Mectiiuja of the Society. 



Five Monthly General Meetings of the Society and one 

 Special General Meeting (immediately following the An- 

 nual Meeting) were held during the year. During the 

 later part of the year the war occupied the attention of 

 some members who had promised papers, and several were 

 engaged in military service, and the Council therefore 

 recommended that three of the Ordinary Monthly Meet- 

 ings be allowed to lapse. Six papers were read during 

 the session, and several addresses were given by members. 



Me7nbers. 



During the year 10 candidates were elected to the 

 Society, of whom 9 accepted the obligations of member- 

 ship. The Society lost 32 members thro'Ugh death, resigna-

 membei-s at the end of the year was 134. There were also 

 8 members who have compounded their subscriptions for 

 life, 4 honorary members, and 15 corresponding members. 



Obituary notices of the deceased members will be found 

 at the end of the Report.. 



Papers and Proceedings. 



The additional exchanges which have been arranged 

 have again necessitated a larger edition of the "Papers and 

 Proceedings," and the Council ordered 650 copies for 1914.

 preparation of a union-catalogue of the periodicals in the 

 libraries, in Tasmania. This proposal was brought to the 

 notice of the managing bodies and librarians of the various 

 librax-ies, and all of them very courteouslv assisted the 

 ■Council by supplying lists of the periodicals in their collec- 

 tions. The catalogue has been conapiled in manuscript 

 from these lists, and from the recently-completed catalogue 

 of the Society's library. 



It is believed that the catalogue includes all impoi-tant 

 •collections in Tasmania which are available to the public. 

 The Council hopes that in thus bringing together a cata/- 

 logue of the resources of the various librcunes, the Society
