NOTE. 



The Schedule of Premiums for A. D. 1883, being of more immedi- 

 ate interest to the members of the Society, the Committee on Publication 

 would have given it precedence. But concession had to be made to 

 the professional judgment of the printer, who insisted that the actual 

 priority of 1882 ought not to be lightly set aside. 



Care has been taken in tiie binding, so that those who wish may 

 separate the Reports from the Schedule.
