for the purpose of carrying out similar work in the 
United States. Those of our Members who have joined the 
American Society state that they shall not retire from us, but 
will urge that their new members should join the Victoria 
Institute also; and in return they ask that some of the 
members of the Victoria Institute should, even for a while, 
join their Society, so that it may the sooner be able to carry 
out its labours successfully. 
3. We last year referred to the adherence to the Victoria 
Institute of many scientific men of note, and this year 
others, including Professor L. Pasteur, have joined. The 
Institute's efficiency and the respect in which its transactions 
are held by the general public, cannot but be enhanced by all 
members interesting themselves in increasing the number of 
such supporters.
