1937), Emeritus Professor of Mineralogy in the University of Cambridge and lately Master of Pembroke College, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1922. He had served on the Council from 1932 to 1934 and was a Vice-President for the year 1933-4. While still young Hutchinson made a name for himself by brilliant researches on the chemistry and crystallography of stokesite and other minerals. He devised a stereographic projector and a slide rule which are much used by students of crystallography: and he was skilful in the construction of crystal models and lecture-room apparatus. As a teacher in the University of Cambridge he was highly successful: though it was not until 1926 that he became Professor of Mineralogy, his work had long been of professorial standing. When the use of X-ray methods from 1914 onwards opened up a new crystal science, he at once attached himself to its ways and aided its development. He designed his instruments afresh. He devoted his energies towards the organization of his Department to meet the altered needs in teaching and research. He was a devoted servant to Science, an excellent investigator, an able teacher and one of the kindest and most loyal of friends.

Arthur Hutchinson, Emeritus Professor of Mineralogy in the University of Cambridge and lately Master of Pembroke College, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1922. He had served on the Council from 1932 to 1934 and was a Vice-President for the year 1933-34. His death on 12 December 1937, only five months after his retirement from the Mastership of his College, came as a shock and great grief to family and friends alike. He had devoted himself to the teaching of Mineralogy in Cambridge and to the service of his college, and it may be said with truth that nowhere was the science of Mineralogy better taught and in no college was there a more devoted member or better Master.

Edmund Brisco Ford, Emeritus Professor of Ecological Genetics in the University of Oxford, Distinguished Fellow of All Souls College and Darwin Medallist of the Royal Society, died on Thursday 21 January 1988 at the age of 86. His body was cremated and, at his request, the ashes were scattered on a grassy Cotswold hillside near Birdlip. In death he returned to the butterfly-meadows that had been the setting for so much of his working life. As the author of what is widely regarded as the best book on butterflies ever written, he progressed through entomology to using his insects as tools for the study of evolution, and finally (as he wrote) to ‘invent and develop the science of ecological genetics.’ 1 * In doing so he became one of the outstanding evolutionary biologists of his generation, famous not only for the quality of his science but also for the individuality, not to say the eccentricity, of his behaviour. ‘Henry’, as he was known to friends and colleagues, was a man about whom tales accumulated. * Numbers in this form refer to entries in the footnotes at the end of the text.

The following paper is the first of a series of articles which we hope to publish on the Action of Sea-snake Venoms. The work dealt with herein was carried out mainly in the Materia Medica Laboratory of the University of Edinburgh. The kymographic work, however, was done in the Physiology Laboratory of that University, and we desire to express our sense of indebtedness to Professor E. A. Schafer for permitting us to use his apparatus. Previous Literature of the Subject . This is very scanty. The main contributions have been the recent ones by Captain Leonard Rogers, to which we shall have frequent occasion to refer. They appear in the ‘Proceedings’ of the Royal Society, May 7th, 1903, and June 18th, 1903.
