moreover it would not involve any infringement of the liglit 

 and air of tlie adjoining property. 



An estimate of the cost has not been obtained, but it would 

 not be heavy, and the advantages accruing would be great. 

 I feel very strongly that the Society should make every possible 

 effort to be in a position to make these extensions to its 

 premises when the period of the lease of No. 15, Elvaston 

 Mews expires in 1928. 



We are all deeply indebted to Mr. Eait-Smith for the 

 services he has so generously given and for the skilful way 

 in which he has developed his plans. 



Portraits of the following distinguished Fellows have been 

 procured and hung in the Meeting Room : — Lord Avebury, 

 Dr. T. A. Chapman, J. W. Dunning, F. D. Godman, Dr. G. B. 

 LoNGSTAFF, RoLAND Trimen, Gr. R. Waterhouse, Profcssor 

 J. 0. AVestwood and G. H. Verrall; others will be added 

 to the Portrait Gallery during the present year. 



There are quite a number of distinguished Fellows who are 

 no longer with us whose portraits we unfortunately do not 

 possess, including the following : — J. G. Children, R. 

 McLachlan, F. p. Pascoe and J. F. Stephens. I should be 

 greatly obliged to any Fellow who can inform me how a portrait 

 of any of them can be obtained, or the names and addresses 

 of the living representatives of their families. 



The foregoing facts and figures will I trust be held to justify 

 the optimistic forecast I made a year ago as to the Society's 

 prospects and prosperity. I trust, and I am confident, 

 that a year hence, if I am here, it will be my privilege and 

 pleasure to report that the advance in our prosperity has been 

 at least as great during the present year as it has been in 

 1922. 



The Treasurer also read a few extracts from the Financial 

 Statement, and both Report and Accounts were adopted 

 unanimously on the motion of Dr. C. J. Gahan seconded by 

 Mr. W. Rait-Smith. 



It was announced from the Chair that the Fellows nominated 

 as Officers and Coimcil for the ensuing year had been duly 

 elected in accordance with the Bye-laws.
