194 Canadian Record of Science. 



Keport of Treasurer. 



Annexed I beg to present a detailed statement of the 

 financial affairs of the Society during the past year. 



The year commenced with a balance on hand of $26*7.41 

 and ends with cash in hand amounting to $232.44, but there 

 are outstanding accounts which will absorb this balance. 



The subscriptions from members show a list of one hun- 

 dred and thirty paying members. 



The excursion of 1885 yielded a surplus of $35.50, besides 

 a sum of $20 specially donated, to be distributed in prizes 

 among the excursionists. 



The rent from the rooms has been largely in excess of 

 that obtained in previous years. 



A special subscription list for binding books for library 

 purposes has been opened, and so far about $55 have been 

 subscribed, which, it is hoped, will be materially increased. 

 It will be observed that the publication of the Eecord of 

 Science makes a considerable draft on our funds, and in 

 addition to the amount shown in the statement, there are 

 outstanding claims against it of about $200.
