Appendix B. 



HON. TREASURER'S STATEMENT. 



From the balance sheet appended it will be seen that 

 the year again ends with a small debit balance, although 

 all due economy has been observed, consistent with 

 efficiency. 



The British Association (1896) fund has, to a consider- 

 able extent, enabled the Committee to continue the extra 

 expense involved in securing the services of a competent 

 Resident Curator at the Port Erin Station, which has 

 already proved of marked benefit to workers and students, 

 the number of whom have thereby considerably increased. 



The appeal made by the Director in his last year's 

 Report for an additional income of about £'100 per annum, 

 to be utilised in publishing well-illustrated papers and 

 memoirs, embodying the results of local biological inves- 

 tigations, has been responded to by Mr. Gossage by a dona- 

 tion for the present year. This fund is being separately 

 applied for the publication of a valuable series of well- 

 illustrated Biological Memoirs now appearing, the accounts 

 of which will be published later. 



The Hon. Treasurer will be glad to receive the names 

 of new subscribers, with the view of continuing these 

 publications, and further adding very materially to the 

 already excellent work achieved under the auspieces of 

 the L.M.B.C. since its foundation, fifteen years ago.
