At the same meeting of 8th December, it may be remembered 
that a draft Act of Incorporation was submitted and adopted. 
Circumstances have hitherto prevented this being presented to the 
Legislature, but the Council will endeavour to get it passed in the 
next session of Parliament. 
Since the commencement of the Royal Society there have been 
102 general monthly meetings, besides numerous adjournments. 
We have had 166 papers at the general meetings, and about 40 
more at the Sections. These papers represent a very fair amount 
of scientific labour, quite as much as could reasonably be expected, 
considering our circumstances and the busy lives that most of us m8 
lead. At all events our existence as a Society, and our claims to 
public support, are sufficiently justified by these results. I have 
not considered it necessary to bring together a complete list of the 
papers, as I did for the Philosophical Society, as they are all to 
be found in the successive volumes of our Transactions.
