  The

  "Your 
  Council, 
  in 
  presenting 
  their 
  seventeenth 
  Annual 
  Report, 
  are 
  

   once 
  more 
  in 
  a 
  position 
  to 
  record 
  a 
  year 
  of 
  useful 
  work. 
  

  

  " 
  During 
  that 
  period 
  four 
  new 
  members 
  have 
  been 
  elected. 
  By 
  

   death 
  we 
  have 
  lost 
  one 
  member, 
  Miss 
  Linter 
  ; 
  three 
  more 
  have 
  

   resigned, 
  and 
  the 
  names 
  of 
  five 
  have 
  been 
  removed 
  from 
  the 
  list 
  

   according 
  to 
  Rule 
  X. 
  

  

  "The 
  membership 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  on 
  December 
  31st, 
  1909, 
  stood 
  as 
  

   follows 
  :

  "The 
  financial 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  remains 
  substantially 
  the 
  

   same 
  as 
  last 
  year, 
  but 
  in 
  order 
  not 
  to 
  hamper 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  publication 
  

   it 
  has 
  been 
  thought 
  advisable 
  to 
  cease 
  for 
  the 
  present 
  the 
  transfer 
  to 
  

   a 
  special 
  fund 
  of 
  the 
  entrance 
  and 
  composition 
  fees, 
  and 
  to 
  re-transfer 
  

   to 
  the 
  current 
  account 
  a 
  small 
  proportion 
  of 
  the 
  special 
  fund 
  created 
  

   last 
  year. 
  The 
  current 
  account, 
  therefore, 
  shows 
  a 
  balance 
  of 
  

   £1 
  5s. 
  lid., 
  while 
  there 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  balance 
  of 
  £7 
  7s. 
  standing 
  to 
  the 
  

   credit 
  of 
  the 
  special 
  composition 
  fund. 
  Furthermore, 
  the 
  Society 
  still 
  

   holds 
  the 
  sum 
  of 
  £50 
  invested 
  in 
  Metropolitan 
  2J 
  per 
  cent, 
  stock. 
  

  

  " 
  During 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  three 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  ' 
  Proceedings' 
  have 
  been 
  

   issued 
  as 
  usual. 
  They 
  form 
  the 
  last 
  half 
  of 
  Vol. 
  VIII, 
  and 
  consist 
  of 
  

   200 
  pages 
  of 
  text, 
  8 
  plates, 
  and 
  39 
  text-figures. 
  

  

  "The 
  Society 
  is 
  indebted 
  to 
  the 
  following 
  gentlemen 
  who 
  have 
  

   kindly 
  contributed 
  towards 
  the 
  cost 
  of 
  the 
  illustrations, 
  or 
  have 
  fur- 
  

   nished 
  drawings 
  or

  Without 
  such 
  assistance 
  it 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  

   impossible 
  to 
  illustrate 
  the 
  ' 
  Proceedings 
  ' 
  so 
  fully. 
  

  

  " 
  Further, 
  the 
  thanks 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  are 
  especially 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  

   Council 
  of 
  the 
  Linnean 
  Society, 
  through 
  whose 
  kindness 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   permitted, 
  as 
  in 
  former 
  years, 
  to 
  hold 
  its 
  meetings 
  in 
  Burlington 
  

   House."
