Mr. H. Fulton and Mr. Alexander Reynell were appointed scrutineers. 
The following report was read :— 
‘“Your Council, in presenting their tenth Annual Report, have to 
record a continuance of the steady progress chronicled in former years. 
During the past year ten new members have been elected, while 
the Society has lost by death four members, namely, Mr. O. Collett, 
Mr. J. C. Mansel-Pleydell, Major-General L. Tripe, and the Rey. W. T 
Whan. Nine members have also been removed from the list owing 
either to resignation or other causes. 
The membership of the Society on December 31st, 1902, stood as 
follows :— 
Ordinary members... see anne aa ite eh 89 
Corresponding members a. sete eee neem ee 79 
Total, isso © Seas 168 
The total for the preceding year was 171. 
The financial position of the Society remains thoroughly satisfactory, 
the balance in hand at the close of the year being £26 5s. 6d., while 
in addition the sum of £50 still remains invested in Metropolitan 
x per cent. Stock. The reduction of the balance in hand at the 
beginning of the year by some £18, is accounted for by the increased 
expenditure incurred in printing the ‘ Proceedings,’ owing mainly to 
the size of the two papers mentioned below. 
Since the last Annual General Meeting three more numbers of the 
‘ Proceedings’ have been issued, forming the first half of Vol. V, 
comprising 257 pages, with six plates, a frontispiece (portrait of 
Martin F. Woodward), and numerous illustrations in the text. 
Mr. Pace’s reference list of the names of Columbeilide alone occupied 
119 pages; this and Mr. Gude’s ‘Synopsis of the genus Streptazxis’ 
form two solid contributions to Molluscan literature of very great value. 
Your thanks are due to the following gentlemen, who have borne 
a portion of the cost of illustration, or have assisted by furnishing 
drawings :—Dr. W. T. Blanford, G. C. Crick, H. Fulton, Lieut.-Col. 
H. H. Godwin-Austen, G. K. Gude, R. B. Newton, 8. Pace, H. B. 
Preston, E. A. Smith, E. R. Sykes, W. M. Webb, and Dr. H. 
Woodward, 
Further, your thanks are specially due to the Council of the Linnean 
Society, through whose kindness the Society has been permitted, as 
in previous years, to hold its meetings in Burlington House.”
