REPORT OF SOCIETY’S MEETINGS. 2I 
the Governor and arrange for a meeting of the Institute 
Committee. 
Revd. W. B. Ritchie said that when at home last 
year he had spent some time in different Museums and 
took especial care to note whether British Guiana was 
well represented. In the Scottish Industrial Exhibition, 
and even the British Museum, the colony was very poorly 
shown, and he was of opinion that something better 
should be done at the Imperial Institute. 
The Secretary was direéted to thank Mr. Ohlson 
for his letter and state that the matter would receive 
attention. 
The thanks of the Society were presented to His 
Honor N. Atkinson for a copy of Bryant’s Account of 
the Slave Insurreétion on the East Coast in 1823. 
Mr. Vyle suggested that fuller intimation of the business 
of the general meetings should be published in the news- 
papers, as it might have the effeét of drawing together 
larger meetings. 
The President stated that the matter was conneéted 
with the cost of advertisements, and the Secretary stated 
the full agenda could not always be known until the day 
of meeting. 
Mr. Vyle said the papers were always glad to get 
paragraphs, which need not cost anything, and the Presi- 
dent said they would sce if Mr. Vyle’s suggestion could 
be carried out. 
The meeting then terminated,
