PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. 



By way of prelude to a brief review of the past year's history,. 

 I may remind you that the Members are regularly kept in touch 

 with the Society's work by means of the monthly Abstracts of the 

 proceedings of the Meetings, and by the issue of the Parts of the 

 Proceedings with as little delay as possible. Hence at the 

 Annual Meeting it becomes unnecessary to attempt to report in 

 detail upon many matters which, under other circumstances, it 

 would be desirable to recapitulate at some length.
