  ten 
  new

  "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, 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  last 
  year, 
  to 
  re-transfer 
  to 
  

   current 
  account 
  the 
  special 
  fund 
  created 
  two 
  years 
  ago. 
  The 
  current 
  

   account 
  consequently 
  shows 
  a 
  balance 
  of 
  £3 
  12s. 
  9r/. 
  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, 
  forming 
  the 
  first 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  ninth 
  volume, 
  and 
  com- 
  

   prising 
  224 
  pages 
  illustrated 
  with 
  8 
  plates 
  and 
  58 
  text-figures. 
  

  

  " 
  The 
  following 
  gentlemen 
  have 
  kindly 
  contributed 
  towards 
  the 
  

   cost 
  of 
  illustrations, 
  or 
  have 
  supplied 
  drawings 
  or 
  photographs 
  for 
  the 
  

   text-fiaures 
  and

  Without 
  such 
  assistance 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  

   impossible 
  to 
  illustrate 
  the 
  publication 
  so 
  fully. 
  

  

  " 
  Further, 
  the 
  thanks 
  of 
  the 
  Society 
  are 
  especiallj^ 
  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."
