III. MEMBERSHIP 



The receipts from membership are an important item in the 

 Museum's income and continuous efforts are made to secure 

 new members. During the past year the results have been 

 especially gratifying. 



The new Members number 348, and as the loss through 

 death and resignation is 114, the net gain is 234. It is a 

 pleasure to record that this is the largest number added dur- 

 ing a single year in the Museum's history, an indication of 

 the increased interest in the work of the institution.

 divided into classes as follows: Patrons, 103; Fellows, 41; 

 Honorary Fellows, 2; Life Members, 427; Sustaining Mem- 

 bers, 17; Annual Members, 1,792.
