ACCOUNTS FOR 1910. 



The Honorary Treasurer, Mr. L. H. Savile, presented the Statement of 

 Accounts for 1910, which, he remarked, continue to show fairly satisfac- 

 tory results. The subscriptions received during the year amounted to 

 Rs. 22,872-15-10, which included Rs. 827-10-0 for subscriptions in arrears 

 and Rs. 3,089-9-4 for subscriptions for 1911 and 1912 paid in advance. 



The entrance fees amounted to Rs. 2,690, which is slightly less than last 

 year. 285 new members were elected as compared with 294 in 1909. 



It was resolved that the accounts be passed subject to the usual audit 

 and a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Savile, the Honorary Treasurer.

APPEAL FOR FUND FOR MAMMAL COLLECTION. 



The Secretary said that although some members had kindly subscribed 

 to the Society's appeal for funds to enable them to make a collection of 

 mammals, he hoped that many more would send in subscriptions. If each 

 member gave Rs. 10 only per annum for two years the whole amount would 

 be subscribed as the Society had more than 1,500 members. One member 

 had promised to subscribe Rs. 10 per mensem until further notice and such 

 help was greatly appreciated. One of the original objects of the Society 

 was the promotion of the study of Zoology, and therefore he hoped that by 

 the next meeting he would be in a position to announce many more sub- 

 scriptions. 



PAPER READ. 



Mr. H. Maxwell Lefroy, Imperial Entomologist to the Government of 

 India, then read a paper on "The Progress of Entomology in India. " The 

 paper will be published in the Society's Journal. The meeting then ter- 

 minated with a vote of thanks to Mr. Lefroy for his interesting paper.
