It must be gratifying to the Fellows to observe that the 
augmentation of their numbers, which has been going on 
steadily for the past eleven years, has not yet reached its 
limit. The corresponding number of Members on the Ist 
of January, 1869, was 2966; so that the increase during 
the past year was 55; and the strength of the Society is 
greater now than it has been at any time since the year 
1830. 
In the subjoined Table is given a comparative statement 
of the Elections, Deaths, Resignations, and Removals which 
have taken place during the past Ten years, together 
with the number of Fellows and Annual Subscribers at the 
end of each year :—
