George William Lamplugh, F.K.S., President, 

 in the Chair. 



Report of the Council for 1918. 



During the year under review, 32 new Fellows were elected into 

 the Society (the same as in 1917), and 2 Fellows were readmitted. 

 Of the Fellows elected in 1918, 24 paid their Admission Fees 

 before the end of that year, and of the Fellows who had been 

 elected in the previous year, 8 paid their Admission Fees in 1918, 

 making the total accession of new Fellows during the past year 

 amount to 32 (3 more than in 1917). 



Allowing for the loss of 65 Fellows (12 resigned, 39 deceased, 

 and 14 removed), it will be seen that there is a decrease of 33 

 in the number of Fellows (as compared with a decrease of 11 in 

 1917). 



The total number of Fellows is, therefore, at present 1189, 

 made up as follows: — Compounders 213 (13 less than in 1917); 

 Contributing Fellows 962 (27 less than in 1917) ; and Non- 

 Contributing Fellows 14 (1 less than in 1917). 



Turning now to the Lists of Foreign Members and Foreign 

 Correspondents, the Council has to regret the loss during the past 

 vear of Dr. Gr. K. Gilbert and Prof. A. Rothpletz, Foreign 

 Members, and Dr. S. W. Williston and Dr. C. K. Van Hise, 

 Foreign Correspondents. It will be remembered that, in the List 

 of Foreign Members at the end of 1917. there were four vacancies, 

 and eight in that of Foreign Correspondents ; and, as no elections 

 were held to make up the numbers during the past year, there are, 

 at present, six vacancies in the List of Foreign Members and ten 

 vacancies in that of Foreign Correspondents. 



With regard to the Income and Expenditure of the Society 

 during 1918, the figures set forth in detail in the Balance-Sheet 

 may be summarized as follows : — The actual Receipts (excluding 

 the Balance of £62 Is. Id. brought forward from the previous 

 year) amounted to £2980 13s. 9i/., being £317 19s. 9d. more 

 than the estimated Income. 



On the other hand, the Expenditure during the same vear 

 amounted to £2934 17*. 10r/., being £222 3s. lOd. more than 

 the estimated Expenditure, and the vear closed with a Balance in 

 hand of £107 17s. 6d. 



As regards the publications of the Society, the Council has 

 to announce the completion of Yol. LXXIII of the Quarterly 

 Journal (1917).
