Abstract of Annual Report. One special and nine ordinary meetings have been held. At the ordinary meetings fifteen papers have been read; these papers were contributed by nine authors, and comprise six on Zoology, and two on Geology, while the rest have been on miscellaneous subjects of more immediate practical interest. A large number of books, including a complete set of the publications of the Ray Society, have been added to the Library of the Institute by purchase, and several valuable donations have been received. Five new members have joined during the year, but several have left, so that the total number of members now on the list is 149. Mr. W. M. Maskell has been chosen to vote at the election of the Board of Governors of the New Zealand Institute. The balance-sheet shows that the total receipts for the year, including balance of £47 15s 4d, amount to £161 7s. 10d.; expenditure, £148 1s 3d.; balance (on current account), £13 6s 7d; balance in Savings Bank (life subscriptions), £33 12s 7d.
