The council congratulates the Royal Society on its proposed 
meeting in Toronto, the first which it has held in the west, and trusts 
that the welcome which it will receive will induce it to repeat its 
visits frequently. 
During the past year two ordinary and six associate members 
have been added to the roll, and nineteen by death and resignation 
have been removed, so that the total number is now 204. 
The report of the treasurer is appended, and the Council expresses 
its gratification at its satisfactory character. The very careful man- 
ner in which the treasurer has administered the funds of the Institute, 
has been confirmed by the auditors after an exact audit. 
During the past year, No. 13, Vol. 7, of the Transactions was 
published. It contains a number of valuable papers, the illustrations 
of which were engraved at considerable cost in London and Boston. 
The greater portion of the next part is now in the hands of the 
printer, and will be ready at an early date. 
The council have again to bear testimony to the attention and 
regularity of the assistant secretary, Miss Logan.
