ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, 



February 21st, 1913. 



Dr. Aubrey Strahan, F.H.S., President. 

 in the Chair. 



Report of the Council for 1912. 



During the year under review G'3 new Fellows were elected into 

 the Society, 15 more than during 1911. Of the 03 Fellows elected 

 in 1912, 44 paid their Admission Fees before the end of that year. 

 Of the Fellows who had been elected in the previous year, 13 paid 

 their Admission Fees in 1912, making the total accession of new 

 Fellows during the year under review amount to 57 (10 more than 

 in 1911). 



Deducting from this number a loss of 52 Fellows (1 elected 

 Foreign Correspondent, 15 resigned, 28 deceased, and 8 removed 

 from the List, under Bye-Laws, Sect. VI, Art. 5), it will be seen 

 that there is an increase of 5 in the Number of Fellows (as compared 

 with a decrease of 5 in 1911 and an increase of 5 in 1910). 



The total Number of Fellows is, therefore, now 1299, made up as 

 follows: — Compounders, 247 (one less than in 1911); Contributing 

 Fellows, 1031 (7 more than in 1911); and Non-contributing Fellows, 

 21 (1 less than in 1911). 



Turning to the Lists of Foreign Members and Foreign Corre- 

 spondents, the Council recall with regret the loss during the past 

 year of Prof. G. J. Brush and Prof. F. Zirkel, Foreign Members ; 

 as also of Prof. F. A. Forel, Prof. E. von Koken, Prof. C. de 

 Kroustchoff, and Prof. Ii. S. Tarr, Foreign Correspondents. The 

 vacancies in the List of Foreign Members were filled by the election 

 of Prof. M. Boule and Prof. J. Walther. It will be remembered 

 that there were three vacancies in the List of Foreign Corre- 

 spondents at the end of 1911. These were filled by the election of 

 Dr. F. W. Clarke, Dr. Whitman Cross, and Baron F. Nopcsa. 

 Three further vacancies were filled by the election of Prof. C. 

 Diener, Dr. F. Omori, and Prof. E. Weinschenk, but there still 

 remain three vacancies in the List of Foreign Correspondents. 



With regard to the Income and Expenditure of the Society during 

 1912, the figures set forth in detail in the Balance-Sheet may be 

 summarized as follows : — The actual lieceipts (excluding the Balance 

 of ,£475 lis. J Qd. brought forward from the previous year) amounted 

 to £3417 15s. 9d., being £367 9s. 9d. more than the estimated 

 Income. On the other hand, the total Expenditure during the
