Annual Report of the Council. 17$ 



library has been put up in the cloak-room, but this accom- 

 modation by no means provides for what is needed in this 

 direction. 



The number of societies using the building for their 

 meetings remains the same as last year. One of these 

 societies dissolved in November last, viz., the Manchester 

 Scientific Students Association, whose books of minutes 

 have been presented to the Society. Arrangements have 

 been made with the Manchester Architects Association for 

 the use of the rooms for the meetings of that organisation. 



The Council recommends the continuance of the system 

 of electing associates of Sections by the usual resolution. 



The Librarian reports that there is a continued steady 

 increase in the number of volumes received from other 

 Societies, and that an addition has been made to the 

 number of periodicals purchased by the Society.

 authors and compilers' presentation copies, as follows : —

 Expedition. "
