REPORT OF COUNCIL. 
In presenting its Twenty-fifth Annual Report your Council is 
pleased that the Society is in such a favourable position on the attain¬ 
ment of its Semi-Jubilee, and trusts that the members will increase 
their interest in and endeavour to extend the influence of the Society 
in every way, so that the future may be as successful as the past has 
been. The Council regrets that Dr. Buchanan White cannot in the 
meantime allow himself to accept of re-election to the presidentship, 
but takes this opportunity of recording its thanks to him for the 
valuable services he has rendered during the thirteen years he has 
presided over the Society with such ability and tact, and rejoices that, 
as he is still a member of Council, it will profit by his advice and 
experience. The Council congratulates the Society on obtaining for 
the office of President Mr. Henry Coates, who has taken so much 
interest in the Society for some time past, and who will, it feels 
assured, discharge the duties with honour to the Society and with 
credit to himself. During the past year 6 meetings have been held.
