Conclusion. 



In concluding their forty-ninth Report, the Council 

 beg leave to congratulate the Members upon the success- 

 ful results of the last financial year, which, although not 

 equivalent to those of the extraordinary year 1876, show 

 in every respect favourably when contrasted with all pre- 

 vious years. 



As regards the present year, there seems, so tar as we 

 have gone at present, to be no diminution in the uiterest 

 taken by the public in the Society and its operations. 



Lastly, the Council have to acknowledge with many 

 thanks the assistance they have received from the Com- 

 mittee of Publication, and from the gentlemen \yho have 

 served upon the Committees of Finance and Audit. 



Signed (for the Council), 



P. L. SCLATER, 



Secretary.
