With regard to the ordinary expenditure of the Society 
the Council have but few special remarks to offer. As the 
nuinber of larger animals in the Gardens increases, and the 
buildings devoted to their exhibition are enlarged from 
time to time, so, it is obvious, must the expenditure con- 
sequent upon this increase of the Society’s operations be 
augmented. But with an income of upwards of £20,000 
entirely arising from ordinary sources, and every prospect 
of its maintenance at that figure, the Council cannot think 
that the expenditure of £16,000 on the ordinary proceed- 
ings of the Society will be regarded as excessive. 
It remains therefore to speak of the sum of £9283 15s. 
4d., which was incurred under the head of extraordinary 
expenditure in the year 1863. This may be divided into 
four heads, as shown in the following account —
