Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions and of Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria, Vol. 7: January, 1865 to June, 1866 The Seventh Volume of the "Transactions of the Royal Society of Victoria," now issued to the Members, brings the Proceedings of the Society to the close of the first six months of 1866. It also embraces the Address of the President for this year, delivered on the 2nd July. It will be seen that many of the papers are of considerable importance, both in their value as contributions to the literature of science, and also from their relation to a young colony, of which so much has yet to be learned. The Council for the present year earnestly desire to continue the publication of the Transactions, by the issue of quarterly parts; but such a proceeding, involving as it does a large expenditure of money, together with a considerable amount of labour, can only be accomplished by the co-operation of the body of members. If those entrusted with the government of the Royal Society obtain that assistance, there is no reason to fear that the Papers will ever fall into the arrear from which they are now brought by the publication of the present volume.
