REPORT, rr 
The steady progress of the Institute in every way, and the 
increasing number of those in the highest walks of Science 
who are taking part in its work—the greater such sup- 
port the greater will be the value of the work done—and the 
ever-increasing esteem in which its Transactions are held, 
afford much cause for thankfulness, and give rise to an earnest 
hope that it may ever accomplish its work Ad Majorem Dei 
rloriam.
