2 Office-Bearers of tfie Society. 



Although the society does not appear, at any period of its history, 

 to have published even abstracts of its proceedings, yet several of the 

 communications read at the meetings have appeared in the scientific 

 journals of the day, or in the transactions of other philosophical socie- 

 ties. It has been suggested, during the present session, that an 

 occasional publication of notices of the papers read at the society, 

 might contribute to extend the usefulness of the institution, and 

 perhaps to elicit contributions which have hitherto been withheld from 

 the absence of a convenient medium for publication. In accordance 

 with this view, the present sheet is now printed.
