18 Annual Report. [FeB. 



in the income derived from investments, and, in the absence of Messrs, 

 Triibner's account for 1888, the income derived from the sale of pub- 

 lications cannot be fully given. 



Under Suhscriptions, the estimate was Rs. 7,300 and Rs. 7,263 were 

 received, besides Rs. 810, on account of Compounding fees, and Rs. 

 928 Admission fees, which have to be invested and do not form part of 

 the working income of the year. Under sale of Publications the 

 estimate was Rs. 400, but only Rs. 46 can be credited under this head, 

 as explained above. Under Interest on Investments Rs. 6,200 were 

 estimated, but only Rs. 6,169 received, the difference being due to In- 

 come Tax deductions. 



The Miscellaneous Receipts were only Rs. 61 against an estimate of 

 Rs. 100. 



The Ordinary Expenditure was estimated at Rs. 13,920, but the 

 amount paid out was only Rs. 12,871. The principal items in excess 

 were Salaries (due to an under estimate). Commission, and Municipal 

 Taxes, owing to an increase in the rates, and the house rate for 5 

 quarters being paid during the year. 



The actual expenditure on the Journal and Proceedings has been as

but a bill for £176-18-2, for plates illustrating the Journal Part II for 

 1888 is still due to Messrs. Triibner and Co., and should have been paid 

 during the year had the Agent's accounts for 1888 been received. There 

 are other later bills of Messrs. Triibner, and Messrs. West Newman and 

 Co., to bo paid also on account of plates for Journal, Part II, amount- 

 ing £62-8-4. The expenditure on this part of the Jouxmal will have to 

 be curtailed for the present. 



The Budget Estimate of ordinary Receipts and Expenditure for 

 1890 does not differ materially from that for 1889, but both have 

 been set at slightly reduced figures. The probable ordinary receipts 

 are estimated at Rs. 13,900, and the expenditure at Rs. 13,840. On 

 the receipt side the estimate under the head of Suhscriptions has been 

 left at the same amount as last year. The amount to be recovered 

 by Sale of Publications has also been left at Rs. 400, as it is estimated 

 that Triibner's account sales should show an average of about £30. It 

 IS probable also that the receipts under this head will be still larger on
