treasurer's report. 



255 



The usual monthly meetings have l)een held at the Manchester Museum, and, 

 notwithstanding the adverse circumstances caused by the war, they have been 

 fairly well attended, and great interest has been .'hown in the general and special 

 exhibits. Of the latter, the following groups have been dealt with and discussed : 

 Helicophania, Rhysola, Ariophaiita, Ohba, Vifiiiia,2ir\A Helicarion. 



Some twenty-six papers and notes have been read, some of which have aheadv 

 been printed in the Journal, including obituary notices of Mr. E. K. Smith and 

 Mr. T- Ponsonby-Fane, whose deaths were mentioned in the last Annual Keport. 



Owing to the increased cost of paper and of printing, caused by the war, the 

 Council has deemed it advisable to curtail the issue of the Jovrual, and decided 

 that, for the present, only three numbers per annum should be published. The 

 Council has also decided that all authors wishing to have illustrations to their papers 

 must be prepared to meet the expense of the same. 



The Council again desires to express its high appreciation of the important ser- 

 vices rendered to their country by members of the Society in both the Army and 

 the Navy, and to wish them a safe and speedy return. 



RECORDER'S REPORT. 



The Hon. Recorder reports that the work of record and registration has been 

 steadily carried on. thanks to the public spirit and kindness of numerous members 

 and other observers. Steady progress is being made with a view to the publication 

 of the Census up to date, in accordance with a circular issued by the President, to 

 which there was a good financial response to cover the cost of printing. The Hon. 

 Recorder wishes, however, to appeal strongly to all workers to let him have their 

 full assistance. There are doubtless numerous specimens both in public and private 

 collections which would fill up blanks. More particularly is this the case with regard 

 to Ireland, and the Hon. Recorder would be grateful to all Irish workers who would 

 respond to this appeal. He is publishing at intervals in the "Scottish Naturalist " 

 authenticated lists for various counties, of which those for Easterness, Elginshire, 

 Main Argyll. Wigtownshire and Kirkcudbrightshire have already appeared. He is 

 willing to do this for English, Welsh, and Irish counties if suitable journals are 

 available.
