OF THE 
Dumfriesshire and Galloway 
Natural History & Antiquarian Society.

14th October, 1921. 
Annual Meeting. 
Chairman—Mr G. MacLeop Stewart, V.-P. 
The Reports of the Secretary and Treasurer for the past 
session were submitted, the former having to record the deaths 
of the following members of the Society: Mr T. G. Arm- 
strong, Mr T. L. Kennan; Mr J. C. R. Macdonald, W.S. ; 
Provost William Nicholson, Mr John Symons, and Mr John 
Copland. In the former year 218 members had paid a sub- 
scription of 5s, whereas in the year being closed 229 sub- 
scriptions at 1os had been received, so that the raising of the 
subscription had not apparently acted adversely on the 
Society. 
The Treasurer’s Report showed a substantial balance on 
hand, due partially to the account for printing the 
Transactions not yet being due. 
The Chairman, on behalf of the Council, moved the 
election of office-bearers and members of Council (see p. 3). 
The President then took the chair, and read as his Presi- 
dential Address, extracts from his supplement to ‘‘ The Birds 
of Dumfriesshire ’’ covering the ten years which had elapsed 
since its publication.* 
* As a large amount of matter has accumulated since the 
reading of this paper, I have completed the collection to Ist 
December, 1922.—H. S. G.
