During the course of the year the Society has lost three 

 Members by death, seven by resignation, and six Associates by 

 resignation, while it has gained three new Members and six new 

 Associates. 



The Council has to record with deep regret the death of Baron 

 von Muellei', who, though in recent years he has not taken any 

 active part in the work of the Society, was one of its original 

 Members, and for many years presided over its meetings. 



During the year the following publication has been issued, viz., 

 " Proceedings," Vol. A^III. (New Series), and at the present 

 moment Vol. IX. is in the press and will be issued shortly.
