Two of these papers are still in the hands of the Secretary so as 

 not to unduly inflate the printing account of the year. The others 

 are being printed, or are by this time in the hands of the printers. 



During the year the Society has issued parts 5 of Vol. XV. ; 

 parts 1 and 2 of Vol. XVI., making 411 pages and 3 plates ; part 

 3 of the same volume is shortly expected. 



Sixteen members have resigned their membership ; 2 have left 

 no address ; 10 have been removed from the list owing to long 

 arrears in the payment of their yearly subscriptions ; we have lost 

 1 by death. Against this reduction of 26 names, 13 new members 

 have been elected during the year, and the Members' Eoll now 

 consists of 214 names. 



From the Treasurer's Eeport it will be seen that mainly owing 

 to the large amount received from the sale of publications 

 (£76 12s. 2d.), the receipts of the year (£378 16s. 8d.) cover the 

 expenditure (£382 14s. 8d.), but the printing account for the 

 incoming year will prove to be a very heavy one.
