In judging of the results obtained from the grants, it must be borne 

 in mind that scientific investigations cannot always be hiu-riecl, and 

 that they "svill in some cases lead to merely negative conclusions. 



Thi'ee of the gi-ants, Xos. 38, 39, and 40, -were given only twelve 

 months since, and it is yet too soon to expect Eeports. The results 

 of Xo 39, however, it is hoped, will be laid before the Academy 

 duiTng the present Session. 



* A grant of £40 was also made to P. S. Abraham, B. A., for Eeport On Deep Sea 

 Dredgiag off Madeira; but this grant was, owing to Mr. Abraham's illness, re- 

 turned at once and revoted.
