A list of the presents continued from the 2d volume of the 
Society’s Transactions will be published in the 3d volume. 
The Council are happy to announce that, according tothe 
arrangements they have made, the 3d volume of the Geological 
Transactions will appear in the course of the present session. It 
will contribute, they hope, to direct the attention of the public 
to the rational and useful researches that form the subject of its 
pages, and to support the reputation which the Society has ac- 
quired by the publication of its former volumes. The papers sub- 
mitted to the public in this volume will show that the authors 
have continued to act upon the principle of avoiding the dis- 
cussion of theories which are too systematic and extensive, and 
of treating geology principally as a science of observation. 
The exertions of Mr. Greenough to complete the Geological 
Map of England have been incessant, and a great part of the 
work is now engraved, 
The Council report with the utmost regret that the President 
has expressed his wish of not continuing in the chair beyond the 
period for which he originally undértook that office, and which 
terminates upon the present anniversary. The assurances of the 
deep sense of the honour conferred upon him, with which he has 
accompanied the expression of his wish, will be thought super- 
fluous by those who haye witnessed his conduct during the time 
he has filled the situation, and his unremitting endeavours to 
promote the interests of the Socicty. 
The junior secretary, finding the time occupied by his official 
duties incompatible with the claims of other engagements of 
considerable importance to himself, begs leave to withdraw him-
