THE 
SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT 
OF THE COUNCIL: 
PRESENTED TO THE ANNUAL MEETING, HELD 
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23rd, 1876. 
—o 
The Council, in presenting their 6th annual report of the state 
of the Society’s affairs, regret to have to state that as compared with 
the previous year there has been a retrogression, instead of as before, 
a decided advance in the prosperity of the Society. The retro- 
gression is however but small, and may most probably be accounted 
for by the fact that the energies of most of the leading members of 
the Society were during the past year devoted to the promotion of 
the success of the Scientific Department of the Yorkshire Exhibition 
of Arts and Manufactures. Your Council trust that their successors 
may not only have the benefit of the services of these members 
during the ensuing year, but that their term of office may be the 
most successful one that the Society has ever yet enjoyed. 
MEMBERS. 
In the last Annual Report the number of members was given 
as 97, only those being counted who were not at that time in arrear 
with the Treasurer. By subsequent paymeuts of arrears this num- 
ber was raised to 105, which may be considered as the starting- 
| r point for the present year. 
As explained in previous reports, the nature of the payment of 
subscriptions renders it necessary to keep quarterly lists of members. 
The following are the figures for each quarter as at present standing 
in the Roll-Books:— 
1875 March 31. 105 members. 
June 30. 107 5s 
Sept. 30. 103 as 
Dec. 31. 101 a5 
1876 Feb. 23. 100 m 
All members who pay an annual subscription are included in these 
The nominal roll as at present standing includes 4 Honorary 
members, 94 Original members, 1 New Ordinary member, and 1 
Non-resident member, in addition to which Subsciptions are yet due
