TREASURER’S REPORT 
To the Council of the Geological Society of America : 
The accompanying statement of receipts and disbursements for the 
current year (December 1, 1896—December 1, 1897) exhibits in detail the 
present financial condition of the Society. 
The chief points of interest may be summarized as follows: 
The names of five Fellows have been dropped from the roll for non- 
payment of dues, each being three years in arrears. 
Sixteen new Fellows have been elected during the year and all except 
two had qualified (and they have since done so) at the date when the 
Treasurer’s books close for the year (November 30th). 
The Fellows delinquent on dues for 1896 and 1897 number 15, all of 
whom must be dropped from the roll early in 1898 unless their dues be 
paid in whole or in part prior to that time. 
Thirty-four Fellows are delinquent on dues for the year 1897, of whom 
four have paid since the closing of the Treasurer’s books.
