GENERAL MEETING, 



12, Hanover Square, Tuesday, May 22, 1849. 



REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 



The Council have to report to the Members at their present 

 General Meeting, that during the past half-year 3 Governors and 

 226 Members have been elected into the Society, 3 Governors 

 and 35 Members have died, and the names of 6 Governors and 

 893 Members have been, on various accounts, omitted from the 

 list of the Society, which accordingly now comprises — 



89 Life Governors, 

 178 Annual Governors, 

 582 Life Members, 

 4643 Annual Members, and 

 20 Honorary Members. 



They think it, however, right to remark that, in the list of 

 names which have been erased from the books of the Society, 

 are included, not only those of Members who, for various 

 reasons in the course of things, have signified their desire to 

 withdraw; but a much larger number, who, with reference to 

 the transactions of former years, have ceased to belong to the 

 Society. A corrected list of the Governors and Members will 

 be printed at the end of the Volume of the Journal for the 

 present year. 



The Council have elected Mr. Thomas Raymond Barker a 

 Vice-President of the Society, in the place of the Earl Talbot,
