PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONCHOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 311 



ANNUAL REPORT. 



The Council in presenting (.heir Report for the year 1890 have to 

 congratulate the Memliers on a 3'ear of steady and continued progress. 



The Membership has increased Ijy the election of twenty new Members, 

 seven lionorary Life Members, and thirteen Ordinary Members. Three 

 Members have been lost by death (F. Akers, S. A. Adamson, and T. W. 

 Pocock), two have resigned, and three whose addresses have been for some 

 time unknown have had their names removed from the roll. This leaves 

 the existing Membership at 199, of whom ten are Honorary Life Members, 

 six are Ordinary Members resident abroad, and 183 Ordinary Members on 

 the home list. The steady increase in the Membership is a source of satis- 

 faction as demonstrating that the Society has l;y no means reached its 

 maximum development, and that both the Society and the Journal possess 

 the confidence of the general body of Conchologists of the British Isles. 



The Meetings have been held regularly at the beginning of each month, 

 the only omission being that of the September Meeting, which could not be 

 held on account of the meetings in I^eeds of the British Association. 



Numerous specimens have been exhibited at the meetings, which have 

 all been of an interesting character.
