ELEVENTH REPORT. 



The Eleventh year of this Institution having 

 passed away, the Council are happy to report, 

 that on this occasion, as at former Anniver- 

 saries, there is room for congratulation. They 

 cannot state that much has been done in the 

 course of the year; yet, while the Society has 

 displayed less energy than at some former 

 periods, its power has not been exhausted, 

 nor its progress checked. 



It is gratifying to notice a steady improve- 

 ment in the funds of the Institution. Soon 

 after last Anniversary, the sura of £J20, 

 borrowed in 1830, was paid off; but, to 

 accomplish this, it was necessary to contract 

 a new debt of £40. This last sum, it is 

 hoped, will be nearly made up, when the 

 subscriptions for the ensuing year are col- 

 lected. Freed from such incumbrances, the 

 Society will be able to improve the Museum, 

 by the addition of new glass cases, for want 

 of which, a more correct arrangement of the 

 Fossils, and other contents of the Museum, 

 has long been deferred, - ^^ - -^
