tory. The statement of accounts to be submitted herewith shows 

 the receipts to have been ;£^2i2 12s. 4d. and the expenditure 

 ;£"i75 13s. 5d., leaving a credit balance of ;^ 146 i6s. 2d., which 

 is ;^3o better than at the commencement of the year, notwith- 

 standing the heavy expenditure on the Naturalist. Though 

 rather anomalous, the account at the London Bank shows a 

 slight overdraft at the end of the year. This was incurred in 

 order to save withdrawing from the Savings Bank account of 

 ^150, and the overdraft was repaid within a few days of the 

 commencement of the new year. 



" The committee desire to thank Messrs. Morton and Coghill 

 for generously allowing the use of their office for committee 

 meetings, and for other favours. 



*' In conclusion, your committee desire to thank all who by 

 sacrifices of time and convenience have helped forward the work 

 of the Club during the past year, and they trust their successors 

 will have still greater opportunities of furthering the study of 

 Natural History during the coming year than they have had, and 

 would ask the members to leave no stone unturned in maintain- 

 ing the Club as the leading society of the kind in the Common- 

 wealth.
