The Committee are glad to report that a small Committee of their 

 number have been appointed to prepare a synopsis of the proceedings of 

 the Society for the first twenty years of its existence, with a view to its 

 being printed and circulated among the Members at the close of next 

 Session. 



It will be observed that while the Membership of the Society is 213, 

 being one more than last year, the tickets issued to ladies and youths 

 are 221, being 44 more than last year. The Committee think it right, 

 when calling attention to this slight increase in the Membership and the 

 large increase in the tickets issued to ladies and youths, to remind the 

 Society that its original intention was to issue ladies' and youths' tickets 

 only with the Members tickets and to the families of Members. 



At the statutory meeting in December the vacancies which occurred 

 in the Society's representatives in the Museum Committee were filled up 

 by the election of Mr J. D. Scott and Dr Wilson. The Otifice-Bearers 

 who retire are Dr Wallace, one of the Vice-Presidents ; Mr Duncan 

 M'Callum, the Treasurer; and Messrs John Erskine, John Stewart, John 

 Love, John Brymner, and J. D. Scott, all of whom are ineligible for 

 re-election, except the Treasurer and Dr Wallace, who was elected to 

 fill the place of Mr Jarvie, whose term of office as Vice-President had 

 not expired.
