GREENOCK PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. 



II. — Statement of (proce^^tnge. 



The Committee have pleasure in submitting to the Members the 

 Thirty-third Annual Report of the Society. The number of Members' 

 Tickets sold for the Session was 233, being an increase of three over 

 those sold last year ; and the number of Ladies' Tickets was 282, 

 being an increase of two. At the commencement of the Session, the 

 Committee were gratified that their endeavour to provide an attractive 

 programme was so successful that more tickets were applied for than 

 the Treasurer was able to provide, the number of tickets sold (515) 

 having been greater than for any previous Session in the history of 

 ihe Society. The attendance at the Lectures has also been so well 

 maintained as to be a matter for congratulation. The Committee 

 have also pleasure in referring to the funds of the Society, which are 

 in a very satisfactory state, the balance in the hands of the Treasurer 

 amounting to ;£so 17s. 5d., which is the largest clear balance that 

 has ever been carried forward from one Session to another ; for, 

 although the balance carried forward last year was greater, there had 

 to be paid out of it, as was stated in the Report, the cost of the 

 Society's lantern and fittings, which, from the accounts submitted 

 this year, it will be seen, amounted to ;^2o 6s. 2d.
