GREENOCK PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. 



The Hall has been well taken advantage of during the year, 

 and the revenue derived from the letting of it is largely in excess of 

 that of any previous year. The Treasurer's accounts show an un- 

 usually large balance of ^251 19s 2d at credit of the Museum. 

 This is explained by the fact that at the request of Mr. McLean's 

 Trustees the accounts were not closed this year until December, in 

 order to bring them as nearly as possible into line with the accounts 

 of the Library. The result is that the accounts now submitted 

 extend over a period of fourteen months and include three half- 

 yearly grants from the Trustees instead of two. This will correct 

 itself next year, but in order to arrive at a comparison with previous 

 year's accounts, the amount of grant received in December, viz., 

 £i6-] 10s requires to be deducted from the above balance, leaving 

 the sum of ^84 9s 2d as the net balance. 



The members of Committee who retire by rotation are — Mr. J. 

 D. Neill and Mr. T. D. M'Murrich from the Library representatives, 

 and Mr Thomas Thomson and Mr. George Dunlop from the 

 Philosophical Society's representatives. They are all eligible for 

 re-election.
