PREFACE. 



TN the preparation of this Volume of the Journal of 

 Transactions, I have to express my acknowledgments 

 to the Authors of the papers for the pains they have taken 

 to render the published matter as free from inaccuracies as 

 possible. I would also esteem it a favour if Members and 

 Associates would not only send communications on subjects 

 they think interesting and suitable for bringing before the 

 Institute, but also suggest titles of such subjects, and the 

 names of persons they consider qualified to deal with them. 



Edward Hull, 



Secretary and Editor.
