100 JOURNAL OF THE TRINIDAD 



Mr. Devenish proposed and Colonel Wilson seconded the 

 adoption of the Report. — Carried. The Secretary presented the 

 Publication Committee's report which is appended. 



PUBLICATION COMMITTEES REPORT. 



IN accordance with Rule 29 the Publication Committee have 

 the honour to present their Report for the year ending 31st 

 July, 1894.— 



At the last Annual meeting Dr. Rake was appointed a 

 member of the Committee in the place of Mr. Urich, who became 

 ex-officio a member when he was elected Hon. Secretary of the 

 Club. Otherwise there has been no change in the constitution 

 of the Coimnitee. 



The Committee have dining the year issued six numbers of 

 the Journal, containing 178 pages of reports of proceedings 

 and papers — an increase of 51 pages upon the number 

 of last year. The reports arc still up to date, but the 

 Committee regret to have to announce a still greater arrears 

 of Club papers, of which no less than 11 are awaiting publication. 

 During the past twelve months fifteen original papers have been 

 printed in addition to the report of the Annual Meeting which 

 occupied no less than 22 pages, and several articles published 

 elsewhere have been also accorded a place in the Journal. The 

 Committee do not at present see their way to bring the publication 

 of all the papers now on their hands up to date for some time to 

 come. Probably when the Mammal Collection has been com- 

 pleted the Club may be able to make an effort to clear up the 

 arrears which are now slowly but surely accumulating. 



The Committee congratulates the Club upon the completion 

 of the first Volume of the Journal last February. The new series, 

 the Committee believes, to be an improvement upon the first one 

 and it trusts that the second volume, which will probably be 

 concluded in February 1896, will redound with as much credit to 

 the Club as did Volume I. 



The Committee have again to thank the Editors of the Press 

 for the liberality with which they threw open their columns to 

 the reports of Club Meetings. 



The Committee appends for the information of the Club a 

 list of the papers awaiting publication, their authors and the 

 dates on which they were read or laid on the table. 



(Signed on behalf of the Committee). 



H. CARACCIOLO, 



President.
