APPENDIX B. 
HON. TREASURER’S STATEMENT. 
In the following few pages is shown the list of 
Subseribers and Balance Sheet for 1908. The latter shows 
a balance of £18 in hand which, however, will disappear 
in the course of the next few weeks since the stock of 
bottles, chemicals, and other supplies, which is usually laid 
in at this time of the year, has not yet been bought. When 
this necessary expenditure has been made the account will 
probably show a small balance due to the Treasurer. 
As has been mentioned earlier in this Report, several 
of our subscribers have died during the past year, and the 
Treasurer would like to point out the necessity of adding 
to the list of subscribers, as every year the expenses of 
the Port Erin Biological Station are heavier, the work 
done there being continually on the increase. 
The L.M.B.C. Memoirs are being published in rapid 
succession as funds permit. During the past year Cancer 
(the edible crab) has been issued; Pecten (the common 
scallop) is now in the printers’ hands, and Hledone (an 
Octopod Cuttle-fish) will be ready early next year. 
These Memoirs are illustrated with beautifully- 
reproduced plates, which are necessarily expensive, and, as 
the Balance Sheet shows, there is a sum of £114 in hand 
(allocated by the donors to this purpose), which will have 
to be almost at once expended on the Memoirs now ready 
for publication. 
The Treasurer will therefore gladly receive further 
donations for this purpose, or subscriptions to meet the 
necessary working expenses of the Biological Station at 
Port Erin.

Hon. Treasurer.
