Fund, who may desire it, be elected life Members of 

 the Institution^ subject however to the conditions 

 imposed by the 9th Rule. 



In accordance with the recommendation of the 

 Report of the last Annual Meeting of the Society, a 

 Bazaar in' aid of the General Funds was held on the 

 loth and 11th of September last, and though the 

 sanguine expectations of some of its promoters were 

 not fully realized, your Council sees no reason to be 

 disappointed with the result, as the proceeds, after 

 paying all incidental expenses, amounted to c£ll2 I7s. 



The Council feels sure the Members generally will 

 not fail to recognise the obligation the Society is 

 under to the Lady Patronesses, and to those ladies 

 who so kindly exerted themselves in organising and 

 promoting the Bazaar. 



The Council has to acknowledge the receipt of 

 many valuable donations during the past year ; 

 amongst those most worthy of notice, may be men- 

 tioned a collection of important geological works, 

 presented by her Majesty's Government through the 

 medium of Sir R. Murchison, and a valuable Cabinet 

 of Fossils by Richard Ripley, Esq.
