Diu'ing the past year, the Society has elected one Honor- 

 ary Member, eight CoiTesponding Members and 76 Resident 

 Members. Of these latter, 21 have not yet ratified their 

 election by the paj-ment of the admission fee, and six others, 

 who have paid, have not fully complied with the regulations 

 for membership by signing the Constitution. 



As the Society has not pubhshed an}i:hing during the 

 past year, of com-se little has been done in the distribution 

 of our pubhcations abroad. We sent, however, early in the 

 year, the last number of our Journal and nine sheets of our 

 Proceedings to 212 different Societies and Periodicals, 

 which, in addition to a few special gifts, makes the whole 

 number given in exchange to be equivalent to 55 volumes of 

 our Journal and 121 of our Proceedings. 



Besides this, 171 parts of the Journal, equivalent to about 

 43 volumes, and. 18 volumes of the Proceedings have been 

 sold, and 8180.80 reahzed from that source. 



The Council has, however, recently authorized the Pub- 

 Hshing Committee to print the remainder of the ninth vol- 

 ume of the Proceedings ; this is now printed, and will be 

 issued in a few days. They were also du'ected to reprint a 

 sin2:le signature of Yol. IT. of the Proceedings, the edition 

 of which had been exhausted, which has been done, and 

 copies of Yol. II. may now be obtained.
