19 volumes have "been formed and bound. Likewise tlie various 

 completed volumes of tKe serial works have been bound up and 

 placed on the shelves, with Index letter and No. aflB:xed. 



The Hon. Librarian cannot conclude his Report for 1886 

 without stating how much he, individually, and the Society 

 generall}^ owe to Mr. Reid for the unremitting labour he has 

 bestowed in preparing the Catalogue which lies on the Library 

 table, giving, as it does, a full description of the books, and of 

 their places on the shelves, together with a classified list for 

 reference. It is now easy for a Member to find the book he is 

 in search of, that is if those who borrow books will only put 

 them back on the shelf whence they took them.

HON. TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1886. 



During the past year the Society has lost two Members by 

 death, viz., A. Poynter, Esq., of Dover, and T. Kingsford, 

 Esq., of Barton House ; and five Members have either resigned 

 membership or left Canterbury. Against this loss there has 

 been a gain of four new Members elected in 1886, thereby 

 reducing- the loss to three, and making the number of Members 

 at present in connection with the Society 75. Of these, how- 

 ever, there are three who have not paid their subscriptions for 

 several years, and who do not take any notice of reminders ; 

 their names therefore should be omitted from the list of 

 Members, in accordance with Rule 3. This will reduce the 

 numbsr to 72. Of these, eight have not paid their subscriptions 

 for 1886, and three of these are in arrears for 1885, making 

 together £5 os. still due. 



The total sum received during the year under review was, 

 from Subscriptions for 1886, £30 5s. 6d ; and from Arrears, 

 £2 5s. Od. ; making in all, £32 10s. 6d. ; while the Expendi- 

 ture has been £27 18s. Od., or £4 12s. 6d. less than the 

 receipts, thereby increasing the balance to the credit of the 

 Society to £17 7s. Id., of which £1 15s. 9d. is in the hands 

 of the Hon. Treasurer. 



W. H. HORSLEY, Colonel, 



Hon. Treasurer.
