4. Copies of Transactions sent to the King. 



The distribution of volume 7 was carried out in the usual way, and 

 copies of volumes 6 and 7 handsomely bound were sent, through His 

 Excellency the Governor-General, to the King, and His Majesty was 

 graciously pleased to accept them. 



5. jSTeed of a Home. 



The society is sadly in need of a fixed home where the volumes 

 of Transactions may be accessible and where its papers may be kept. 

 The exchanges and books from kindred so'cieties noAv fill fifty-two cases, 

 and are absolutely inaccessible, being stored away in a warehouse on 

 Queen street. The volumes of Transactions are mainly in Montreal. 

 They are in cases and, as a precaution in case of fire, are divided 

 between two warehouses. The number of volumes so stored is given 

 in the statement below. The totals are given. Some are in sheets, 

 some are sewed and some are bound. The volumes in sheets are bound 

 as required. A few volumes on hand are half bound in morocco.
