52 Ordinary Members ; 

 2 Honorary „ ; and 

 16 Associate ,, ; or 



70 in all have been added since last Report, but against 

 this there has to be placed a falling off of 



47 Ordinary Members and 

 25 Associate „ or 



72 in all. 



Two new Honoraiy Members have been elected this Session ; they 

 are, our ex-President, Mr Albert Grothe, who has left this country for 

 Spain, and James Geikie, LL.D., F.E.S. 



Among our Ordinary Members we have the pleasure to include 20 

 ladies. 



"When it is kept in mind that, owing to the alteration made in Rule 

 X. at last Annual INIeeting, this Report covers an actual period of only 

 six months, it will no doubt be admitted that, as regards work done, it 

 will compare very favourably with any previous Report.
