GENERAL TREASURER’S ACCOUNT, 
1934-35 
THE resumption this year of the practice of showing in the accounts 
comparative figures for the preceding year (interrupted in consequence 
of the alteration of the Association’s accounting period) reveals an increase 
of nearly £700 in membership subscriptions.. This improvement is 
attributable mainly to the large attendance at the Aberdeen Meeting, for 
which 2,938 members enrolled, the most since 1928 (Glasgow Meeting), 
excepting the Centenary Meeting ; but also partly to the encouraging 
response to the General Officers’ appeal two years ago for regular annual 
subscriptions by banker’s order, irrespective of actual attendance at the 
annual meeting in any year. Maintenance and extension of the Associa- 
tion’s service in aid of scientific research will be best assured by a stable 
income from membership subscriptions. By March 31 this year 235 
members had adopted the labour-saving method of subscription by 
banker’s order, and I hope this promise of growth will be fulfilled, for, 
in spite of much economy and the free services of a host of volunteers, 
the need for greater financial resources still hinders the Association’s 
work.

General Treasurer.
