The financial condition of the Society is quite satisfactory ; all the 

 liabilities of the year have been discharged, and there is a balance 

 in the banking account of £19 17*. lOd., while the sura of £50 still 

 remains invested in Metropolitan 2J per cent. Stock.

 forming the last half of the seventh volume, have been issued. They 

 consist of 170 pages of text, 11 plates, a portrait frontispiece, and

 of the Linnean Society, through whose kindness it has been permitted,
