It is impossible to close this record without a special 
expression of regret that the Institute should have to chronicle 
the loss of three such warm supporters,—of world-wide 
fame in science,-—as Barrande, Heer, and Wurtz; when 
such men are found in the ranks of the Institute, among 
those who declare, in the words of the title of Professor 
Stokes’s last paper read before the Institute, that there is “‘ the 
absence of real opposition between Science and Religion,” 
no other proof is needed of the value of its work.

6. THE EARLY PAYMENT OF THE YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTIONS ALWAYS 
CONTRIBUTES TO THE SUCCESS OF THE YEAR’S WORK, and is 
constantly becoming more necessary. The Treasurer’s Balance 
Sheet for the year ending December 31, 1883, audited by 
two speciaily-qualified unofficial Members, shows a balance 
debtor of £10. 12s. 9d., after the payment of every liability 
for the year. The amount invested in New Three per Cent. 
Annuities is £1,302. 18s. 9d.
