REPORT FOR 1890.

SINCE our last Report PYRARDs VOYAGE, edited by Mr. Albert Gray, has been completed by the issue of the second part of Vol. II.; valuable appendices illustrating the early geography and history of the Maldives, together with a dictionary of some words of the language spoken in those islands, and an index, accompany this volume.

The work on the River Plate, comprising the VOYAGE OF ULRICH SCHMIDT, and the COMMENTARIES OF CABEZA DE VACA, has also been issued to members. The VOYAGE OF FRANOIS LEGUAT is now ready.

With regard to future arrangements, the LETTERS FROM INDIA OF PIETRO DELLA VALLE, edited by Mr. Edward Grey are in the printers hands. Dr. Robert Brown promises us shortly his edition of LEO AFRICANUS; Mr. Miller Christys VOYAGES OF FOXE AND JAMES are nearly ready; Lieut. Cecil Dampier, R.N., is engaged upon the VOYAGES OF CAPTAIN WILLIAM DAMPIER; Mr. im Thurn writes from British Guiana that he is collecting material for a second edition of SCHOMBURGHKS RALEIGHS EMPIRE OF GUIANA.

Besides these and other Works undertaken for our Society the Council has much pleasure in announcing that Mr. Theodore Bent has in hand two 17th century MSS. illustrating the early intercourse of the English with the Levant. These are the journals of MASTER DALLAM, who visited Constantinople in the early part of that century for purposes connected with his trade of an organ builder, and Dr. COVEL for six years chaplain to the Levant Company. Dr. Covels journals, which are very voluminous, will have to be considerably abridged so as to bring the whole Work into the compass of one volume. Meanwhile, Mr, Bents expedition to the ruined cities of Mashonaland will prevent him going on with the editing just at present.

In connection with Raleigh, the Council has also decided on publishing the VOYAGES OF KEYMIS AND BERRIE; Keymis was an intimate friend of Raleigh, and it was the failure of the last voyage to Guiana and his masters troubles that led the former to commit suicide.

The VOYAGES OF SIR HUGH WILLOUGHBY AND KICHARD CHANCELLOR TO RUSSIA, from Hakluyts Collection, will, a little later, form a suitable volume for our series, and the Hon. Secretary proposes to edit these.

By the deaths of Sir Richard Burton in October this year, while holding the post of H. M. Consul at Trieste, and of Sir John Henry Lefroy, two more active members are removed from our list. Burton edited for us HANS STADES CAPTIVITY IN BRAZIL, and Lefroythe HISTORYE OF THE BERMUDAES OR SUMMER ISLANDS.

The accounts of the Society show a balance on the 31st December, 1890, of 216 9s. 1d., after paying a heavy bill for printing, etc. As this includes more than half the cost of LEGUATS VOYAGE for issue in 1891, it is hoped that next years account will be much less.

The list of Subseriberg continues to be fairly well niaimtained, but more are wanted to complete the Works under-taken and suggested.

The vacancies on the Council caused by the retirement of

Mr. JOHN BARROW,

Vice-Admiral Sir F. W. RICHARDS, and

Sir CHARLES WILSON,

and by the election of Mr, Markbam to the office of

President, are filled by

Mr. S. E. BOUVEREB PUSEY,

Mr. E. H. H. GUILLEMAED,

Captain Sir J. SYDNEY WEBB, and
