REPORT OF COUNCIL, 



AT THE 



CLOSE OP THE SIXTH SESSION, 



Your Council have the satisfaction of meeting the Society 

 at the termination of its Sixth Session, under circumstances 

 not less auspicious than those which have excited your 

 congratulations on former anniversaries. 



Without detaining you by any lengthened introduction, 

 they proceed to report the occurrences which have transpired 

 in the history of your Society since their appointment. 



A number of gentlemen having signified their disposition 

 to be enrolled amongst you, it was deemed advisable, pre- 

 vious to the expiration of the last recess, to summon a 

 special General Meeting, for the nomination of new mem- 

 bers, in order that such might be admitted to the privi- 

 leges of the institution as early as possible, after the com- 

 mencement of the business of the session. At that meeting 

 eleven individuals were proposed Ordinary Members, who 

 were afterwards duly elected. The total number of addi- 

 tional Ordinary Members balloted for in the course of the 

 session is eighteen, and of Proprietary, three.
