COMMITTEES OF AUDIT, FINANCE AND PUB- 

 LICATION. 



The Council cannot conclude this Report without bearing 

 testimony to the assiduity and zeal with which the different 

 standing Committees have respectively discharged their ar- 

 duous and important duties during the past season. To 

 the Committees of Audit and Finance their best thanks are 

 due for the time and attention they have devoted to the ac- 

 counts of the Society ; and to the Committee of Publica- 

 tion, the natural guardians of our scientific reputation, for 

 the zeal and ability which they have displayed in the unos- 

 tentatious, but most important office, of superintending 

 and editing the scientific publications of the Society.
