PREFACE. 



THE present volume may be regarded as the complement of the 

 ' Year-book ' published a few months ago. The information con- 

 tained in the ' Year-book ' is liable to change, and it is proposed to 

 issue a fresh edition of this every year as soon after the Anni- 

 versary Meeting as possible. The present volume, which we have 

 called ' The Kecord,' contains information, largely historical, such 

 as will not need more than slight additions from time to time ; it 

 is proposed to issue a new edition of this every few years, accord- 

 ing as it may be found desirable. 



We very gladly take this opportunity of acknowledging the 

 very great assistance given to us in the preparation both of this 

 volume and of the ' Year-book ' by Mr. H. Eix, the late Assistant- 

 Secretary of the Society.
