This decrease in the total number of Members, compared with last year has 
been occasioned, (irrespective of losses by death or removal), by striking off the 
names of a large number from the roll, who have persisted, for an unreasonable 
length of time, in ignoring the Treasurer's claims upon them, and neither paid 
their subscriptions nor sent in their resignations.
