tained how many Societies are to co-operate, but it is estimated 

 that the amount would not exceed jQio per annum, 



Dunn Memorial Fund. 



This Fund consists of ^loo Edinburgh Corporation Redeem- 

 able Stock, bearing interest at 3 per cent., and a balance of 

 uninvested capital of ;!^i, los. 2d, The income received during 

 the year was ^3 less income tax, which, however, may be 

 recovered from the Government. The actual sum at present in 

 hand is therefore ^4, 7 s. 6d. A Committee was appointed to 

 consider as to the disposal of this sum, and they have recom- 

 mended that in the event of accommodation being obtained in 

 the Royal Institution, the sum in hand and the future income of 

 this Fund should be expended in the purchase of Forest Litera- 

 ture for the library and reading-room. 



Library and Museum. 



A list of the publications received by the Society since the 

 last list was published will, as usual, be printed in an Appendix 

 to the Proceedings of this Meeting. (See Appendix C.) 



Annual Meeting. 



At last Annual Meeting the motion brought forward by Mr 

 Leven, to the effect that the Annual Meeting of the Society 

 should be held alternately in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Perth, was 

 rejected. Mr Boyd gave notice that he would bring up a similar 

 motion at the present Meeting, but, subsequent to the Meeting, 

 he withdrew his motion. He, however, brought up the matter at 

 a recent meeting of the Council, and by a majority the Council 

 decided to recommend, for the approval of this meeting, that the 

 next Annual Meeting should be held in Perth. 



The Council. 



It was reported that in 1902 the Council had resolved to meet 

 on Saturday afternoons instead of on Wednesdays as in previous 

 years. The matter was again brought up in the beginning of 

 last year, when it was decided to hold the meetings alternately 

 on Wednesday and Saturday, and this decision has been acted 

 on during the past year. 



Jubilee Dinner. 



Members are reminded that the Jubilee Dinner will be held in 

 the Royal British Hotel this evening at 6 o'clock, and will be 

 presided over by Mr Fothringham, the President. 



After the Report had been read, the President invited Members 

 to express their views regarding the various points raised, and 

 said that each point would be dealt with separately.
