by the payments made, some years since, for the liquidation of the 
expenditure of former years. All bills for printing, &c., have been 
discharged up to the present date. There are no outstanding lia- 
bilities; and the Council trust that, by the exercise of a judicious 
economy, satisfactory provision may be made for the immediate publi- 
cation of all papers of literary or scientific interest.

The following Supplement to the Report was laid on the table, and 
ordered by the Council to be printed. 
The following list of Antiquities purchased from the 16th of March, 
1858, to the 16th of March, 1859, was supplied by W. R. Wilde, Esq., 
in accordance with a Resolution of the Committee of Antiquities, adopted 
at the recommendation of the Council, to the effect that a descriptive 
list of donations and purchases, together with the articles themselves, 
and the cost thereof, should be laid before the Academy every quarter. 
The articles are arranged according to the classification adopted in 
the Catalogue, and numbered in continuation of the different species in 
the printed Catalogue, or the manuscript registration. Mr. Wilde begs 
to add, that if this mode of registering the purchases and donations be 
persevered in, it will in future serve as a continuation of the Catalogue, 
and save the Academy much expense.
