134 ANNUAL MEETING. 
The Council desires to urge the great advantage it would 
be were Members to remit their Subscriptions during the 
first half of the year, as a large proportion already do. Were 
this the rule with all, the whole machinery of the Institute 
would work with an ease that would greatly promote its 
success. Forms for the payment of the Subscriptions 
through a banker are used by a large number, and may 
always be had. 
10. The arrears of subscriptions are as follow :— 
1882. 1883. 1884. 1885. 1886. 1887. 1888. 1889.
