THE COUNCIL'S EEPORT. 



In presenting the Fifty-Third Report of the Eoyal Institution 

 of Cornwall to the Annual Meeting, your Council feel assured 

 that you will be gratified to hear that they meet you to-day with 

 the conviction that at no previous date has the Institution shown 

 clearer signs of healthy progress than during the past year. 



The Specimens in your Museum are increasing beyond the 

 means of displaying them adequately, though there have been 

 particular years in Avhich more valuable additions have been made. 



The Spring Meeting was of a genial and animated character, 

 and many valuable papers were contributed. 



The two days' Excursion to Tintagel was joined in by about 

 70 ladies and gentlemen, being as many as accommodation could 

 have been provided for iu the district, and was both enjoyable 

 and instructive.
