finances in a more permanent position, your Executive 

 decided to skip one year's publication, to curtail the 

 matter for publication, and to embody the proceedings 

 of two years in one number. That number was re- 

 cently issued and distributed to the members, and all 

 expenses in connection with the issue of this number 

 has been paid. 



You are now called upon to exercise an important 

 function, that of electing your staff of officers for the 

 management of the affairs of the Association for the 

 next twelve months. 



We desire to thank all those who have assisted us 

 to carry on tlic good work of this most useful institu- 

 tion, and w6 trust the same very generous support will 

 be given to our successors. 



Respectfully submitted, 



JAS. GADSBY, 



For Executive.
