During the year under review 19 Ordinary Members were elected, 

 10 withdrew, 4 died, 3 were removed from the list under Rule 40, being 

 more than 3 years absent from India, and 2 were struck off under Rule 

 9, not having paid their admission fees. The name of one member was 

 replaced as he withdrew his letter of resignation under Rule 34. The total 

 number of members at the close of 1903 was thus 335 against 334 at the 

 preceding year ; of these 127 were Resident, 126 Non-Resident, 15 Foreign, 

 21 Life, 45 Absent from India, and 1 Special Non- Subscribing Member, as

 year we have to regret, were Mr. M. N. Chatterji, Mr. W. B. Colville, Mr.

 there having been no casualties : their numbers stand at 4, 1, and 18, res- 

 pectively. 



No members compounded for their subscription during the year.
