ANNUAL GEXEBAL MEETING, 



February 20th, 1914. 



Dr. Atjbkey Stkahan, F.R.S., President, 

 in the Chair. 



Eepoet of the Council foe 1913. 



Dtjeixg the year under review 65 new Fellows were elected into 

 the Society (2 more than in 1912). Of the 65 Fellows elected in 

 1913, 48 paid their Admission Fees before the end of that year. 

 Of the Fellows who had been elected in the previous year, 17 paid 

 their Admission Fees in 1913, making the total accession of new 

 Fellows during the year under review amount to 65 (8 more than 

 in 1912). 



Deducting from this number a loss of 44 Fellows (17 resigned, 

 24 deceased, and 3 removed from the List, under Bye-Laws, 

 Sect. VI, Art. 5), it will be seen that there is an increase of 21 in 

 the number of Fellows (as compared with an increase of 5 in 1912 

 and a decrease of 5 in 1911). 



The total Number of Fellows is, therefore, now 1320, made up 

 as follows: — Compounders, 245 (2 less than in 1912); Contributing 

 Fellows, 1057 (26 more than in 1912) ; and Non- Contributing 

 Fellows, 18 (3 less than in 1912). 



Turning to the Lists of Foreign Members and Foreign Corre- 

 spondents, the Council recall with regret the loss during the past 

 year of Prof. A. Baltzer, Prof. H. Credner, and Prof. A. Fritsch, 

 Foreign Members ; as also of Prof. Igino Cocchi, Foreign Corre- 

 spondent. It will be remembered that there were three vacancies 

 in the List of Foreign Correspondents at the end of 1912 : two 

 of these were subsequently filled by the election of Prof. JEmile 

 Haug and Dr. P. J. Holmquist. There now remain three vacancies 

 in the List of Foreign Members and two in that of Foreign 

 Correspondents. 



With regard to the Income and Expenditure of the Society during 

 1913, the figures set forth in detail in the Balance-Sheet may be 

 summarized as follows : — The actual Receipts (excluding the Balance 

 of £641 2s. 3d. brought forward from the previous year) amounted 

 to £3,367 8s. lid., being £219 8s. lid. more than the estimated 

 Income. On the other hand, the total Expenditure during the 

 same year amounted to £3,137 12s. Id., being £10 7s. lid. less 

 than the estimated Expenditure for the year, and £229 16s. lOd. 

 less than the actual Receipts, the year closing with a Balance in 

 hand of £871 3s. 9d.
