death of 4 Foreign Members. ‘Two of these vacancies in the list of 
Foreign Members were filled up by election during the year, and a 
third by the reinstatement of the name of a Foreign Member whose 
death had been erroneously reported. In the list of Foreign Corre- 
spondents there was 1 vacancy at the end of 1882; intelligence was 
received of the death of 1 Foreign Correspondent in 1883; and these 
losses, with the filling-up of the above-mentioned vacancies in the 
list of Foreign Members, produced 4 vacancies in the list of Foreign 
Correspondents, 3 of which were filled up during the year. Thus at 
the close of 1883 there were 2 vacancies in the list of Foreign 
Members, and 1 in that of the Foreign Correspondents. 
The total Receipts on account of Income for the year 1883 were 
£2675 10s. 8d., being £68 1s. 9d. more than the estimated Income

to £2413 4s. 4d., or £165 11s. 5d. less than the estimated Expen- 
diture of the year. The excess of Income over Expenditure was 
therefore £262 6s. 4d.
