100 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



carried this Institution througli the troubles and difficulties of 

 its early days. There is a credit balance at the bankers of 

 £186 3s. 9d. as against £180 6s. 7d. of last year. This balance 

 will, however, probably be much reduced during the present 

 year by the contemplated outlay of the council in painting and 

 renovating the interior of the building, a work they had hoped 

 and desired to accomplish many years since. 



The Council desire to add to this Report the expression of 

 their gratitude to the Secretaries, Mr. H. Michell Whitley, and 

 Major Parkyn. To Mr. Whitley is due the very satisfactory 

 manner in which the Journal is conducted, and he has also 

 contributed thereto much valuable matter. To Major Parkyn 

 the thanks of the Institution are due for the great care and 

 diligence with which he has managed the affairs of the society, 

 especially in connection with the main details whii^h could only 

 be conducted by one resident among us. The Library also has 

 been most materially benehtted by the care with which the 

 serial volumes have been brought to a state of perfection and 

 continuity, which needed much patience for its completion. 



The President being elected for two years has still one 

 year more to serve. 



The Council propose the election of the following gentlemen 

 as Vice-Presidents for the ensuing year : Dr. Jago, F.E.S., 

 Canon Moor, H. M. Jeffery, F.E.8., Warington W. Smyth, 

 F.E.S., and A. P. Vivian, P.G.S. And for the Council : Canon 

 Cornish, Mr. Howard Fox, Mr. Hamilton James, Mr. H. S. 

 Leverton, Eev. A. H. Malan, Mr. R. M. Paul, Mr. E. G. Spry, 

 Eev. A. E. Tomlinson, Mr Tweedy, and Mr. Whitley. As
