APPENDIX B. 
HON. TREASURER’S STATEMENT. 
From the balance sheet appended it will be seen that 
the year again ends with a small debit balance, although 
all due economy has been observed, consistent with 
efficiency. 
The British Association (1896) fund has, to a consider- 
able extent, enabled the Committee to continue the extra 
expense involved in securing the services of a competent 
Resident Curator at the Port Erin Station, which has 
already proved of marked benefit to workers and students, 
the number of whom have thereby considerably increased. 
The appeal made by the Director in his last year’s 
Report for an additional income of about £100 per annum, 
to be utilised in publishing well-illustrated papers and 
memoirs, embodying the results of local biological inves- 
tigations, has been responded to by Mr. Gossage by a dona- 
tion for the present year. This fund is being separately 
applied for the publication of a valuable series of well- 
illustrated Biological Memoirs now appearing, the accounts 
of which will be published later. 
The Hon. Treasurer will be glad to receive the names 
of new subscribers, with the view of continuing these 
publications, and further adding very materially to the 
already excellent work achieved under the auspieces of 
the L.M.B.C. since its foundation, fifteen years ago.
