This, it suems, has cause<l Some confusion, and provoked a critical analysis of the luinijdilot at the hands of >lr. \. Elliott on Noiniiiatiou day. As Mr. Meldruin truly ol^crves, "u little thought and a short exorcise in simple addition ia all that is necessary to satisfy any mie that the report, eren i« printed. i.t >|uit<i correct.
