236 .JoUfcJfAL OF THE TRINIDAD 



The balance of $26.60 of last year has been raised to 

 $110.95. The total receipts do not amount to those of last year, 

 owing to the fact that the advertisements have not yet been 

 collected, but when this is done the receipts will be more than 

 those of 1893-94. There are also many Members' subscriptions 

 still to come in. The usual statement of finances is appended. 



During the year there have been nine Ordinary Meetings, 

 at which the attendance has been on the average better than in 

 former years, and the papers read have maintained a high 

 standard of excellence. On the 26th October 1894, under the 

 auspices of the Club, Mr. Mole delivered at the Victoria Insti- 

 tute, a lecture on Snakes which was well attended. 



The Journal is published as usual, details of which will be 

 found in the Publication Committee's Report. 



The following is a list of the additions to the Library during 

 the year 1894-95.
