 During the year under review, 21 gentlemen were elected Ordinary 

 Members of the Society, 14 members withdrew, 5 died, 9 were removed 

 from the list, viz., 2 under Rule 38, as defaulters, and 7 under Rule 40, 

 being more than 3 yeai'S absent from India, and 1 member was struck off 

 on account of non-payment of his admission fee, by which his election 

 became void under Rule 9. Of the 21 members elected, 2 were old mem- 

 bers who rejoined. The total number of members at the close of 1888 

 was thus 305 against 313 at the end of the preceding year — of these 98 

 were Resident, 136 Non- Resident, 15 Foreign, 20 Life, 34 Absent from 

 India, and 2 Special Non- Subscribing members, as shown in the fol- 

 lowing table, which also gives the fluctuations in the number of Ordi- 

 nary Members for the past 6 years.

The five Ordinary Members the loss of whom by death during the 

 year we have to regret, were Mr. F. Fedden, Mr. S. S. Jones, Mr. J. 

 Hart, Mr. J. MacDonald and Surgeon Major J. J. Monteath. 



Among the Corresponding Members intimation has been received of 

 the death of Professor Holmboe of Christiania. Their number now 

 stands at 7. 



There were no casualties among the Special Honorary Centenary 

 Members, Honorary Members, and Associate Members, their numbers 

 standing at 6, 27, and 8 respectively. 



Three members compounded for their subscription as Non-Resident 

 Members, viz., Hon. Ajodhianath Pandit, Mr. A. P. Pennell, and Pnibu 

 Gaurdas Bysack, and the latter gentleman was also exempted from fur- 

 ther subscription as a Resident Member, under Rule 27, in consideration 

 of his long connection with, and former services to the Society.
