There are 182 members of the Society, of whom 19 are honorary 
and 8 life members. Ten new members were elected during the 
year. The Society sustained a loss by the removal from the 
town of two active members, Mr Robert M‘Glashan and the

by the accession to our working membership of Mr Peter Gray,
