  Prof. 
  Hughes 
  called 
  the 
  attention 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  to 
  the 
  work 
  

   being 
  done 
  by 
  the 
  Swiss 
  Pal&ontographical 
  Society. 
  He 
  pointed 
  

   out 
  that, 
  the 
  Swiss 
  being 
  a 
  small 
  nation 
  and 
  their 
  scientific 
  men 
  

   proportionately 
  few 
  in 
  number, 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  very 
  spirited 
  thing 
  of 
  them 
  

   to 
  keep 
  up 
  the 
  regular 
  publication 
  of 
  a 
  scries 
  of 
  exhaustive 
  treatises 
  

   on 
  the 
  plan 
  of 
  our 
  own 
  Palseontographical 
  Memoirs. 
  Those 
  en- 
  

   gaged 
  in 
  paheontological 
  work 
  knew 
  well 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  these 
  publi- 
  

   cations, 
  and 
  could 
  appreciate 
  the 
  labour 
  and 
  care 
  necessary 
  to 
  keep 
  

   going 
  such 
  a 
  large 
  undertaking. 
  He 
  felt 
  sure 
  that 
  much 
  more 
  

   support 
  could, 
  and 
  would, 
  be 
  offered 
  to 
  our 
  Swiss 
  fellow 
  labourers
