6. Languages .—The classes for the study of French and German have 
been more numerously attended than in former years. 
7. Surveying and Practical Astronomy .—The Instructor reports that, in 
addition to the Artillery Officers who have worked with him, some of the 
Officers of the Staff College, attached to this Garrison for instruction, have 
qualified themselves in the use of the Sextant and Transit, and have made 
considerable progress in Practical Astronomy. 
8. Photography .—Many improvements have been made in the Photo¬ 
graphic Department; and, by sanction of the Committee, the Serj.-Major in 
charge is allowed to devote certain hours during two days of the week, to 
take likenesses of Members and their friends. A plan is also formed for 
affording to Officers the opportunity, during the summer months, of taking 
Photographic pictures in the country. 
9. Chemistry .—By an arrangement which will work advantageously for 
the Members of the Institution, the Officers engaged under the Director of 
Artillery Studies will practice chemistry in the excellent working Laboratory 
of the building. Mr Bloxam has expressed his readiness to superintend and 
direct, without additional fee, the investigations of other Officers, not belong¬ 
ing to the Special Class, who may wish to study during the same hours.
