The Hon. Secretary.— I have to mention that since the 1st of January , 
the Institute has increased by 101 members. (Cheers.) Certamly m the 
year 1872 we gained 109, but, by the kind assistance of our members and 
associates, we may before the 31st secure the few required to make this 
year’s equal last year’s progress. I'have to add that Part VIIi., which has 
been wanting since the year 1867 (it could not be completed on account ot 
the Rev. W. Mitchell’s illness), has now been issued, and every member to 
whom a copy was due has received it ; and all wishing to complete 
their series of the Transactions can now do so. I have also to state that, m 
consequence of strong representations, the Council have lately decided to 
publish a translation of Professor Huber’s reply to Strauss’s last book. . ihe 
work it is intended to be a reply to has already reached the third edition ot 
its English translation, and it is full time that a reply were publisned.
