I must also mentiou, with the thanks of the Council to the 

 respective authors, the independent valuable contributions to our 

 Transactioi.is mentioned in the foUov^ing list of papers read during 

 the last session. But, whilst so doing, I must not forget to 

 tender also our united acknowledgments to the Grovernment, for 

 the acceptable aid they have rendered us in undertaking the 

 printing of the volume for 1872, which has relieved our Treasurer 

 of some anxiety, and given us fresh encouragement to persevere 

 in our otherwise unassisted work.
