b. Expenditure, 

 The ordinary expenditure of the Society in 1889, under 

 which is reckoned every item necessary to keep the whole 

 establishment in a state of efficiency, was £22,683 4s, Sd. 

 This was in excess of the corresponding amount paid in 

 1888 by the sum of £l 24.3 7*. \\d. ; the excess being due 

 to the larger amounts spent on the Society's scientific 

 publications, and on repairs and renewals in the Gardens, 

 which seemed to be justified by the favourable state of 

 the receipts. Besides the ordinary expenditure, a sum 

 amounting altogether to £545 7«. was devoted to certain 

 special works and objects, which will be explained in 

 subsequent portions of the Report. These were as fol-
