The deaths referred to above included those of Dr. Hebb, for many

 1912. 



FINANCE. 



The Financial Statement will be presented at a subsequent Meeting. 



JOURNAL. 



The death in May last of Dr. Hebb, the Editor of the Journal, was 

 a very serious loss to the Society, and this, coupled with the difficulties 

 connected with the supply of paper and the increased cost of printing, 

 caused your Council great anxiety. Dr. Singer very kindly offered his 

 services as Honorary Editor, and they were gladly accepted, together 

 with offers of assistance from other Members of the Council. It is 

 hoped in the near future, when more normal conditions return, that the 

 Journal may be developed and exercise a wider influence in all branches 

 of microscopical science. 



The Council wishes to take this opportunity to thank most cordially 

 the Contributors and Abstractors for their valuable work during the 

 past year. 



LIBRAEY. 



The Library has been utilized by a considerable number of Fellows, 

 and the number of books borrowed from Lewis's Library has been 

 larger than usual. During the year an innovation has been made by 

 arranging for the rooms of the Society to remain open on Wednesday 

 evenings (other than meeting evenings) from six to nine o'clock, in order 

 to afford greater facilities for the use of the Library.
