4 ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 



Sydney. 



February 2nd, 1914. 

 The Council, 



The Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, 



Moore Park, 



SYDNEY. 



Dear Sirs, 



We have to report the completion of writing up and auditing the Books and Vouchers of 

 the Society for the year ended 31st December, 1913, and have certified to the accompanying 

 Statement of Receipts and Disbursements, as being in accordance therewith. 



With a few exceptions, the vouchers have all been seen, and the production of those missing 

 is promised us in due course. 



RECEIPTS. 



The Receipts of the year, as set out in detail on the attached Statement, totalled £6036 14 6 

 The Receipts for the year 1912 were 8963 12 5 



Seing a decrease of £2926 17 n 



It will be seen from the following comparative Statement, that the decrease in Revenue for 

 the year under review, as compared with 1912, is practically accounted for by the fact that in 

 1912 a Government Grant of ^3000 was received, whereas in 1913 no subsidy was received. 



With regard to the decrease in expenditure, this is also largely due to an amount of iiooo 

 being transferred in 1912 to the New Zoo Trust, and not in 1913. 



The following comparison of Receipts and Expenditure with those for the year ended 31st 

 December, 1912, will explain in detail the decrease of Receipts and Expenditure. 



Yours faithfully, 



(Signed) L. S. DRUMMOND & CO.
