By resignations we have lost 15 members, and three 

 deaths have been reported, viz. : Mr. A. S. Wilson, Mr. S. 

 Eayner, and Prof. E. Chavannes. 



Prof. Chavannes was one of our Hon. Members, con- 

 nected with the Society for nearly 30 years. The list of 

 Hon. Members is strengthened by the addition of Mr. S. 

 Couling, m.a., who is so well known for his past work for the 

 Society, and more recently by the publication of his valuable 

 Encyclopaedia Sinica. 



The usual pruning of the list of members by removal of 

 defaulters has resulted in further reducing our list by twenty- 

 four names. 



The present membership is 515 a net gain of 12 over 

 last year. Ten public meetings have been held during the 

 season, all well attended and in some cases there was not 

 sufficient room for those who came ; the problem of increased 

 accommodation is one which must soon claim the attention 

 of the Society. The Papers read, and Lectures given, before 

 the Society were as follows: — 



"The Boundarv Provinces of Western .China," bv Mr. 

 E. C. Wilton.
