issues of the Journal. The Society is also indebted to Captain 

 Beamish. R.E., for the ground plan of Dale Abbey, and for the 

 drawing of one of the Chapter House monuments. 



The number of members on paper is 281, as, however, 88 of 

 these have not at present paid their subscriptions, it is scarcely 

 known whether to count them as members for the year now 

 commencing. 



In conclusion, the Council think they are fairly entitled to 

 congratulate the Society upon the general success of its first year's 

 proceedings.
