lliCHAED Dixon Oldham, F.R.S., President, 

 in the Chair. 



Repout of the Council foe, 1920. 



DuEiNG the year under review, 80 new Fellows were elected into 

 the Society (1 less than in 1919). 0£ the Fellows elected in 

 1920, 50 paid their Admission Fees before the end of that year, 

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

 15 paid their Admission Fees in 1920, making the total accession of 

 new Fellows during the past year amount to 65 (6 less than in 

 1919). 



Allowing for the loss of 47 Fellows (12 resigned, 33 deceased, and 

 2 removed), but adding 4 Fellows re-instated, it will be seen that 

 there is an increase of 22 in the number of Fellows (as comjmred 

 with an increase of 15 in 1919). 



The total number of Fellows is, therefore, at present 1229, made 

 up as foUoAvs : — Compounders 207 (1 less than in 1919); Con- 

 tributing Fellows 1012 (26 more than in 1919); and Non-Con- 

 tributing Fellows 10 (3 less than in 1919). 



Turning now to the Lists of Foreign Members and Foreign 

 Correspondents, the Council announces with regret the decease 

 during the past year of Prof. J. P. Iddings and Prof. Sven L. 

 Tornquist, Foreign Members, and of Prof. A. von Koenen, Foreign 

 Correspondent. These losses increase the number of vacancies in 

 the List of Foreign Members to eight, and in that of Foreign 

 Correspondents to thirteen, at December 31st, 1920. One Foreign 

 Correspondent has since resigned ; w^hile six Foreign Members 

 (Dr. F. W. Clarke, Prof. E.^ Haug, Prof. M. Lugeon, Prof. H. 

 Schardt, Dr. J. J. Sederholm, and Dr. H. S. Washington) and 

 eight Foreign Correspondents (Prof. L. Cayeux, Dr. M. Cossmann, 

 Prof. H. de Dorlodot, Dr. H. Douville, Prof. L. Duparc, Prof. J. 

 Kiser, Prof. W. Lindgren, and Prof. J. J. Stevenson) have been
