TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF 
QUEENSLAND. 
GENTLEMEN,—Your Council have pleasure in congratu- 
lating you on the satisfactory progress of the Society since 
the date of the last annual meeting. 
On the books of the Society there are now 146 members 
—inclusive of 25 whose subscriptions for 1885 are still in 
arrear, and exclusive of 5 who have retired. 
A census of the Society gives the following results :—

The number of new members elected during the past 
year was 38. 
It will be seen from the Financial Statement appended 
that there is a balance in the hands of the Treasurer of 
£98 15s. This amount is, however, chargeable with 
liabilities already incurred. 
Your Council would then avail themselves of the oppor- 
tunity to respectfully urge upon those whose subscriptions 
are in arrear the desirability of maintaining the credit of 
the Society. 
On the side of Expenditure will be found the item 
“Editing Publications, 1884-5.” This grant was made to 
the Honorary Secretary in August, 1885, but the Council are 
still under obligations to this officer for much _pains- 
taking services which cannot be repaid by a money grant.
