ANNUAL MEETING. 
Wednesday, January 18th, 1922. 
The Rt. Hon. Lord Roruscuinp, D.Sc., FRS., ave | 
the Chair. 
Dr. S. A. NeAve, one of the Secretaries, read the following 
Report of the Council. 
The first year of the Society’s occupation of its new home 
will always be a historic one, and it is therefore highly satis- 
factory that it is possible to ae marked progress in all 
aspects of its activities. 
The Society’s financial position will be dealt with in the 
Treasurer's Report, which you will hear read shortly. 
The losses in Fellows have been exceptionally heavy; 
these have been due to the death of 17 Fellows, the resigna- 
tion of 20, and the removal of 6 for non-payment of subscrip- 
tions. In spite of this, our numbers have increased, 51 new 
Fellows having been elected. The Society now consists of 
12 Honorary, 2 Special Life Fellows, and 664 Ordinary 
Fellows, making a total of 678, the largest number in its 
history. This result is a very gratifying one, and would 
appear fully to justify the policy of raising the subscription, 
which it will be remembered took effect from the beginning 
of the year under review. 
The Transactions will consist of 604 pages, and will form 
the largest volume since 1913. This is due in some measure 
to a fall in the cost of printing, and it is much to be hoped 
that in the coming year it will be possible to return to at 
least the pre-war standard, not only of letterpress, but of 
illustrations. The volume for the year contains 15 papers 
by the following authors :— 
H. E. Anprewes; G. J. Arrow, F.Z.S.; K. G. Bua; 
G. D. Hate Carpenter, D.M., F.Z.S., etc.; H. DoNIsTHORPE, 
F.Z.S.; F. W. Epwarps; H. Exrrinenam, M.A., D.Sc.;
