The PRESIDENT then addressed the Society as follows : 



GENTLEMEN, 



IN my last year's Address I informed you of the steps which had been 

 taken, with the approval of the Council, to obtain the concurrence of Her 

 Majesty's Government in the printing and publication of the Catalogue of 

 the Titles of the Scientific Memoirs contained in Scientific Periodicals in 

 all languages, from the commencement of the present century to the end 

 of 1863, the manuscript of which had been prepared under the direction 

 and superintendence of the President and Council, and the cost defrayed 

 from the funds of the Society. Her Majesty's Government having been 

 pleased to accede to the proposition that had been then made to them, 

 the Serial Catalogue, as originally proposed for the Society's Library, is 

 now in progress of rearrangement in alphabetical order according to author's 

 names, to be followed by an alphabetical Index according to subjects. 

 The preliminary questions regarding the type, and'the form and size of the 

 pages, having been discussed and agreed upon with the authorities of the 

 Stationery Office, the first portion of the manuscript, containing the titles 

 of all memoirs having the letter A as the first letter of the author's name, 

 has been prepared, and is now placed in the printer's hands, so that the 

 printing may be forthwith commenced. 



In the meantime the endeavours to render the work more complete 

 have not been relaxed ; the number of titles, which in my last year's 

 Address was stated to exceed 180,000, has been since extended to 213,000 ; 

 and will continue to be augmented whilst the printing is in progress. It is 

 proposed that all titles which should not be in time to be entered under 

 their respective alphabetical heads shall be included in a supplementary
