Conclusion. 
17. The good understanding existing between this and 
other scientific societies continues to increase, and with many 
of the leading ones at home and abroad, the Institute exchanges 
Transactions. & 
18. Finally, the future of the Victoria Institute rests in 
no small degree with its present supporters ; it is most im- 
portant that it be maintained in a state of thorough efficiency, 
and the present Members and Associates may greatly con- 
tribute thereto by introducing new supporters ; more especially 
such as may take a leading part in carrying out its objects. 
19. The Council cannot but feel thankful for the success which 
has attended the Society's exertions, and the place it occupies 
m the estimation of those best qualified to judge of its value. 
Signed on behalf of the Council, 
SHAFTESBURY, President.
