Report to the General Meeting. 
the Council cannot help alluding to the establishment of local 
societies for the discussion of agricultural subjects, which they 
feel hf^ve mainly originated from the attention which the exertions 
of this Society have attracted to the improvement of agriculture, 
and which the Council are confident will lead to the most bene- 
ficial results. 
By order of the Council, 
(Signed) JAMES HUDSON, 
Secretary.
