Any Member wishing to take a Book from the Library, 

 is particularly requested to see that an entry is made in the 

 book kept for that purpose, which is on the Library table. 

 The date must also be entered when the book is returned. 



Before Members are allowed to take Books out of the 

 Library, a deposit of ten shillings is required. Some of the 

 Books cannot be taken away from the Library. 



The accounts for the year have been audited, and the 

 General Financial Statement to March 31st, 1875, is 

 appended to this report. 



The Museum, now containing a valuable and well- 

 arranged collection of Natural History, Geology, and 

 Antiquities, as well as a Library, which though not 

 extensive, contains many works of cost and value, is highly 

 creditable to the Town and County of Warwick, and 

 deserves a much greater amount of support than it has of 

 late years received. An excellent foundation has been 

 laid, but much might be eflPected if adequate means were 

 placed at the disposal of the Council. Owing to the losses 

 by death, of several subscribers during the past year, and 

 the small number of additional members, the funds of the 

 Society are in a less satisfactory condition than could be 

 desired. A reference to the list of subscribers will show 

 that only a few of the rich and influential residents in the' 

 County belong to the Society. If the members would 

 solicit annual subscriptions from their friends and neigh- 

 bours, it is probable that a considerable addition would be 

 made to the funds of the Society. 



At the Annual Meeting, the following papers by the 

 Rev. P. B. Brodie and the Rev. J. E. Young were read,
