II EOYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA. 



some of the MSS. were sent in June. In Section IV, the list and some of the MSS. were sent in June. 



"Your Comraittee at its meeting on Oct. 4th found that all the MSS. for which any authority 

 existed to print were in the printer's hands and nearly all in type. They found also that a large 

 number of MSS., which had been re2)orted for publication, had not been received. A circular was 

 then sent to authors of papers directing their attention to the rule of the Society and to the necessity 

 for immediate transmission of papers. In response to this, the missing papers began to come in — 

 the last of them ai-riving on Dec. 3rd. 



"It happened, however, that some of the papers which were late were very difficult to print, and 

 that one of them had to be ia the hands of the iirinter before beginning Section IV. Much 

 inconvenience arose from this cause. 



"The Committee trust that no similar hindrances will be placed in the way of the issue of the 

 next volume, and that the Society will authorize its Committee to postpone all papers delayed beyond- 

 the proper time, whatever excuse may be offered. 



"The accounts are submitted herewith. 



"Copies of the volume have been sent to Ottawa for the use of tlie members of the Society, 



"The Committee have to express its obligations to Mr. S. E. Dawson for his caie and attention 

 in the matter of collecting MSS. and superintending the printing, ami also to Mr. Boodle for the care 

 bestowed upon some unusually diificult paj)ers. 



" All of which is respectfully submitted. 



"J. W. DAW.SON, 



"Acting Chairman."
