Annual B,eport. 



18 



On the Receipts' side, the estimate, under the head of "Subscrip- 

 tions," has been reduced by Rs. 400, taking into account the unusual loss 

 of Members during last year. "Interest on Investments" shows a 

 reduction of Rs. 332, owing to the transfer of the Government Promis- 

 sory Notes from the four per cent, to the 3^ per cent. loan. The 

 amount of Rs. 500 not having been received during the year from the 

 Government of Madras, . the item under the head of " Government Al- 

 lowances " has not been altered. 



On the Expenditure side, the items of " Lighting," " Freight," and 

 " Local Periodicals " have been slightly decreased. "Stationery" has 

 been decreased by Rs. 50, the compilation of the Society's Library 

 Catalogue being far advanced. The item of "Postage" has been re- 

 duced by Rs. 50 ; as the expenditure of last year has been smaller than 

 usual. There is a reduction of Rs. 500 in the budget under the head 

 of Journal, Part III, which provides only for printing charges. This 

 sum has been distributed under the heads of " Postage," " Contin- 

 gencies," and " Printing Circulars " to provide for such expenses in 

 connection with the third part of the Journal. 



Beyond the Auditor's fee no other extraordinary expenditure is 

 anticipated during 1895.
