Financially I am glad to say that we are in a satisfactory con- 
dition, the large accession of new members has more than made 
up the losses caused by deaths and non-payment of subscriptions, 
so that our total income was £1405 13s. 10d. the largest we have 
ever had, and on the other hand we have spent freely, and in 
proportion to our income to the extent of £1,243 14s. 3d., of 
which sum £137 14s. 9d. went for repairs to building, £225 15s. 5d. 
for books, and £278 11s. 6d. for publishing our volume. And, - 
notwithstanding the heavy expenditure, we have been able in 
accordance with our rule to transfer £165 or nearly all the entrance 
fees to the building fund, which now amounts to £769, towards 
a better building, I mean one with more accommodation for the 
members. And lastly, we have a small balance in hand, and no 
liabilities. During the past year we have exchanged our volume 
with three hundred and sixty-four kindred societies, getting as 
many valuable volumes in return, and we have added nine more 
societies to the exchange list, as follows :—1 Aéronautical Society 
of Great Britain, London. 2. Civic Museum of Natural History, 
Trieste. 3. Museum of Natural History, Liibeck. 4. Queens- 
land Museum, Brisbane. 5. School of Anthropology, Paris. 6. 
Society of Naturalists, Ziirich. 7, The Colliery Engineer Co., 
Scranton (Pa) U.S.A. 8. Weather Bureau, Department of Agri- 
culture, Washington, U.S.A. 9. Yorkshire Geological and Poly- 
technic Society, Halifax. 
In accordance with our practice, we have steadily kept in view 
the importance of completing serial publications in our Library
