If upon the last Anniversary the increase in the number 
of Members was a subject of congratulation to the Society, 
much more so must this be the case on the present occa- 
sion, when, as will be seen by the comparative Table just 
given, such a marked addition has been made to the list. - 
During the year 1864 no less than 264 new Fellows and 
Annual Subscribers were elected—a greater number than 
have joined the Society in any single year for the last 
twenty-eight years. 
The number of Deaths since the last Anniversary has 
been 42; the number of. Resignations has been 13; and 
20 Members have been removed from the roll under the 
By-Laws for non-payment of their debts due to the 
Society. 
The present number of candidates for admission is 40, 
making a total of 117 additions to the list of Fellows since 
the 1st of January of the present year.
