Finance. 



The Accounts of the Society are shown in Statement No. 1, in the 

 Appendix, under the usual heads. 



Statement No. 8 contains the Balance Sheet of the Society and of 

 the different funds administered through it. 



The Budget Estimate for 1901 was taken at the following figures : 

 Receipts Rs. 17,430, Expenditure Rs. 23,326-4 (Ordinary Rs. 16,126-4, 

 Extraordinary Rs. 7,200). 



Taking into account only the ordinary items of receipts and ex- 

 penditure for the year 1901, the actual results have been : Receipts 

 Rs. 17,602-4-6, Expenditure Rs. 11,397-12-5. 



The receipts thus show an increase of Rs. 172-4-6, while the ex- 

 penditure shows a saving of Rs. 4,728-7-7 on the Budget Estimate. 



There is an increase in Receipts under the heads of " Subscriptions," 

 " Sale of Publications," and "Government Allowances." Subscriptions were 

 estimated at Rs. 7,000, while the actuals were Rs. 7,995-14, the excess 

 being due to a large number of members being elected during the last 

 year. Owing to heavy purchases of the Society's publications by Messrs. 

 Thacker, Spink and Co., " Sale of Publications " has exceeded by 

 Rs. 279-3-3. A further grant of Rs. 1,000 by the Government of India 

 towards carrying on the work of the International Catalogue of Scientific 

 Literature having been received, there is thus an increase of Rs. 1,000 

 under the head " Government Allowances." 



The difference between the estimated and actual receipts under the 

 head " Interest on Investments" is due to the interest for the second 

 half of 1901 being credited by the Bank of Bengal on 2nd January 1902 

 instead of 31st December 1901. The heading " Miscellaneous " shows a 

 very sligiit decrease. 



On the Expenditure side, the items of " Salaries," "Pension," 

 " Freight," "Meetings," " Contingencies," and " Printing Circulars, &c.,"
