It will be observed that the number of members admitted during 

 the past year falls short of those admitted the last year by 358. This 

 may be accounted for in consequence of the raising of the a'dmission 

 fee and annual dues, and likewise from the fact that only live life 

 members were recommended during the last exhibition in place of 

 416 received during the exhibition of 1870. 



The following is the number of members belonging to the Ameri- 

 can Institute :
