THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT. 



In presenting the usual Report at the Annual Meeting your 

 Committee is again enabled to give a good account of the Club's 

 position. 



The number of new members elected daring the past twelve 

 months — viz., 55 — is considerably above the average, and a very 

 gratifying response to the appeal made by the Committee in the 

 previous l^eport. 



On the other hand, seven have been lost by death, twenty-seven 

 have resigned, and four were removed for non-payment of 

 .subscription, leaving a membership, up to December 31st last, 

 of 352. 



The attendance at the meetings has been most satisfactory, and 

 the papers or other communications submitted at the business 

 nights good both in quality and quantity. A larger number of 

 specimens than has been the case for a long time have been 

 exhibited at the " gossip " meetings, frequently accompanied by 

 instructive and interesting illustrative notes. The Club is to be 

 congratulated on the active enthusiasm which has prevailed, and 

 produced such excellent results.

 meetings : —
