  "la 
  presenting 
  their 
  twenty-fifth 
  Annual 
  lleport 
  your 
  Council 
  

   have 
  much 
  pleasure 
  in 
  again 
  recording 
  a 
  year 
  of 
  continued 
  progress. 
  

   The 
  papers 
  printed 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  have 
  maintained 
  their 
  

   general 
  standard 
  of 
  excellence. 
  

  

  "It 
  is 
  with 
  deep 
  regret 
  your 
  Council 
  have 
  to 
  record 
  the 
  loss 
  by 
  

   death 
  of 
  two 
  members: 
  Mr. 
  Gt. 
  C. 
  Crick, 
  F.G.S., 
  F.Z.S., 
  and 
  Dr. 
  T. 
  H. 
  

   May 
  ; 
  while 
  four 
  member's 
  have 
  resigned. 
  

  

  "During 
  the 
  year 
  six 
  new 
  members 
  have 
  been 
  elected, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  

   membership 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  on 
  December 
  31st, 
  1917, 
  stood 
  as 
  

   follows: 
  — 
  

  

  Ordinary 
  members 
  ..... 
  66 
  

   Corresponding 
  members 
  .... 
  84 
  

  

  Total

  150 
  

  

  " 
  It 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  regretted 
  that 
  the 
  financial 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  is 
  

   unsatisfactory 
  and 
  calls 
  for 
  immediate 
  attention. 
  Althougli 
  the 
  

   year 
  ends 
  with 
  a 
  balance 
  of 
  £41 
  16s. 
  3d., 
  liabilities 
  to 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  

   £40 
  0«. 
  Sd. 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  immediately 
  met, 
  so 
  that 
  only 
  a 
  sum 
  of 
  

   £1 
  15s. 
  7d. 
  is 
  available 
  with 
  which 
  to 
  commence 
  the 
  year. 
  Our 
  

   heavy 
  printing 
  accounts, 
  now 
  encumbered 
  with 
  an 
  extra 
  war 
  charge 
  

   of 
  30 
  per 
  cent, 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  expensive 
  items, 
  are 
  unable 
  to 
  be 
  fully 
  

   discharged 
  within 
  the 
  year 
  on 
  the 
  present 
  low 
  membership 
  fee. 
  

   Suggestions 
  will, 
  therefore, 
  be 
  placed 
  before 
  members 
  as 
  early 
  as 
  

   possible 
  to 
  consider 
  the 
  desirability 
  of 
  increasing 
  all 
  annual 
  sub- 
  

   scriptions 
  and 
  entrance 
  fees, 
  and 
  thus 
  endeavouring 
  to 
  place 
  the 
  

   .Society 
  upon 
  a 
  sounder 
  financial 
  basis.
