The best thanks of the Society are due to all those who, 

 either at home or abroad, have so kindly and liberally presented 

 books to the Library or plants or seeds to the Gardens. A list of 

 the donors has been prepared, and will appear in the next number 

 of the Journal. The Council also wish to express, in their own 

 name and in that of all Fellows of the Society, their great 

 indebtedness to all who have so kindly contributed, either by the 

 exhibition of plants, fruits, flowers, or vegetables, or by the reading 

 of papers, to the success of the Conferences and fortnightly Meet- 

 ings. Special thanks are due to those who so kindly contributed 

 Conifer specimens for the Conference in October.
