In the discussion which followed the reading of the report 

 Mr. Best said the Club's finances showed a loss of £17 for the 

 year. Various causes were assigned for the loss, the chief 

 being the extra cost of printing the Club's journal. He thought 

 that if tenders were invited a saving in the cost of printing 

 would result. He was opposed to the procedure of supplying 

 associates with the journal for the sum of 2s. 6d. per annum. 



Mr. Hardy signified himself as in accord with the Club's 

 procedure in regard to the associates, and thought it advisable 

 to increase the yearly subscription for ordinary members from 

 15s. to 20S. 



Dr. Sutton said that in his opinion the journal should be made 

 more attractive to outsiders. By this means a better circula- 

 tion, with its accruing advantages, would be gained. He 

 suggested that a sub-committee be formed to go into the matter. 



On the motion of Messrs. O. Rosenhain and F. Pitcher, the 

 report and statement were adopted.
