The amount of all gratuities granted by the Societies is in- 

 cluded in the sum total of premiums awarded. In addition 

 to the above aggregates, many of the Societies awarded agri- 

 cultural books, medals, and plate. Of the value of these last 

 no return has been made. Owing to the great variety of 

 forms in which the different Societies make up their annual 

 statement, it is impossible to make the foregoing abstract per- 

 fectly accurate. It is near enough, however, to make the 

 general results sufficiently reliable.
