At the Annual Meeting of the Members, held on the 5th of 
April, and adjourned to the 7th of June, 1883, it was resolved — 
" That the Society should be incorporated under the provisions of 
30 and 31 Vie, cap. 131, sec. 23," and a committee was appointed 
to apply to the Board of Trade for the necessary licence. The 
committee has taken all the necessary steps, and on the completion 
of certain formalities, this important advance in the history of 
the Institution will have been completed. 
During the past year much attention has been devoted by the 
Curators to the arrangement and display of the collections in their 
various departments, and the Museum now presents a systematic 
appearance.
