Member List. 



During tlie year under review 36 gentlemen were elected Ordinary- 

 Members of the Society, 13 members withdrew, 7 died, 12 were re- 

 moved from the list under Rule 40, being more than 3 years absent 

 from India ; the election of one member was cancelled by request, as 

 he was contemplating an early return to Europe, and one member was 

 struck off on account of non-payment of his admission fee, by which 

 his election became void under Rule 9 : of the 36 members elected 4 

 were old members who rejoined. The total number of membei-s at the 

 close of 1889 was thus 307 against 305 at the end of the preceding 

 year : of these 108 were Resident, 135 Non- Resident, 13 Foreign, 22 

 Life, 27 absent from India, and 2 special Non- Subscribing members, as
