fitting memorial of one distinguished alike for his ability and 

 industry. 



The membership of the Society consists at the present time of 

 11 Hon. Fellows, 75 Fellows, 16 Corresponding Members, and 1 

 Associate. 



Three new exchanges with learned Societies have been made, 

 namely, the Stavanger Museum, Norway ; the Annuaire Geolo- 

 gique, Paris ; and the Societe des Sciences Naturelles de I'Ouest 

 de France, Nantes. 



It has been noticed with satisfaction that Baron v. ^Mueller has 

 decided to publish additional and supplementary volumes to the 

 classical " Flora Australiensis." 



Since the last annual meeting it has been decided to liave two 

 Hon. Secretaries instead of one, so that more attention might be 

 given to the arrangement and care of the many valuable serial 

 publications which the Society is constantly receiving from all 

 parts of the world. For this purpose a slight verbal alteration 

 of some of the rules was rendered necessary, and duly carried 

 out at a general meeting. The date fixed for the election of an 

 Auditor was also altered. 



The statement of receipts and expenditure shows that the 

 publication item has been extremely heavy during the past year.
