must be added that this result is due to the generosity of the Carnegie Trust for 

 the Universities of Scotland, which gave to the Society the five plates illustrating 

 Carboniferous Fishes, and to the gratuitous services of Mrs. Shakespear, who 

 prepared all the original drawings for the text-figures of Graptolites. 



The Council are still much concerned about the difficulty of obtaining new 

 personal subscribers to replace the losses sustained each year, and have published 

 various advertisements without much success. They would welcome the help and 

 personal influence of the members in making the work and needs of the Society 

 more widely known among those who r are interested in the study of fossils. 



Among losses during the past year the Society mourns the death of a distin- 

 guished conchologist, the Rev. R. Boog Watson, F.R.S.E. 



The thanks of the Society are due to the Council of 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. 



In conclusion, it is proposed that the retiring members of Council be Prof. 

 Garwood, Mr. Lang, Mr. Clement Reid, and Prof. Watts ; that the new members 

 be Mr. H. Dewey, Mr. Upfield Green, Dr. Rowe, and Dr. Strahan ; 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.
