xiv Annual Report. [February, 1910. 



The Bureau to date has thus a small profit on subscriptions ; 

 but this small profit will be turned into a deficit by another 

 year of an unfavourable rate of exchange, to avoid which 

 the Council of the Society has decided that the discount, in 

 generosity hitherto allowed to the subscribers, must in future 

 go towards the upkeep of the Bureau ; and from the seventh 

 annual issue a complete set will cost in India Rs. 270 instead 

 of Rs. 255. 



The question of the future of the Catalogue is to come 

 before the International Council in London at an early date : 

 this is a consequence of the unremunerativeness of the whole 

 undertaking. 



The following gentlemen assisted the Regional Bureau in 

 making and checking the index slips : — 



Dr. N. Annandale. 

 Mr. I. H. BurkilL 

 Professor E. P. Harrison. 

 Mr. D. Hooper. 



Mr. H. Maxwell Lefroy. 

 Major L. Rogers. 

 Mr. E. Vredenburs.
