The interest shown by the Fellows during the past year by 

 their exhibitions and discussions has enabled the Secretaries 

 to treble the Reports of the Proceedings, which up to the 

 present date extend to nearly one hundred pages, and thus 

 compare very favourably with those for any previous year 

 of the Society's existence. 



During the past year nineteen volumes — in addition to 

 periodicals, pamphlets and reprints — have been added to the 

 Society's Library. The increased use of the Library is 

 proved by the fact — according to the Resident Libi-arian's 

 Report — that two hundred and seventy-four volumes have 

 been borrowed by Fellows during the year ; and in addition 

 nearly as large a number of books have been used by 

 Fellows in the Libraiy. 



The Treasurer reports that after carrying forward to 1905 

 the sum of £7 7s\ for subscriptions paid in advance in 1904, 

 and investing £47 55. for three Life Compositions received 

 during the year, making the total sum so invested £792 3s., 

 there remains a genuine cash balance in the Society's favour 

 of £18 15s. 5d. The accounts compare favourably with 

 those of last year. Under the heading of " Receipts " the 

 total this year is slightly in excess, the smaller balance 

 carried fomvard is in consequence of numerous subscriptions, 

 amounting to upwards of £50, being in arrear. The majoiity 

 of these however are considered as likely to be paid in time. 

 On the whole the financial position is perfectly satisfactory, 

 and the Fellows have to be congratulated on the increased, 

 and still increasing prosperity of the Society.
