If the cash balance for 1 912 is compared with that of 1911, it might 

 seem that the .financial condition of the society was not very good. The 

 financial conditions on the contrary are the best for any year of which 

 your treasurer has made any study of the accounts. He has paid for 

 six numbers of the Annals in addition to handling the expense of mailing 

 certificates of membership. Certificates have been sent to all persons 

 included on the membership roll of the society and if there are any who 

 have not received a certificate, the secretary should be notified. The 

 net expense of issuing the six above mentioned ntunbers of the Annals 

 alone was $1731.93. The only outstanding account is for the Decem- 

 ber Annals, which had not been issued when the Treasurer's accounts, 

 were closed.
