Annual Report of the Council, April, 1894. 



The Society began the session with an ordinary 

 membership of 124. During the session one former 

 member has been re-admitted, and 7 new members have 

 joined the Society ; 7 resignations have been received 

 and the deaths have been 6, viz. : — Mr. Thomas Armstrong, 

 Dr. Charles Clay, Mr. Joseph Davis, Mr. W. K. Deane, 

 Prof. A. Milnes Marshall, and Mr. Archibald Sandeman. 

 This left on the roll on the 31st March, 1894, 119 

 ordinary members. The Society has also lost two honorary 

 members by death, viz. : — Dr. John Tyndall and Professor 

 H. Hertz. 



The Treasurer's accounts, which accompany this report, 

 detail the items of receipt and expenditure for the past 

 session. The total cash balance in favour of the Society 

 on the 31st March, 1894, was £244. 13s. nd., that amount 

 being in the hands of the Society's bankers on that date. 

 At the corresponding period in the previous year the cash 

 balance was ,£1 36. 8s. 4d., but this year an account for printing 

 Memoirs, circulars, &c, amounting to £go had not been 

 adjusted and paid in time to bring it within the financial 

 year ; the payment of this account would have reduced the 

 balance at the end of the session to ^154. 



The renovation of the Society's rooms and fittings, 

 alluded to in the report of the Council of the previous year, 

 was accomplished during the summer at a cost of £8g. 5s. 3d., 

 and as this expenditure was beyond the ordinary income of 

 the Society, it was largely met by donations of £62. os. 6d. 

 from eight members, as specified in the accompanying 

 balance sheet. The thanks of the Society are due to these
