The publication of this volume is somewhat later than 
the Committee had wished, but, on the other hand, more 
has been done than they at first contemplated. Instead 
of about one hundred pages, the materials have sufficed 
for nearly three times that number. The illustrations, 
too, have been multiplied in the same proportion. It 
will be seen that a change, rendered necessary by circum- 
stances, has been made in some of the subjects ; certain 
papers announced for publication at the general meetings 
have been deferred for a future volume, and others sub- 
stituted for them. , E 
The Committee, as a body, are not responsible for the 
striet accuracy of the papers they have selected for pub- 
lication, nor for the particular opinions and views of the 
authors. They trust, however, that, on the whole, they 
will be found to contain enough valuable matter to redeem 
any imperfections, and to give the volume a place in our 
local literature.
