 of Members and other gentlemen.

And the Committee would avail themselves of this op- 

 portunity of thanking those gentlemen who have presented 

 Books, and the Serial Scientific Literature of the day, to the 

 Library, for what are valued as important acquisitions to the 

 educational advantages of the Club. 



The Excursions of the Club still maintain the interest 

 which has attended them from their institution, while a more 

 than usually agreeable character has been imparted to them 

 by the blending together of the Members of the suburban 

 Societies with those of the Club upon these occasions.
