After the minutes had been read and accepted tlie 

 Hon. Secretary read his report, a brief outline of which is 

 as follows : — There were 16 new Members for election ; 

 seven resignations had been sent in during the year, and five 

 Members were to be removed for non-payment of subscrip- 

 tions. This left the roll of Members at date of meeting at 

 119 Ordinary and 7 Honorary Members. Seven numbers of 

 the Journal had been issued to date; the Migration Survey 

 had been started, and the first report, then in the press, 

 Avould be published in the October No. of the Journal,

 the necessity of closer co-operation to ensure the success of 

 this important work. The report as well as the Treasurer's 

 statements were adopted. A lengthy discussion took place 

 over the future policy and character of the Journal, and it 

 was finally decided that it should be open to scientific matter 

 only, and [)lates of scientific value, and that papers of a 

 popular nature should be published in a separate series to 

 be known as " Popular Bulletins." The following new 

 Members were declared duly elected : — Messrs. Graham
