Eepoet or THE CoryciL foe 1921. 



DrEry& the year under review oQ new Fellows were elected into 

 the Society (2-i less than in 1920;i. Of the Fellows elected in 

 1921, 4-5 paid theii- Admission Fees before that end of that year, 

 and, of the Fellows who had been elected in the previous year, 

 26 paid theii" Admission Fees in 1921, making the total accession 

 of new Fellows dm'ing the past vear amount to 71 (7 more than 

 in 1920). 



Allowing for the loss of oS FeUows (17 resigned, 35 deceased, 

 and 6 removed), but adding 1 Fellow re-instated, it will be seen 

 that there is an increase of 11: in the number of FeUows (as com- 

 pared with an increase of 21 in 1920). 



The total number of Fellows is, therefore, at present 1243, 

 made up as foUows : Compounders 198 (9 less than in 1920) ; 

 Contributing Fellows 1036 (2-4 more than m 1920) ; and Xon- 

 Contributing Fellows 9 1 1 less than in 1920).

 twelve vacancies in the list of Foreign Correspondents.

 vestments and ti'ansfer fi'oni the Sorby and Hudleston Bequests 

 and from the PrestAvich and Barlow- Jameson Funds. 



In the estimates for the eui-rent year it has been possible to 

 establish a balance between ordinary income and expenditui-e, and 

 to provide an increased allotment for the Quarterly Jom-nal. Of 

 special expenditure there are still outstanding certain commitments, 

 amounting to about £450, which may have to be met dming the 

 year by realization of part of the invested funds of the Society, 

 or in some other manner, as may be decided by the Fellows at a 

 Special Greneral Meeting.
