the near future, and that in five years a new book should be issued 

 on the lines of Praeger's " Flora of the West of Ireland." In 

 order to carry out the latter part of this scheme it would be 

 necessary to have at least ^100 in hand, and it was suggested 

 that a sum of ^20 should be annually laid aside for this purpose. 

 The recommendation of the sub-committee was unanimously 

 agreed to by the Committee, and a War Savings Certificate for 

 ^62 has been purchased as a nucleus of the fund. 



The Committee have organised a new Section for Associate 

 Members, and you will be asked to elect a Secretary for it. 



Dr. Charlesworth represented the Club at the British 

 Association Committee of Corresponding Societies and will 

 present his report. 



The Treasurer will lay before you his Statement of Accounts, 

 which shows a balance in hand of ^49 17s 7d. This balance 

 includes 26 subscriptions for 191 7-18 paid in advance. 



The Reports of the Librarian and of the various Sections of 

 the Club and that of the Prizes Sub-Committee will be presented. 



In conclusion, your Committee desire to return their thanks 

 to Dr. John Campbell and Mrs. Campbell, Mr. F. J. Bigger, The 

 Marquis of Londonderry, Major-General Montgomery, Mr. Bolas, 

 Mrs. Murray, Rev. M. H. F. Collis, and Lord Massereene for 

 hospitality and permission to visit their demesnes on several of 

 the Summer Excursions; to the Press for publishing reports of the 

 Excursions and Meetings ; to the Superintendents of the Railway 

 Companies for travelling facilities ; and to the Kindred Societies 

 and Public Bodies who have favoured us with their Publications.
