His Excellency the Governor, as President, delivered the following presidential address : — Mr. Vice - President, members of the Council, and Fellows of the Royal Society, — Among the many honourable and agreeable positions held by the Governor of Tasmania, there is none more honourable, none more agreeable, than that of President of the Royal Society of Tasmania. Not only can the Royal Society claim to be one of the oldest scientific bodies of Australasia, but it may also justly pride itself on having contributed largely to the stores of science and research' which have been laid up in this great Southern Dominion.
