The Proceedings of the Academy have been published during 
the past year with great regularity: and the thanks of the Academy 
are due to Mr. Jellett, who has so zealously and efficiently under- 
taken the task of putting them through the Press. 
It was represented to the Council, that the stringency of a rule 
hitherto in force was practically inconvenient to Members desirous 
of reading Papers to the Academy. This rule required an ab- 
stract of every Paper, in a form fitted for publication, to be lodged 
with the Editor of the Proceedings, before the leave of the Council 
for reading such Paper to the Academy could be obtained. It 
was found, however, that the Authors of Papers were frequently 
desirous of obtaining the leave of the Council, before they had so 
far written out their Papers as to be able to put an accurate abstract 
of what they intended to say in a shape fit for publication. It was, 
therefore, deemed advisable to modify this rule, and the Academy, 
on the recommendation of Council, adopted the following Resolu- 
tion on the 10th of January last :— 
‘** That leave be given to read Papers of which the general na- 
ture shall have been approved by Council; but that, unless an ab- 
stract of a Paper shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Council, 
on or before the night of reading, the title only of it shall be pub- 
lished in the Proceedings of the Academy.”
