The Chairman then called upon the Secretary to read the 

 Report of the Committee for 19.20, viz. : — 



" The Committee regret that they have to report that the 

 financial position for 1920 is even more unsatisfactory than 

 that for 1919j and the year under re[)ort ended with an 

 adverse balance of practically £190. The reason for 

 this adverse balance is entirely the great cost of publishing 

 ' The Ibis,' which increased from .€1000 in 1919 to practi- 

 cally j£l300 in ]920. At the same time it should be noted 

 that 'The Ibis' for 1920 contained a greater number of 

 pages than that of a normal year. 



" To meet the deficit in the Society's funds, the Com- 

 mittee recommended at a special General Meeting called 

 together on tlic 13th of October that the subscription should 

 be raised to £'2. This recommendation was unanimously 

 adopted, and will be put before the present meeting for 

 confirmation. The Committee are very glad to report that, 

 pending this confirmation, a large majority of tiie members 

 of the Union have already subscribed the full M2 for the 

 present year. 



"The Trustees of the British Museum have, we regret to 

 say, declined to again give us any donation towards the cost 

 of publishing Museum articles in ' The Ibis,' but it is still 

 hoped that they may be induced to contribute something 

 towards the actual expenses of such articles.
