228 NOTES ON THE PUBLICATIONS. 



Though the title indicated that the Journal was to include 

 the Annual Report, the latter was paged and published 

 separately from the Papers and Proceedings. The new 

 title was in use for six, or, if we include 1875, for seven 

 years only, being perhaps too cumbersome; the words 

 ''and Report" were omitted in 1882, and the pubication 

 now became — 



" Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of 

 Tasmania," 



a title which has been retained ever since. Strictly speak- 

 ing the title ought to be " Papers and Proceedings of the 

 Royal Society of Tasmania, New Series," because we 

 have seen that as far back as 1859 a volume was pub- 

 lished under this title. 



From 1882 to 1885 the Annual Report was bound 

 with the Papers and Proceedings, though paged sepa- 

 rately; from 1886 to 1889 inclusive it was published sepa- 

 rately, and not issued together with the Papers and 

 Proceedings; in 1890 and 1891 it was again issued with 

 the Papers and Proceedings; while in 1892 it was again 

 published separately. No Annual Reports were issued 

 for the years 1893 to 1907 inclusive; but since 1908 the 

 practice of publishing an Annual Report, bound with the 

 Papers and Proceedings, though separately paged, has 

 again been taken up. 



Since 1894 and up to 1908 the publication of the 

 Papers and Proceedings became somewhat erratic. In- 

 stead of annual volumes, one volume only was issued 

 for the years 1894-95, 1898-99, 1900-01, 1903-05, 1906-07. 

 The total number of volumes published by the Royal 

 Society since 1863 up to 1909 inclusive is therefore 42,. 

 instead of 47, viz. : — 



1876-1881 — Papers and Proceedings and Report of 

 the Royal Society of Tasmania (Annual Report paged 

 separately). 



1 882- 1 909 — Papers and Proceedings of the Royal 

 Society of Tasmania. 



Annual Report, 1882-85, bound with Papers and Pro- 

 ceedings, but paged separately. 



Annual Report, 1886-89, issued separately.
