A Field Meeting was held on July 14th, 1921, when the Association 

 was entertained at Reading by Messrs Sutton and Sons and by Professor 

 Percival and the authorities of the Reading University College. 



During the year Mr E. E. Green, finding himself unable to retain 

 his seat on the Council, his resignation was accepted with reluctance 

 and Dr J. Waterston of the Natural History Museum was invited to fill 

 the vacancy. Since the last Annual General Meeting Professor Johannsen 

 of Denmark has been elected to Honorary Membership of the Association 

 and eighteen candidates to ordinary membership. The number of mem- 

 bers exclusive of those whose subscription is three or more years in 

 arrears now stands at 240, an increase of nine over last year. 



The Laws of the Association have been revised and the amended Laws 

 were published in Part I of Volume ix of the Annals of Afijlied Biology. 

 The issue of the Annals has been brought up to date and in future it is 

 hoped to complete one volume each year. 



The increase of the annual subscription to the Association to 25*., 

 passed by resolution at the last Annual General Meeting, came into 

 force on January 1st of this year. 



The Council consider, and are confident that members will agree, that 

 the Association may be congratulated on the progress made during the 

 year as judged whether by the value of the communications received 

 or by the growing membership and the remarkable and increasing 

 attendance at the meetings. 



The thanks of the Association are due to Professor J. B. Farmer and 

 his colleagues for granting the use of rooms for the meetings of the 

 Council, and, further, for their unfailing kindness and hospitality in 

 permitting the Association to meet in the Botanical Lecture Theatre 

 of the Imperial College of Science.
