PREFACE. 
JN issuing the second volume of the Journal of Transactions 
of the Victoria Institute but few prefatory remarks are 
necessary. 
The volume will be found to contain several valuable 
Papers, not the least important amongst which is that on 
the Geometrical Isomorphism of Crystals, and the Derivation 
of all other Forms from those of the Cubical System, by the 
Rev. Walter Mitchell, M.A., V.P. 
As regards the Institute's progress during the past year, 
we need but say that it has been all that could have been 
expected, considering the short time that has elapsed since 
the foundation of the Society. 
The Editor.
