 September, 188 1, your Committee are pleased to be able to record 

 the continued financial prosperity of this Society, and an improve- 

 ment in the attendance at the Meetings during the past year, but 

 feel it necessary again to ask the Members to use their best 

 exertions to further the objects of the Society by attending its 

 Meetings, and by reading Papers and promoting discussion on the 

 Papers read by others, and by bringing before the Society all 

 matters of interest relating to Natural History with which they may 

 become acquainted. 



All the liabilities of the Society have been discharged, and 

 there is now a balance in the hands of the Treasurer amounting to 

 ^114 3s. 2d. A statement of the Accounts for the year is
