HON. TREASURER'S STATEMENT. 



As usual the financial statement for tke year is shown 

 in the few following pages. 



Three new L.M.B.C. Memoirs have been published 

 during the year, namely, Pecten (the common scallop) > 

 Eledone (an octoped cuttle fish) and Polychaet Larvse. 

 The two former are illustrated with finely lithographed 

 plates, and the cost of producing them is necessarily great. 

 Nineteen Memoirs have already been issued and there are 

 more in course of preparation. Doris by Sir Charles Eliot 

 is already far advanced, and it is hoped that Zostera, 

 Sagitta, Buccinum and the Oyster will follow soon. 



Unless more funds are forthcoming the publication 

 of these Memoirs will have to be delayed, and the Treasurer 

 hopes that further donations will be received to meet their 

 cost. The Aquarium at Port Erin continues to prove a 

 source of great interest to visitors to the Isle of Man, but 

 owing to the bad season it is to be regretted that the present 

 receipts do not quite equal those of last year. 



The expenses of the Biological Station annually grow 

 heavier, the work done there being continually on the in- 

 crease as is shown in this Report. More subscribers are 

 badly needed, and the Treasurer hopes that those 

 interested in the work carried on by the L.M.B.C. will do 

 what they can to help to increase the list.
