This additional membership of 54 since the annual meeting in 

 May is made up as follows: Sustaining, i; life, 18; annual, 35. 

 The total membership of the society is now 434. If this could 

 be increased to 500 by the time of the next annual meeting, the 

 society would be in a position to do much more effective work. 

 The secretary will be glad to receive nominations for member- 

 ship from the present members, and if each would propose one 

 new name, the above desire could be fulfilled. All fees from 

 patrons, sustaining members, and life members, by a resolution 

 of the council passed some years ago, must be added to a perma- 

 nent fund until such time as the fund with accrued interest shall 

 amount to Sio.ooo.oo, when the income from this amount will be 

 available for the current uses of the society. This fund is now 

 a trifle over Sj.ooo.oo, and it would be possible, by an increase 

 in these forms of membership, to raise this to the required amount 

 by the time of the next annual meeting.
