THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT. 



Your Committee is again in a position to give a satisfactory 

 Report of the affaii's of the Chib during the past twelve months. 

 Its general efficiency has been well maintained on the lines which 

 have hitherto shown themselves best suited to the requirements 

 of its members ; and in regard to numbers, attendance at the 

 meetings, quality of work, and financial soundness, the period 

 covered by the present Report will bear comparison with any 

 of its predecessors. 



Thirty-four members were elected, and seventeen lost by resig- 

 nation or removal and four by death — viz., Mr. Henry Perigal, 

 F.R.A.S. ; Mr. C. N. Peal, F.L.S. ; Mr. Latimer Clark, F.R.S. ; 

 and Mr. H. B. Chamberlin. The total membership up to the 

 end of the year 1898 was 328. 



The average attendance at the meetings has continued to be 

 most satisfactory, being for the nine ordinary sixty-eight, and for 

 the fifteen conversational thirty-four. This is sufficient testimony 

 to the interest taken in the proceedings. 



The papers and other communications have also been extremely 

 good, as well as fairly numerous. The following is a list of the
