 ACCOUNTS FOR 1905. 



Mr. N. C. Macleod, the Honorary Treasurer, placed before the meeting the 

 accounts for the year ending 31st December 1905, showing an income of 

 Rs. 18,106-9-8 and an expenditure of Rs. 15,302-0-9, and a cash balance carried 

 forward of Rs. 6,188-1-4. This balance was rather larger than usual but since 

 then Rs. 2,000 had been invested as representing the proportion of subscrip- 

 tions received from those who had* commuted their annual subscriptions by 

 becoming life members. No such investment had been made in 1905. The 

 accounts were accepted subject to the usual audit, and a vote of thanks was 

 passed to the Honorary Treasurer. 



The Committee gave notice that they propose to alter Rule V. (Life Mem- 

 bership) making the sum payable for commuting the annual subscription 

 Rs. 200 instead of Rs. 150. 



The Superintendent of the Victoria Gardens exhibited a quantity of stones 

 weighing about 2 lbs. 2 oz., which had been found on post-mortem examin- 

 ation inside the stomach of a young cassowary. One of the stones was about 

 2 inches across and was found to be obstructing the intestine and this was 

 probably the cause of death.
