The Officers and Committee have met twelve times during 
the year, and good attendances have been recorded at all of these. 
Nearly 80 members of the Society are serving with His 
Majesty’s Forces, and those who have been spared have the best 
wishes of the Society for a speedy and safe return. (See p. 20.) 
Owing to the restrictions on paper and the increased cost of 
producing printed matter, your Committee have decided to omit 
from this Report the list of Honorary and General Members, 
additions to the Socicty’s Library, and several other items. It 
ts, however, to be sincerely hoped that before the next Annual 
Report is issued peace will have been declared, with goodwill 
tcwards all men.

personal acquaintance during those years have delightful 
recollections of their intercourse with him. "The many 
services rendered to the Society by the late Professor 
McKenny Hughes are fully recorded in Mr. Siddall’s
