I'onsonby. Doniitions to the cabinet from Messrs. John I^inton, Chas. Oldham, 

 F. Taylor, and ihc Rev. R.W.J. Smart. Donations to the library (in addition to. the 

 periodicals and transactions acquired in exchange for the Journal) have been received 

 from Messrs. Chas. Creighton, G. K. Gude, H. Wallis Kew, E. D. Marquand, R. 

 E. C. Stearns, and Albert Wood. 



The List of Societies and Institutions to which the Journal is forwarded has been 

 revised and now includes forty different addresses in all parts of the world. 



The Balance Sheet for the year 1900 having been audited by Messrs. Chas. 

 Oldham and E. C. Stump was presented to the March meeting and published in the 

 Journal (see p. 55 aiitea). The Treasurer has prepared an interim Balance Sheet 

 and statement on the Society's present financial position, which the Council has 

 ordered to be laid before the Annual Meeting. 



In conclusion the Council desires to remind the members that the publication of 

 the Journal in its present form and scope absorbs almost the whole of the Society's 

 income, leaving very little for illustrations and working expenses. They therefore 

 desire to impress upon the members the importance of enlisting new recruits if 

 the Society's work is to be maintained at the level it has now attained.
