been acquired, together with several important additions to the 
Academy's collection of tracts and pamphlets. The Government has 
deposited -^'ith the xAcademy the remainder of the collections made by 
the late topographical department of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, 
and these will now he accessible in the Library of the Academy, with 
the volumes of the same collections which we received many years 
since. 
With respect to the Irish department of the Academy's work, 
there have been printed off fifty-two pages of the Yellow Book of 
Lecan, in photography, and a large number of pages have been j^hoto- 
graphed, and are shortly to be printed off. 
Dr. Atkinson has finished his edition of Keating's U|ai bio]^- 
5^oice vol. i., text, glossary, and appendix, and it will be 
laid before the Academy at the next Meeting. 
A correspondence has taken place between His Excellency the 
Lord Lieutenant, Her Majesty's Treasury, and the Council, in reference 
to the future Housing of the Academy, after the transfer of its Museum 
to the ]S"ew Museum of Science and Art, Dublin. The Council feel 
that the best thanks of the Academy are due to His Excellency for 
so promptly and effectually intervening as to secure to the Academy 
the continued occupancy of their present house. 
The Council trust that the further question of the future relations 
of the Academy to their Museum Collections will shci-tly receive defi- 
nite solution, upon which the transfer may be speedily effected, to the 
suitable apartments prepared for the Collections in the IS'ew Museum 
Euilding.
