Report of the Royal Society of
Tasmania
for 1876. The report was read at the Annual General Meeting on 30 January 1877, when the motion 'That the Report be adopted, and printed for circulation
amongst the Fellows' was approved. The complete volume of the
Papers and proceedings and report of the Royal Society of Tasmania for the year 1876
was published in 1877, but apparently not issued until late December when Launceston and Hobart newspapers announced
that it had been received (for example
Mercury
(Hobart), 20 December 1977, p. 2). The
R
eport,
which is separately paginated, was evidently printed for distribution before final
publication.
