Statement of Income and Expenditure 



From January ist to October 13th, 1906. 



During the past year 280 new country records have been registered, an increase 

 of 61 over the previous year. In response to the appeal made in last year's report 

 a numljer of Scottish shells have been submitted for registration, but much remains 

 to be done before even an approximate idea of the distribution in Scotland of many 

 species can be formed. From England, Wales and Ireland many consignments of 

 shells have been examined and a considerable advance in our knowledge of some 

 species has resulted. It is hoped that during the ensuing year other gaps may be 

 filled, and with this end in view the cooperation of every member is invited. For 

 assistance d\iring the past year the Recorder is particularly indebted to Messrs. 

 J. E. Cooper, J. C. Dacie, J. D. Dean, A. Frew, P. II. Grierson, J. W. Jackson, 

 A. Mayfield, J. Roseburgh, E. W. Swanton, J. W. Vaughan, and R. Welch.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LEEDS BRANCH, 



For the Year Ending December 9th, 1905. 



The President for the year was Mr. A. H. Pawson, J. P., P\L.S., F.G.S., 

 with Messrs. F. Booth and J. E. Crowther as joint Hon. Secretaries. An increase 

 of one member elected, brought the number on the books up to twelve. 



Eleven meetings were held during the year, five in the Institute of Science and 

 Art, Leeds, and the Church Institute, Bradford, respectively, and six meetings held 

 in the field, the average attendance of members being six. The enforced absence 

 of Mr. W. Denison Roebuck, F. L.S., who was abroad the whole year, and the 

 President's removal from the district, affected the average, which was very good 

 considering the wide range of places visited in the Summer for the field Meetings, 

 and the difficulty members had in getting there. 



In regard to the six meetings held in the field, the first one was held at 

 Salterhebble for an investigation of the Salterhebble Canal. The members on this 

 occasion had the pleasure of adding another locality to the few Yorkshire ones, by 

 securing specimens oi Spharium pallidiuii.
