separate Committee of Management. Your Committee which 

 undertook the School of Science for so many years, was able to 

 transfer it to the new management free of debt. With the 

 improved accommodation, the new Schools have doubled in 

 numbers, thus showing how much they are appreciated, and 

 that they meet a want long felt in the City for improved Art, 

 Technical, and Scientific teaching. 



Our Hon. Treasurer, Mr. John Mills, will place before 

 you the Annual Balance Sheet. This, the Committee consider 

 to be very satisfactory, as the small adverse balance he reports 

 may be fairly considered to be due to the cost of removal — the 

 expenses incurred under this head having been considerable. 



The Hon. Treasurer, Mr. E. J. Baillie, will read you the 

 Balance Sheet of the Kingsley Memorial Fund, managed by our 

 Society. 



The Library has been put in thorough order by our Hon. 

 Librarian, Mr. P. H. Fletcher, and Mr. W. H. Okell. The 

 books are now more accessible than at any former time, and the 

 facilities offered to the Members are much greater, so that your 

 Committee hope that more use will be made of the Library than 

 hitherto. 



Our Hon. Curator, Mr. Shrubsole, will read you the 

 Museum Report. 



Your Committee take this opportunity of thanking Dr. Ellis 

 for his great kindness in naming the Collection of Coleoptera 

 lately added to the Museum. 



The work of the Society, and the means by which it 

 endeavours to keep alive the interest of the Members, may be 

 considered under the following heads — 



Excursions Sectional Meetings 



General Lectures 

 Evening Rambles 



Conversazione 

 Prizes
