HON. TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1894. 



The Subscriptions received proper to the year 1894 is j£,2(j i6s., 

 various for year 1893 ;^i, and for 1892 ^i los., making a 

 total of ^32 6s. The expenditure is ^32 12s. id., but this sum 

 includes ;^3 4s , a debt due on account of the Conversazione of 

 1892. If this sum had not been paid the receipts would have exceeded 

 the expenditure by ^2 17s. iid. 



During the year one Subscriber has died, and four have resigned ; 

 on the other hand nine members have joined the Society. The 

 number of members now on the books is seventy-six, being nine more 

 than there were when the last list was printed, viz., in January 1894. 



The Subscriptions in arrears amount to ;^5 los. of which sum 

 I think about jQ2 only is likely to be realized. 



As to the liability of :^io 17s. ii^d., to the estate of the 

 late Colonel Horsley, the society is much indebted to the Executors 

 for their very kind consideration in not having put forward any claim. 

 The case remains precisely the same as it did when the Financial 

 Statements for the year 1893 was made.* 



The amount of Publishing Fund Subscriptions brought into the 

 General Fund of the Society during the year 1894 is;^i 5s., that Fund 

 now reaches £,() i8s., which sum is placed as a liability against the 

 Society. 



During the year a debt of ;^3 4s., in connection with the 

 Conversazione of 1892 has been paid, there is now no further claim in 

 respect of that entertainment. 



The sum of ^7 5s. 9d. for Printing the Report of 1893, cards, &c. 

 has been paid within the year 1894. The account for 1894 amounting 

 to £^1 17s. 6d., is a liability carried to the year 1895. 



Although the accounts show that the Society is ^2 6s. 2d. 

 better off than it was at the annual meeting last year, yet, I am sorry 

 not to be able to place a more satisfactory statement before this 

 meeting. The balance is still unfortunately on the wrong side, and 

 shows that great care should continue 10 be observed in regard to 

 expenditure in order to clear off the existing liabilities. 



J. A. BLOFELD,
