Annual Report.

ANNUAL REPORT.



HROUGH the second year of the great war the Magazine



has been maintained in spite of adverse circumstances,

and it is to be hoped that members will do their very best to

keep things going by PUNCTUALLY PAYING ANNUAL SUB¬

SCRIPTIONS, and by writing articles whenever it is possible.

For the Editor it has been uphill work. We have lost the

valuable assistance of Mr. Newman and Dr. Lovell-Keays

as honorary Business Secretaries, for which loss the war is

responsible; whilst through deaths on the battle fields we have

to sorrow for members whose names, no longer upon our list,

are enrolled in a greater one, the roll of the honoured who

have passed along the shining path.


The Council thanks very sincerely those who have con

tributed to the welfare of the Magazine, either by writing for

it, or by kindly giving money towards the illustration fund,

which is always more or less in need of pecuniary assistance.


If the Magazine can be upheld until Peace is declared,

we hope for better days with renewed activity amongst many

of the members whose time is now taken up with more

weighty matters.


The Council tenders its thanks to Mr. THOMASSET, who,

in spite of war-work, has kindly continued to hold the post of

Hon. Treasurer. Neither does it forget the constantly helpful

services of Dr. BUTLER.
