In response to the special appeal sent out in February last, a sum of ^41 13s, 6d. 

 has been received by the Treasurer, and the Council takes this opportunity of thank- 

 ing the members for the efforts made in improving the financial position of the 

 Society, which is now on a better footing than ever. Funds are, however, still much 

 needed for purposes of illustration, and any help from members for this purpose will 

 be welcome. Under the heading of " Sale of Publications," there is included a sum 

 received from the London publishers, amounting to ^24 i6s. lod. for copies of the 

 Journal sold from January, 1896, to March, 1900. The third and last payment of 

 ;^io for the purchase-money of the stock of back numbers of the Journal having been 

 paid, this item of expense will no longer appear in the accounts. The amount 

 received by the Librarian for the sale of back numbers has been only ;^i 14s. gd. 

 The cost of printing the October number of the Journal, viz., ^15 12s. 6d., has yet 

 to be paid, as well as Reprints, etc., £6 13s. 3d. These items will more than absorb 

 the balance now in the Treasurer's hands. 



The interim Balance Sheet, made up to October 25th. 1900, is appended as 

 follows : —
