number of subscribing members is 202, honorary members fo, 
associates 2—total 214. 
The financial condition of the Society continues very satis- 
factory, the balance in hand being £24 4s. 6d., against a 
balance in hand of £30 gs. 2d. at the commencement of the 
year, the difference being more than accounted for by the 
heavy expenditure on the publication of Transactions. There 
is also a sum of £40 14s. gd. standing to the credit of the 
Society’s Investment Account. 
The School-room in Friars’ Walk, in which the Society’s 
meetings have been held for the past two seasons, not having 
proved altogether suitable for the purpose, it has been decided 
to again hold them at the Masonic Hall, Union Street. 
Your Committee recommend that that part of Rule ii, which 
provides that the three members of the Committee who have 
made the smallest number of attendances at Committee Meet- 
ings shall retire and not be eligible for re-election, shall be 
amended by the substitution of ‘‘two members” for ‘ three 
members,’”’ as your Committee find by experience that the 
latter number is too large a proportion. 
The three members who have this year made the smallest 
number of attendances are (in order)—Messrs. Skipton, Fisher, 
and Day, and if the rule be amended as suggested, the two 
former will retire and not be eligible for re-election. 
The Report and Balance Sheet were adopted on the motion 
of Mr. Harper, seconded by Mr. Hanson. 
The proposed amendment of Rule ii was carried. 
The Officers, Committee, and some new Members were then 
elected, a vote of thanks to the Chairman bringing the meeting 
to a close.
