PEOCEEDINGS FOE 1889.

Accommodation for the Society. 



The Council do not think it necessary to cull attention at any length on the pi'esent occasion to 

 the necessity of having sooner or latei' nio'ro permanent accommodation for the work of the Society; 

 but they content themselves with diiecting your notice to thoir previous reports, where the whole 

 subject has been sufficiently emphasized. They may add that the books and pamphlets received from 

 other institutions continue to accumulate, and are now stoi'ed away in the vaults of the Parliament 

 Building, where they are necessarily inaccessible to those persons who might wish to see and consult 

 them. Their value as works of I'eferenco, howevei', is greatly impaired by the fact that the greater 

 pai't of them are still unbound. 



Affiliated Societies. 



The Council have much pleasure in extending a cordial welcome once more to a number of dele- 

 gates from the leading scientific and literary societies throughout Canada, who will be able to present 

 a summary of the important work that they have been performing in their respective spheres of 

 labour duiing the past twelve months. îv^o part of the Transactions is of greater utility than this 

 evidence of the literary and scientific progress of Canada. It will be of much value to the future 

 historian of this countiy. The following is a list of the delegates whose names have been so far
