126 Election of Office-Hearers and Members of Council. [Feb. 



The Government of Madras have I'ecently issued an interesting 

 " Monograph on the Cocoanut Palm (Gocos nucifera)," by Dr. J. Short. 



This review, brief and incomplete as it is, has, I fear, far exceeded 

 the ordinary limits of an Annual address, but will, T trust, be sufficient to 

 show that the ' record of work done,' in India, during the past year has 

 been a remarkably good one and fruitful in subjects of interest and 

 importance. 



The President announced that the Scrutineers reported the result 

 of the election of Office-Bearers and Members of Council to be as fol-
