1892.] Annual Report. 11 



resignation of Mr. H. Beveridgc in consequence of leaving India, and 

 the Hon. Sir A. W. Croft was appointed to fill the vacant place. 

 The other Trustees on behalf of the Society were : — 



Dr. A. F. R. Hoernle. 



A. Pedler, Esq. 



Dr. D. D. Cunningham. 



C. Little, Esq. 



Finance. 



The accounts of the Society are shown in Statement No. 1 in the 

 Appendix under the usual heads. 



Statement No. 8 contains the Balance Sheet of the Society, and of 

 the different funds administered through it. 



The Budget Estimate for 1891 was taken at the following figures : — 

 Receipts Rs. 15,570— Expenditure Rs. 14,323. 



The actual results were found to be : — Receipts 16,007-0-3. Ex- 

 penditure Rs. 12,975-13-10. 



The Receipts thus show an increase of Rs. 437-0-3 and the Expen- 

 diture a decrease of Rs. 1,347-2-2 on the Budget Estimate, leaving a 

 balance in favour of the Society of Rs. 3,031-2-5. 



The increase in Receipts is under the heads of Subscriptions and 

 Sales of Publications. Subscriptions were estimated at Rs. 7,500, 

 whilst the actuals were Rs. 7,786-8-10, the excess being due to some of 

 the arrear subscriptions from members having been realized. Sales of 

 Publications show an increase of Rs. 1,004-12-11. This large increase 

 is due to the adjustment of Messrs. Triibner's accounts for 18 months, 

 and of the unexpected sale of periodicals during the period. 



As only 15 new members were elected, there is a reduction of Rs. 

 172 under the head of receipts from admission fees; and the difference 

 between the estimated and actual miscellaneous receipts is due to the 

 refund of income tax not yet having been granted. 



On the expenditure side, the items, of " Books," " Binding " and 

 " Printing of Circulars," &c, show an increase. Books were estimated 

 at Rs. 1,800 whilst the actuals were Rs. 2,372-13-3, the increase 

 being due to the adjustment of Messrs. Triibner's account for 18 months. 

 Taking into account the period the amount covers, the expenditure on 

 Books is within the Budget Estimate. Binding has increased by Rs. 

 51-15-3. This is due to the binding of some old books, which were 

 required by members at the close of the year. 



As new labels for sending the publications to Foreign Societies had 

 to be printed, and a larger number of circulars than usual were required 

 owing to the suggested alteration of rules there is an increase under 

 this head of Rs. 55-2.
