 British Association (including some of the leading 

 Scientists of England and the Continent) are expected

Your Committee have met fifteen times during the 

 past year for the purpose of transacting the business of the 

 Society, and we trust that the members feel satisfied that 

 during the past five-and-twenty years some steady progress 

 has been made to advance the objects for which the 

 Society was founded, and that those who direct its 

 aflfairs have at heart the true interests of all the members. 



The Committee desire to take this opportunity of 

 thanking those members and friends who have added to 

 the interest of the meetings by contributions of Papers and 

 other communications of value, and by exhibiting at the

 Books to the Library and Slides to the Cabinet.
