for 1905, a Resolution was submitted to the Meeting held on 
13th March, and passed unanimously, raising the annual 
subscription payable by members of the Society, to five 
shillings ; and the Council hopes shortly, by means of the 
additional funds so obtained, to resume the publication of 
occasional volumes of reports of the Proceedings of the Society. 
The Council congratulates the Society on the success of the 
efforts made to prevent the destruction of the Colfe Almshouses, 
efforts to which the Society was able to give some assistance. 
The amount required for the repair of the Almshouses has now 
been raised, and it is expected that they will soon be put again 
into a habitable condition. 
During the past year the Society has been admitted an 
Associated Society of the British Association, and was

last by A. E. Salter, Esq., D.sc.
