The Most Hon. the Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair, P.C., K.T., G.C.M.G., G.C.V.O., who died on 7th March,1934, at the age of eighty-six, had been a vice-president of the Institution for fourteen years and was patron of the Aberdeen branch. His kindly interest, as Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeen, in the work of the life-boat stations on the Aberdeen coast, where he attended the inaugural ceremonies of the present motor life-boats at Aberdeen and Peterhead, will be very much missed.
