THIRTY-FIRST REPORT OF COMMITTEE. 



Your Committee is again in a position to give a satisfactory 

 account of the Club's affairs during the past year. 



In the twelve months up to December last twenty-one new 

 members were elected and 47 lost by resignation or death. 

 The former is rather below and the latter considerably above 

 the averages for some years, and although both are necessarily 

 fluctuating quantities, members are reminded it is by individual 

 effort on their part to introduce new entries that the numerical 

 efficiency of the Club can alone be maintained. 



The Club has suffered a great loss by the death of Mr. T. H. 

 Buffham, a most valued member and contributor of some of the 

 best original work ever brought before it. A brief memoir 

 and an appreciative estimate of his scientific labours, written 

 by Dr. De-Toni, of Padua, was given in the Journal. Death 

 has also removed several old friends, amongst whom may be 

 mentioned Mr. F. C. S. Roper, Dr. Tulk, Dr. Hilton, Mr. H.B. 

 Preston, Mr. Steward, and Mr. C. Tyler.
