in a manner similar to that which had previously been fol- 

 lowed with respect to the Proceediogs of the Committee of 

 Science and Correspondence. 



Of the Transactions one Part has also appeared. It was 

 published in August last, and has been favourably received 

 as well by the Members of the Society as by the public. 

 The number of copies already sold is 262. Copies have 

 been presented to the libraries of many of the most important 

 scientific societies in Great Britain, on the Continent of 

 Europe, and in the United States of America ; as well as to 

 some of those situated in the more distant dependencies of 

 this country. The Memoirs contributed to the Transactions 

 by the active Zoologists of the Societj^'will consequently be 

 made extensively known. 



A second Part of the Transactions is nearly ready for 

 publication. It will appear in the middle of May. A copy 

 of it is now on the table for the inspection of the Members. 



Lectures. 

 During the early months of 1833, the Society was indebted 

 to the liberality of Dr. Grant for a course extending to about 

 foi'ty lectures on the structure and classification of animals. 

 It included a general outline of the existing state of zoolo- 

 gical knowledge, and was illustrated by specimens, and by 

 an extensive series of diagrams prepared by the Professor. 



THE GARDENS 



in the Regent's Park have maintained throughout the past 

 year their attractions, as well for the Meriibers as for the 

 public. 



The Number of Visiters 

 in 1833 amounted to 211,343; and the sum received for 

 admission was £7954 9s. , The total number of visits 

 made to the Gardens in lb3;i was 7^42 less than those of 

 1832 : the number of visits made by Members and their 

 friends in 1833 exceeded those of 1832 by 13,705.
