year, such arrangement is far from satisfactory and cannot be 

 continued indefinitely. 



The Treasurer will lay before you his Statement of Accounts, 

 which shows a balance in hand of ^17 18s yd, in which is 

 included 18 subscriptions for 1915-16 paid in advance. But for 

 the special subscriptions received towards the publishing of last 

 year's Proceedings (.£2 2. 18s od, including /io from the Belfast 

 Natural History and Philosophical Society) the Club would have 

 been in debt, and it should be borne in mind that the balance in 

 hand at the end of each year should be ample to cover the cost 

 of publication of the Proceedings for that year, for which the 

 present balance is not sufficient. 



The Librarian's Report, and those of the Botanical, Geological, 

 Zoological, Archaeological and Junior Sections, and that of the 

 Prizes Sub-Committee will be submitted to you. 



Your Committee desire to return their thanks to Mr. Thomas 

 Rule, Mr. F. A. Heron, Mr. John Ridges and the Committee of 

 the Prospect Hill School for their kind attention and hospitality 

 during the Summer Excursions ; to Mr. F. W. Henry for the use 

 of the Carlton Hall for the Conversazione ; to the Press and 

 the various Railway Companies for their aid in reporting and 

 carrying out the work of the Club ; and also to the kindred 

 Societies and Public Bodies who have favoured us with their 

 publications.

Librarian's Report. 



An exchange of Proceedings with " The Vale of Derwent 

 Naturalists Field Club" and "The Prehistoric Society of East 

 Anglia " has been arranged. The latter would be helpful to those 

 who are interested in the primitive type of flint implements that 

 Mr. Welch is working on at present.
