Report of Association Secretary, (pro. tem.) 
Although we cannot this year record any addition to the 
~ number of affiliated Societies, still there is an increase in the 
aggregate number of members, there being now 1213 against 1131 
at the date of last report. 
The numbers in the different affiliated Societies are as 
_ follows :—Whitehaven, 260; Keswick, 150; Cockermouth, 64; 
Workington, 103; Maryport, 106; Longtown, 43; Carlisle, 190; 
Ambleside, 171 ; Silloth, 126. 
The Public Lecturer, Professor H. A. Nicholson, M.D., D.Sc., 
F.R.S.E., seems to have given general satisfaction. The total cost 
to each of the Societies was £2 175. 6a, a sum of £12 125. 
having been devoted towards the expenses out of the Association 
Funds. 
Financially, the Association is not in quite such a flourishing 
condition, on account of the largely increased expenditure for the 
Transactions.
