amongst the papers communicated to the Council, many have 

 either been forestalled in some of the periodicals, or are of too 

 little importance to be printed in the Transactions. In order, how- 

 ever, that nothing really useful, though relating only to minor 

 points, may remain unpublished, after being communicated for the 

 purpose, the Council commenced from the 1st of May, 1838, to 

 print abstracts of the proceedings of the Society in an 8vo. form, 

 analogous to those lately commenced by other scientific bodies. In 

 these proceedings all papers, either short or of minor importance, 

 are inserted or abstracted ; and such only as it is thought ad- 

 visable to give at length are reserved for the Transactions, in 

 which are also printed the reports on experiments and obser- 

 vations made in the Garden. The papers of the latter descrip- 

 tion, published since 1830, are —
