In addition to the following Papers, several portions of 

 the Line of Section have been presented to the Meeting by 

 W. S. Hall, H. Hall, and H. Briggs, Esqrs. The Council 

 regret that they cannot report the final completion of this 

 undertaking ; but as only a small portion remains unexecuted, 

 it is expected that the next Report will announce the termi- 

 nation of the labours of this Committee. 



In reviewing the names of the contributors of Papers, it 

 is obvious that the labourers are few in comparison with the 

 number of Members whose talents and acquirements would 

 render their assistance highly desirable ; and if others who 

 possess ample means for increasing the efficiency of the 

 Society, would make the results of their observations known
