The Council consider that the thanks of the Society are 

 due to those gentlemen who so kindly undertook the charge 

 of the various excursions. 



The Proceedings for 1890 and 1891 are just issued, and 

 the Council regret the delay which has taken place in bring- 

 ing these out. With regard to the Proceedings for 1892, the 

 whole of them are in MSS., and the Committee report that 

 they have been approved up to the end of April. It is antici- 

 pated that they can be issued at an early date. 



The Annual Exhibition was held on the 5th and 6th May ; 

 and although not financially satisfactory, was otherwise a 

 great success. It is estimated that the probable loss will 

 amount to about ;^ 5, and to cover this there is a guarantee 

 fund of upwards of £60. 



The Annual Dinner, which was held on the 9th February, 

 was well attended, and the thanks of the Dinner Committee 

 are tendered to those of the members and their friends who 

 so ably assisted in carrying out the musical and other 

 necessary arrangements. 



The Council, in conclusion, wish to add that they look 

 forward with confidence to the year 1893. Mr. J. JENNER 

 Weir has undertaken, if elected, to act as President ; and it 

 is anticipated that the year will be one that will long be re- 

 membered in the history of the Society.
