Conclusion. 
In concluding their Report, the Council have to express 
their acknowledgments to the Fellows who have served 
on the Committee of Publication, the Committee of Au- 
ditors, and the Committee of Finance, during the past year, 
from whose services, respectively, they have derived much 
assistance in conducting the business of the Society. And 
finally they cannot refrain from congratulating the Society 
on the marked increase of the prosperity of its affairs 
which has taken place within the last few years, and which 
seems likely to be continuous. With regard to the present 
year, it cannot be expected that anything like rivalry with 
the extraordinary circumstances of the year of the Interna- 
tional Exhibition can be maintained. But the increase in 
the number of Candidates for the Fellowship, and the 
large number of visitors to the Gardens, during the pre- 
sent season, shows that the interest taken by the public 
in the Society is undiminished, and gives promise of a 
very favourable state of the Society’s affairs at the close of 
the year. a 
Signed for the Council,
