Report of the Proceedings of the Council in 18.54^55, as presented 

 TO the General Committee at Glasgow, Wednesday, September 

 12th, 1855. 



1. In reference to the sura of £500 placed by the General Committee at 

 Liverpool at the disposal of the Council for the maintenance of the Establish- 

 ment at Kew, the General Committee will find in the subjoined Report of 

 the Superintending Committee of that Establishment, an account of the 

 various objects which have occupied their attention, and of their proceed- 

 ings during the past year. The Council have directed printed copies of this 

 Report to be laid upon the table as the best means of enabling those mem- 

 bers of the General Committee who have not personally visited Kew, to 

 form their own judgment of the nature and value of the services which have 

 been performed there, and of the thanks which are due to the Superintend- 

 ing Committee for their voluntary and untiring labours in conducting the 

 Establishment, and to the personal staff, by whom their wishes have been 

 most zealously and effectively carried out. By the perusal of this Report the 

 Council consider also, that the General Committee will be better able to 

 judge of the claims of the Kew Establishment to the approval and to the 

 continued support of the British Association, than by any comments of their 

 own with which the Council might have accompanied the Report*.
