Finance. 



The total of receipts for the 

 year as per marginal memo, ap- 

 pears to be Es. 18,517-14-10 and 

 of disbursements Es. 17,947-15-7, 

 leaving a balance of Es. 569-15-3 

 in favor of the Society on the 

 year's transactions. The receipts 

 however, include a grant from Government of Es. 1,200 obtained 

 for the specific purpose of paving the ground floor of the Museum 

 with Chunar flag stones, and if this sum be excluded from the 

 ordinary income of the year as it should be, the expenses will be 

 found to have exceeded the receipts by Es. 630-0-9. "With refer- 

 ence to this excess of expenditure over income the Council have to 

 observe that the necessity of arranging the Society's collection 

 of fossils (A) and providing large glazed 

 cases for the Museum (B.) and the Library 

 (C.) has involved heavy expenses, which, 

 however, are not likely to recur. 

 The liabilities of the Society includiug the estimated cost of the 

 last 4 numbers of the Journal and its Index and the new catalogue 

 of the Library amount to Es. 2,679-2-4. To meet this, there is an 

 available cash balance of Es. 7,603-2-1 or nearly three times more 

 than the liabilities. 



The outstanding assets remain very much the same as at the close 

 of 1854. 



The probable income and expenditure of the ensuing year may be 

 estimated as follows :
