PEEFACE. 



The publication of Volume XIII. has been unavoidably- 

 delayed so long mainly with the idea of printing two 

 years' transactions in one volume. It has, however, been 

 thought better to issue each year's transactions separately. 

 Volume XIV. will be ready in a month or two, and in 

 future each year's transactions will be prepared for issue, 

 at the following Annual Meeting.
