Assistant Librarian's Report, two hundred and eight volumes 

 have been taken out by Fellows during the year, and the 

 number of Fellows using the Library has largely increased. 

 There have also been placed in the Library, under the gift 

 of the Representatives of the late Mr. Robert McLachlan, 

 F.R.S., not included in the aforesaid donations and purchases, 

 two hundred and ninety-two volumes and pamphlets, to 

 which a distinguishing mark is affixed in the list of additions. 

 During this year, also, it has been arranged that the Library 

 shall be open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on Saturdays, 

 when the hours are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 



The Treasurer reports that, after carrying forward to 1906 

 the sum of £8 8s. for subscriptions paid in advance in 1905, 

 and investing £47 5s. for three Life Compositions received 

 during the year, making the total sum so invested £857 10s. 

 7c?., there remains a genuine cash balance in the Society's 

 favour of £50 3s. 5d. 



Arrangements have been made during the year for the sale 

 of back numbers of the Transactions to Fellows and non- 

 Fellows at a considerable reduction, and the report of the sales 

 thus effected, and for more recent volumes, shows a satisfac- 

 tory result. On the whole, therefore, we have to report that 

 our financial position is well established, and Fellows may 

 again be congratulated on the flourishing condition of the 

 Society.
