steady development that has taken place in the amount

Taking out in each case the exceptional Exhibition 
year, it will be observed that the average receipts for 
entrances during 1851-60 amounted to £9448, while the 
corresponding average in 1861-70 was £12,346. It thus 
appears that during the ten years last past an addition, 
amounting on the average to £2898, has been made to the 
Society’s annual Income from this one source alone. 
The total Income of the Society during the ten years 
1851-1860, was as follows :—
