1. Scientific Meetings. 



To the thirteen meetings for the despatch of scientific 

 business held in the Society's Rooms in Hanover Square, 

 in 1888, 101 communications were made. Of these, 80 

 were from Fellows and 3 from Corresponding Members 

 of the Society. The remaining 18 papers were from 

 individuals not belonging to the Society, and were com- 

 municated to it by the Secretary or by other Members. 

 The corresponding number of communications in the 

 year 1887 was 133. 



These communications were submitted to the Committee 

 of Publication, by whom 75 were ordered to be printed 

 entire in the ' Proceedings ' of the Society, such illustra- 

 tions being in each case allowed as the Committee con- 

 sidered necessary for the purpose. Of the remaining 

 communications, abstracts or extracts were considered to 

 be sufficient for publication.
