55 
ful results of the last financial year, which must be re- 
garded as on the whole the most successful of any of those 
that have passed since the foundation of the Society. 
After payment of all the ordinary expenditure of the 
year, and devoting a sum of £5900 to extraordinary ex- 
penditure, there has remained a surplus sufficient to 
allow an addition of upwards of £3750 to be made to the 
Reserve-funds. This excellent result will, as the Council 
believe, be regarded by the Fellows as a subject of sincere 
satisfaction. 
In conducting the Society’s affairs to their present state 
of prosperity, the Council have to acknowledge the assist- 
ance they have received from the Committee of Publication, 
and from the gentlemen who have served upon the Com- 
mittees of Finance and Audit. 
Signed (for the Council), 
P, L. ScLaTEr, 
Secretary.
