Abstract op Annual Report. 



The report for the year ended 31st January, 1893, stated that seven 

 ordinary meetings had been held, which were well attended, and at which 

 twenty-nine papers had been read, as compared with fifteen in the pre- 

 vious year. The number of members on the roll is one hundred. The 

 library has been much improved. The endeavour to obtain an endow- 

 ment from the Government had failed. The Council say that they cannot 

 let pass without notice the Rev. Mr. Colenso's offer of £200 to the Sir 

 Donald McLean Memorial Fund Committee, on condition that the 

 moneys collected for the purpose of providing a suitable memorial to the 

 late Sir D. McLean be used towards building a museum to be called the 

 " Sir Donald McLean Museum." 



The balance-sheet showed the total receipts to have been £118 16s. 

 2d., and the expenditure £117 18s. 3d., while the overdraft had been re- 

 duced from £39 7s. to £11 10s. 2d., against which there are subscriptions 

 outstanding to the amount of £23 2s.
