The sum of $50 was appropriated by the Society for the purpose of paying 

 premiums to exhibitors— at the discretion of the committee. 



The number of articles presented is so large in comparison with the appro- 

 priation, that it has been d'fBcult for the Committee to make the awards in 

 such way as to do no injustice to individuals. 



We have endeavored to award the premiums to those presenting the most 

 worthy collections ; but in doing so we have necessarily excluded many articles 

 deserving of consideration. The awards are as follows.-
