 " Tidal Survey, will now, after twenty-one years, be crowned with com-

 Survey. 



The committee has the great satisfaction of announcing that the 

 society has now fully attained this object, and that a vote was passed 

 by Parliament last year for the sum of $264,500, to be applied in 

 providing one steamer for the Atlantic Coast (additional to that for

The committee having thus fulfilled its duty, it hopes to the con- 

 tentment of the society, asks to be discharged.
