Progress of the Institute. The The Council of the Victoria Institute have the pleasing duty to present to the Members and Associates of the Society their 56th Annual Report. They are glad to note an encouraging total increase in the Membership. The average attendance has been good and the interest in papers well sustained. Without making invidious distinctions, the papers by Drs. Kyle and Naville, on Problem of the Pentateuch from the Standpoint of the Archeologist," and "Deuteronomy a Mosaic Book" respectively, were weighty contributions to present-day problems of Biblical Criticism, and it was hoped that some champions of the Higher Critical School would be present to defend their citadel, but such hopes were disappointed. The Council are glad that both these learned supporters, the latter of whom has this year become a Vice-President of the Society, have promised papers in the present Session. The place of President has not yet been filled, the Council feeling that it is better in such an important matter to "hasten slowly." 2. Meetings.
