ANNUAL REPORT. 



The present is the forty-first Annual Report of the Society. Since our last annual 

 meeting we have lost five members by death, and seven by resignation, making a 

 total loss of twelve. Ten new members have been elected, our membership now 

 standing at 309, including ten Honorary Members. The names of several mem- 

 bers have been submitted to the Council with a view to being struck off the roll 

 by reason of non-payment of subscriptions {vide Rule 4), but the Council has 

 withheld action in the matter in the hope that most, if not all, of the subscriptions 

 will be forthcoming before the end of the year. 



The Council would call emphatic attention to the matter of subscriptions, as the 

 Society has been put to considerable loss and inconvenience by the neglect of 

 members to forward their subscriptions as they become due. 



The deaths that the Society has to deplore are those of the Rev. L. J. Shackle- 

 ford, who. passed away in April last, after a long and severe illness; the Rev. 

 Prof H. M. Gwatkin, D.D., M.A. , a former President of the Society and a 

 leading authority on molluscan radulae ; Mr. E. G. M. Sturt (Middlesex Regiment), 

 killed in action last year ; Dr. H. F. Becker ; and Mr. A. Wood. The Society 

 also learns of the recent death of Dr. Henry Laver, a former member. 



Obituary notices of the Rev. L. J. Shackleford and of Dr. H. F. Becker have 

 already appeared in ihe Journal of Conchology. Mr. Shackleford bequeathed his fine 

 collection of Margindlida to the Manchester Museum, where they are available 

 for study by ihe members of this Society.
