HON. TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1885. 



During the year under review the Society has lost three 

 old and valued members by death, and three have resigned. 

 Against this loss may be set a gain of seven new members, thus 

 giving an increase of one, and bringing the number up to 

 seventy-eight in all. Of these, twelve have not paid their 

 subscriptions for 1885, two are in arrears for 1883 and 1884, 

 and two for 1884 in addition to 1885. 



The total sum received during the past year was, from 

 Subscriptions and Arrears, £30 lis. 6d., and from other sources, 

 as shewn in the Balance Sheet, £1 3s. 2d., making £31 14s. 8d., 

 while the expenditure has been £33 4s. lid., or £1 10s. 3d., in 

 excess of the receipts, thereby reducing the Balance to the 

 credit of the Society to £10 18s. lOd.
