Annual Report of the Council for 1900, 



The Council are pleased to be able to state that the Finances 

 of the Society are in a very satisfactory condition and that there 

 has been a larger number of members added to the society than 

 on the previous year. The members added were : — 



Me. C. Boden Kloss. 

 Mr. B. II. F. Barnard. 

 Mr. H. Norman. 

 Mr. G. B. Cerruti. 

 Dr. B. F. West. 

 Mr, R, von Pustau 



Mr. J. Campbell-Ker. 

 Mr. H. F. Rankin. 

 Mr. P. J. Burglss. 

 Mr. W. G. C. Walter. 

 Hon. Datoh Bintara Luar. 

 Mb, J. E. Bishop. 



The Council regret to have to record the death of a Mem- 

 ber, Mr. H. S. Haynes, and feel that they could not pass over 

 in silence the death of Dr. N. B. Dennys, who was one of the 

 original members of the Society when it was founded in 1878. 

 He was a councillor of the Society for many years, and also 

 secretary, contributing many articles to its journal. He resign- 

 ed his membership on going to Borneo. 



Two Journals No. 33 and 34 were published during the 

 year, and another is now being printed off and would have been 

 in the hands of the members, but for the difficulty of procuring 

 sufficient material, the number of contributors to the Journal 

 being very small in proportion to the size of the Society. 



The sale of the Map of the Peninsula was very satisfactory. 



On the suggestion of a member, corresponding members 

 for the various Native States were instituted to collect notes and 

 correspondence for the Journal and to obtain new members. It 

 was found difficult however to get corresponding members for 

 all the Native States, but Dr. Luering kindly consented to act 

 for Perak and Mr. A. L. Butler for Selangor. 



A large number of books, pamphlets and periodicals were 

 received from kindred societies in exchange for copies of our 

 own Journal, and were added to the Library.
