 the scientific aifairs of South Africa will continue to increase.

 issued on June 12, 1902. 



The Treasurer's statement is appended. From this it will be seen

 books are now kept. The Librarian has prepared a list of societies 

 who do not exchange publications with this Society. He has also 

 prepared a list of the chief gaps in the various transactions and pro- 

 ceedings in the possession of the Society.
