Abstract

“SIR,—In reply to Mr. MacLeod's letter of November 20, 1879, calling upon us, pending the preparation of our General Report, to give a brief summary of the progress already made, and to state at the same time what work was in hand, and such other facts as we might think it desirable to mention, to enable their Lordships to determine whether they shall apply to the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury for an extension of the vote for another year, we have the honour now to submit the following report.
