 friend in Mr. F. Justen, and two other members, C. F. Ancey and 

 T. Leighton ; and is also the poorer by the retirement of three other 

 members. 



The membership of the Society on December 31st, 1906, stood as 

 follows : — 



Ordinary members 82 



Corresponding members 82 



Total 164 



At the end of the year 1905 the total membership was 161, and of 

 1904, 162. 



The financial condition 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 £24 lis. &d., while the sum of £50 still 

 remains invested in Metropolitan 2h per cent. Stock. 



As usual, three parts of the ' Proceedings ' have been pi:blished 

 since the last Annual Meeting. They consist of 200 pages, 17 plates 

 (an unusuall)' large number), and 44 text-figures, and form the first
