years, but the Council regret to have to record serious losses among subscribers 

 which they have not succeeded in making good. A most distinguished member, 

 Dr. W. T. Blanford, F.R.S., died shortly after his election as Vice-President in 

 June, 1905. Mrs. Percy Sladen, Rev. F. A. Walker, and Mr. W. H. Goss were 

 also lost by death; while several libraries retired after a short period of subscription. 



The Council desire to emphasise the importance of obtaining new subscribers 

 to compensate for these losses, and are especially anxious to enlist the practical 

 sympathy of all who are interested in the progress of Palaeontology. The 

 Monographs offered for publication are still more numerous than the Council are 

 able to accept, and the completion of current Monographs would be much 

 facilitated by additional funds to provide the requisite illustrations. 



Thanks are due to the Geological Society for permission both to store the 

 stock of back volumes and to hold the Council meetings and the Annual General 

 Meeting in their apartments. 



hi conclusion, it is proposed that the retiring members of Council be Messrs. 

 Bullen, Hopkiuson, and Sollas; that the new Vice-President be Mr. Iludleston ; 

 that the new members be Messrs. H. W. Burrows, Clement Reid, and W. W. 

 Watts; that the President be Dr. Henry Woodward; the Treasurer, Dr. G. J. 

 Hinde ; and the Secretary, Dr. A. Smith Woodward. 



Annexed is the Balance-sheet.
