 was held to-day, — tlie President in the chair. 



The Executive Committee, in accordance with the duty enjoined on them, 

 recommended that the sum of twe/ce hum/red and Jifly dollars be ajjjiropria- 

 ted by the ^Society, for premiums for the year 1849, — and that the income 

 derived from the Appleton, Lowell, Lyman, and Bradlee funds consti- 

 tute a part of ihe amount, - and that the apportionment to the several com- 

 mittees, be the same as for the present year.

 given as premiums or gratuities, for such objects as are worthy of distinc- 

 tion, and not provided for in the prize list.
