EEPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR 1912.

 elected and 6 have been reinstated ; whilst 7 have died, 6 have resigned, 

 and 1 has been removed.

The List of Fellows now contains the names of 421 Ordinary, 1 

 Corresponding, 33 Honorary, and SO Ex-officio Fellows, being a total 

 of 535, and an increase of 15 over the previous year. 



FINANCE. 



The amount received from Members' subscriptions is £33 less than 

 last year, but this does not affect the stal)ility of the Society's permanent 

 income, arising as it does from fewer subscriptions having been collected 

 and less having been paid in advance. 



The amount received from admission fees is rather less than last 

 year. 



The sales of the Journal have been better this year than in the 

 two preceding ones, and at the same time it has been found possible 

 to effect certain economies in connection with printing and publication 

 without in any way impairing the efficiency of the Journal. 



The Council much regrets to record the resignation, as Hon. 

 Treasurer (due to pressure of other work), of Mr. Wynne Baxter, who 

 has served the Society for seven years, and wishes to express its sense of 

 the debt owed him for his self-sacriticing and responsible work.
