Report of the Council for 1866. 
In accordance with the Bye-Laws the Council begs to present the following 
Report :— 
Perhaps the most important event in the history of the Society during the past 
year has been the removal of our Meetings to Burlington House. Other scientific 
bodies were desirous of obtaining like privileges to those granted to us by the Linnean 
Society, but the Council was fortunately able to make arrangements compatible with 
the retention of our usual day of meeting, the first Monday of the month. It is hoped 
that the inconvenience necessarily caused by any change of locality to some of our 
Members will be compensated by greater convenience to others; the unquestionable 
superiority of the present over our late gathering piace, and the diminution of our 
rental in Bedford Row, are material advantages gained; the Society has returned to 
the locality in which it flourished during the first eighteen or nineteen years of its 
existence; and additional prestige will attach to us as a body from assembling within 
these walls, the scientific centre of London.
