Having thus reviewed the usual topics which are presented 

 in their Annual Reports, the Council have now only to record 

 once more their thanks for the valuable assistance derived from 

 the Committees of Audit, Finance, and Publication; and 

 to remark in conclusion, that the result of the administration 

 of the Society's affairs during the five years which terminated 

 on 31st December 1851, has been to secure to the Society an 

 increase of £1843 in their funded Capital, the investment of 

 £7242 17s. lid. in permanent Building, an enormous in- 

 crease in the value of the Living Collection, and the enjoy- 

 ment of an Income, which, after making every allowance for 

 the extraordinary circumstances of the past year, presents an 

 almost certain prospect of continued and sufficient prosperity.
