 able to point, with satisfaction, to a considerable body of useful work 

 accomplished during the past year, as shown by the details of the

They have, however, to record, with deep regret, the heavy loss that 

 the Society has suffered within the year by the death of two of its 

 former Presidents (Dr. W. T. lilanford and Professor G. B. Howes),

 other hand, eight new members have been elected.

 1905 :—

At the end of the year 190-1 the total membership was 162, and of 

 1903, 165. 



The financial state of the Society is quite satisfactory ; all the 

 liabilities of the year have been discharged, and there is a balance in 

 the banking account of £29 15s. lOd., while the sum of £50 still 

 remains invested in Metropolitan 2J per cent. Stock. 



Since the last Annual Meeting three parts of the 'Proceedings' 

 have been issued, consisting of 185 pages, illustrated with 8 plates

 journal.
