The Society's Balance Sheet.



THE SOCIETY’S BALANCE SHEET.



One of the matters that arose for discussion at the Council

Meeting in the summer was the question of printing the Balance

Sheet and issuing it annually to Members, a practice which was

formerly adopted but which has been discontinued for many years.


The Council, however, was of the opinion that it was un¬

necessary to incur the expense involved, unless there was a widely

expressed feeling on the part of Members that it should be done.

They decided, however, that a copy of the Balance Sheet should be

kept by the Hon. Business Secretary at his office in the Zoological

Gardens, and any Member of the Society who wished to see it could

do so by giving the Secretary forty-eight hours notice of his-

intention to call. R. I. POCOCK.



THE MEMBERS’ DINNER.



Members of the Society will recollect that a proposal to hold

a Dinner in London after the Council Meeting at the end of January

or the beginning of February has been under consideration. Since,

however, Members cannot be expected to pledge themselves so long

beforehand, the matter has been left in the hands of the Business

Secretary who will make the necessary arrangements, provided a

sufficient number of Members express their willingness to attend.


The date and other particulars of the proposed dinner will be

announced in the January issue of the Magazine, and Members will

then be invited to let the Secretary know if they wish to be present.


R. I. Pocock,


Hon. Business Secretary.
