Member of the Society that the inconvenience, inappropriate- 

 ness, and ill-chosen locality of the premises selected for the 

 Exhibition of their already most valuable Collection, must de- 

 stroy any hopes of the Museum ever becoming a source from 

 which the income of the Society may be materially increased. 

 There has been £820 added to the Investment Fund during 

 the year; but your Auditors are bound to notice that such 

 investment is made at the expense of the balance, leaving the 

 amount of cash in hand only £254 185. Id. on the 31st of 

 December 1837, whereas at the same period in the preceding 

 year it amounted to £1259 Is. 5d. 



ASSETS. 



The only material alteration in the Assets of the Society 

 during the year 1837, is an increase of the Funded Capital to 

 the amount of £820, making that Investment Fund amount to 

 £10,081 125. 7d. on the 31st of December 1837. 



LIABILITIES. 



With respect to the Liabilities, the outstanding debts of the 

 Society are £200 more than in 1836; but under all circum- 

 stances it is gratifying to be able to state, that the contracts 

 pending on the 31st of December 1837, are £1119 less than 

 at the corresponding period of the previous year. 



In closing this Report, your Committee of Auditors have 

 to express their unqualified approbation of the zeal and assi- 

 duity manifested by the Assistant Secretary, in the distinctness 

 and order with which he keeps the Books and Accounts of 

 the Society.
