same. Mr. W. S. Littlejohn was elected a member, and Miss 

 Margaret Nicholson an associate. 



During the year ten members, two country members, and six 

 associates were elected, including one associate elected as a mem- 

 ber; one associate resigned, and two members and one associate 

 died. 



The attendances at the ordinary meetings during the year have 

 been larger than for some years past, and the interest in the work 

 of the Society has been well maintained. 



The attendances at the Council meetings were as follow : — 

 Mr. Kershaw, 10; Professor Ewart, 9; Mr. Hartnell, 9; Mr. 

 Wisewould, 8; Mr. Chapman, 8; Professor Osborne, 7; Dr. Sum- 

 mers, 7; Mr. Shephard, 7; Professor Laby, 6; *Dr. Griffith Tay- 

 lor, 6; *Dr. Baldwin, 5; Mr. Picken, 5; Mr. Dunn, 4; ^Professor 

 Skeats, 3; Mr. Herman, 3; Mr. Richardson, 2; *Dr. Green. 2; 

 ^Professor Agar, 2. 



Vacancies on the Council were caused by the death of Mr. 

 George Sweet, and the resignations of Professor Sir Baldwin 

 Spencer and Dr. Griffith Taylor, and were filled by the election of 

 Dr. Heber Green, Dr. J. M. Baldwin and Professor W. E. Agar. 



Dr. Griffith Taylor, whose resignation as Hon. Librarian fol- 

 lowed his appointment as Associate Professor of Geography in 

 the Sydney University, carried out useful work in the re-arrange- 

 ment of the library, in which he was ably assisted by the Assis- 

 tant-Librarian, Mr. L. Scott. 



During the year, about 1911 volumes and parts were added 

 to the library. Two additional book cases were purchased, and 

 placed in the Council room. These have greatly relieved the 

 overcrowded state # of the shelves, and allowed for a more con- 

 venient arrangement of the periodicals. 



Abstracts of the papers read at each meeting have been pub- 

 lished in " Science and Industry," and similar abstracts are being 

 •sent to " Nature." 



Part II. of Volume XXXII. of the " Proceedings " was issued 

 in September. The printing of this part was unfortunately de- 

 layed for some months owing to a printers' strike, followed by 

 other industrial troubles. The issue of Part I. of Volume 

 XXXIII. was consequently found impossible, and the Council 

 therefore decided that Parts I. and II. should be issued together. 



* Absent on leave, resigned, or elected during the year.
