PKOCEEDIXGS OF THE SOCIETY, 189 



The value of the Society's Securities has been left at the same figure 

 as last year. The Society's Holding in New South Wales 3^% being 

 due to be paid off during the year, the stock was sold and the amount 

 realized was invested in £G12 Caledonian Railway No. 1 Preference 

 Stock. The Investment Account therefore remains at £1981 14s. 



During the year one Life Composition Fee has been received, and 

 this amount has been placed to the credit of Life Membership Account. 



The balance of the Revenue Account has been charged against 

 Reserve Fund, and this Fund is therefore reduced by £23 12s, Id., and 

 now stands at £48 6s. 7d, 



The high cost of Printing and the difficulties arising out of the war 

 compel the Council to continue to restrict the issue of the Journal to 

 four Numbers. 



Mr. Scourfield exhibited a slide, presented by Mr. G. H. Wailes, 

 F.L.S., of Nehela scutellata Wailes, from Lakehurst, New Jersey, 

 showing secondary plates covering the gaps between the somewhat 

 irregularly placed ordinary plates. The species was described for the 

 first time by Mr. Wailes in his paper on " Fresh-water Rhizopoda and 

 Heliozoa from the States of New York, New Jersey, and Georgia, U.S.A., 

 with Supplemental Note on Seychelles Species " (see Journ, Linn. Soc, 

 Zoology, xxxii, (1912) p, 139, pi. xii. figs. 11, 12). 



A vote of thanks to Mr. Wailes was proposed by the President, 

 seconded by Mr. Heron-Allen, and carried.
