Believing that it would tend to increase the usefulness of the 

 Society, the Committee recommend that the name of the Society 

 be changed and other alterations in the rules made, and at a special 

 general meeting to be held on the 17th of June resolutions to that 

 effect will be proposed. 



The Committee have again to record their thanks to the 

 Government Departments of the United States and the Smith- 

 sonian Institute for their great and continued liberality in for- 

 warding valuable reports and other papers. 



The thanks of the Society are due to those gentlemen who 

 have read papers, exhibited objects, or presented books to the 

 Society, and in concluding their report your Committee would 

 urge upon each member to endeavour to promote the welfare of 

 the Society by bringing its merits under the notice of his friends.
