PROCEEDING 



The general result is shewn by the annexed statement of 

 Assets and Liabilities, from which it will be seen that the 

 net balance to the credit of the Society at the close of the 

 year was $333.92. 



This appears to be as satisfactory a position as could have 

 been anticipated, bnt it must be borne in mind that it results 

 from the fact that the Society, while it has received the 

 subscriptions for the entire year, has only issued one number 

 of the Journal, instead of the two numbers, which it is pro- 

 posed to issue yearly in future. 



The cost of the publication of the number of the Journal 

 for July did not much fall short of §400 ; and though the 

 cost of the subsequent numbers is likely to be less consider- 

 able, the publication of the two numbers mnst be expected 

 to absorb a very considerable proportion of the income of 

 the Society, which does not appear likely much to exceed 

 §900 a year.
